He was a big fan of all New England sports and loved going to games.
He enjoyed cooking and hosting cookouts for friends and family.
He loved his grandmother, Nanny, deeply, and she was a very important part of his life.
He loved dogs and had a childhood favorite, Missy, an Airedale Terrier who adored him.
Sean was a fun-loving, quick-witted, funny guy. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a big jokester. He could make anyone laugh and lighten the mood quickly if needed.
