About Sean
We remember Sean for his confidence, infectious smile, outgoing personality, and theatrical talents. He always knew how to brighten the room and make others laugh, even in the most serious of times. Tragically, Sean lost his personal struggle at the age of thirteen. He loved Beyoncé, and even carried the nickname Sasha Fierce. Sean was a son, brother, and friend. He was an inspiration to anyone who had the opportunity to know him. Sean’s vibrant spirit lives on through his loved ones and those in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Sean and his legacy are the driving forces behind this foundation.
