Sean was born in Richmond, IN in 1966 and moved to Dunwoody, GA in 1976.He attended Peachtree High School, The New School at Lost Forest and then Reinhardt College in Waleska, GA where he graduated with an Associate Degree in Business Administration. Sean settled into a career in construction until he had to retire to disability in 2010. It was at that time that the real work began. Once diagnosed, his life was devoted to beating the odds and finding a cure. He was very blessed with the team of doctors on his side...doctors who would fight with him! Sean was dedicated to cancer research and participated in every fund raising motorcycle cancer charity ride that he could...riding his Harley, of course. Through it all he never lost his amazing sense of humor or desire to help others. By all accounts, Sean was one of the wittiest, funniest, most sincere, loving, giving souls to ever walk this earth. Heaven is the real winner now. Celebration of Life will be held in the Chapel of Flanigan Funeral Home, 4400 S.
