During that time, Sean provided excellent, dedicated, professional services to the people we support. He was caring and genuine, having a positive impact on the lives of those whom he supported. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, as well as the people he supported & coworkers.

- Posted by: Yvette Labossiere (Friend) on: Jul 12, 2012 - We were so very saddened to hear about Sean's death. It's still hard to believe! Little did we know that the last time Sean dropped off Aaron after a night of respite was the last chance we would have to talk to him. Aaron always looked forward to his weekly outings with him. We will miss him so much!

- Posted by: Kim Zimmermann (Friend) on: Jul 9, 2012 - If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident. If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love. It is obvious from the wonderful thoughts posted from family and friends that your son Sean was taught by wonderful parents to be a great human being. Take heart in knowing that he touched other lives in such a positive way.
- Posted by: Sharon Bain (Barb's co-worker) on: Jul 8, 2012 - My condolences go out to Shawn's family. I was shocked to hear my former Lifework's co-worker had died at such a young age. Shawn had a special way of connecting with all the Lifeworks clients that he worked with. A kind gentle sort of patient way without prejudice of any kind. He will be missed by people in that community no doubt, and by all of his co-workers.

- Posted by: betty (friend) on: Jul 6, 2012 - Mr. & Mrs. V, Jenny & Steve and anyone who was lucky enough to know Sean; my heart aches for you all.
He was so fortunate to have such an awesome family whom he spoke so highly of and loved dearly.
I hope you can find comfort in knowing that he was an amazing man who was polite, kind, generous and liked by anyone who met him. He would do anything for any of his friends whenever they needed him.
It is an absolute privilege to know him and to have had him as a constant in my life for the past 8 years.
I miss him already and am thankful for the very memorable Canada Day weekend we had, and I will hold onto that forever and always.
