Peacefully, following a lengthy illness, we announce the passing of Sean James McCaughey, with his parents by his side, on September 18, 2026, at the age of 48 years.
Left to mourn his passing are his children, Keegan and Gavin; parents, Michele and Grant; sister, Erin (Bryce); niece, Scarlett; nephew, Evan; and his dear companion, Tina. He also leaves behind his uncles, aunts, and cousins. He was predeceased by his aunt, Theresa, whom he remembered fondly.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, August 16, 1978, Sean spent his childhood in the Niverville area, where he built friendships and memories that stayed with him throughout his life. He attended Niverville Collegiate Institute and grew into a young man who loved sports - hockey, baseball, golf, and high school volleyball all brought him joy.
In 2006, Sean began his career at UPS, where he formed lasting friendships with coworkers and customers alike. He took pride in knowing every street and back lane of his route through downtown Winnipeg and Elmwood.
Sean’s love for sports continued throughout adulthood. He was a proud supporter of the Jets and Bombers, and through his work, he especially enjoyed delivering to the Jets organization and getting to know the staff.
Sean loved his boys. He enjoyed taking them to sports events, teaching them how to skate and ride a bike, building a backyard rink, tossing the football, attending their games, and biking along Sturgeon Creek. He was so proud of all their accomplishments.
Wherever Sean went, he made friends. He loved meeting people and made connections easily. He was always ready to lend a hand to his friends and neighbours, and his absence will be deeply felt.
In honour of Sean’s memory, donations can be made to the Bruce and Anne Oake Foundation at:

Special thanks is given to the staff at Grace Hospital.

I was saddened to hear of Sean’s passing. He was so sweet.l had not seen Sean in years but one day he rang the buzzer at the Manitoba Human Rights Commission with a delivery. I took the parcel and Sean said I know you and we hugged. Then we kept in touch via Facebook. He spoke a lot of his boys, he expressed so much love and admiration for his boys. My condolences go out to his so sons, Michelle and Grant and all the rest of his family and close friends. Sean fought the good fight and taught us to live in hope, with joy and kindness. Until we meet again my friend 🫶 - Posted by: Beatrice watson (Friend) on: Sep 29, 2026
