This is beyond heartbreaking. Such a fine lad. Rip Seany.

Rest In Peace,
From fellow musician Jason @Katie Daly's Monday night group

Partings are heartaches that no one can heal,
Memories are keepsakes that no one can steal.
My grandma passed at 102, this was one of her favourites from her book.
Another I shared with Sean was
Look not for the flaws as you go through life, or even when you find them.
Tis wise and ti's kind to be somewhat blind, and look to the virtue behind them.
X x x he said he'd have loved to hear more from her.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of your beautiful son Sean. Our thoughts are with you Laura, Michael, the girls and all your family. Fly high x

I'm so sorry to Sean's family & friends, such a devastating loss, my brother was a good friend of his & he was so very fond of Sean, anytime he was up in our house he was so polite & friendly, he was a credit to his parents, he will be greatly missed, life is very unfair, I hope Sean looks down on his family & friends & gives them the strength to get through this horrendous time, sleep well Sean, RIP sweetheart xxx

My deepest sympathy goes out to Sean's family & friends at this time & for all time. Once Sean had been part of your life, in any small way, you could never forget him. I had the great pleasure of meeting him through school & to witnessing one of the most amazing transformations I think I have ever seen in a child. Sleep well beautiful boy & share your music with the angels. xx

it's hard to express how much Sean is loved. when his sudden loss is finally absorbed he will be so dreadfully missed. there is no one else we know who can fill the gap his absence will bring in our lives. we are so proud of you Sean, for so many reasons. our love and hugs to you, laura, micheal, sophie, kate and gaby. we love you. xxx
