As Sarah's cousin, I only met Sean last year at his mother-in-law's funeral, but there he was strong for Sarah and Henry, helping her get through her grief. Now we as family offer the love in the same way to Sarah, to Henry and Ann, and to all of Sean's family. May you find God's comfort in the surrounding love of family - Pamela

I first met Sean 6 years ago when my niece, Sarah, brought him to Baltimore to attend a wedding. They were married 3 years later. He was a humble, wonderful young man. It is much better to have known Sean for 6 short years than to have never known him. We will remember him most fondly. Uncle Sam

What a loss this world is experiencing without Sean. I will always hold fond memories of the little Sean Mitchell I met and played with many years ago at St. Mike’s. And the Sean Mitchell I cheered for on the sidelines at Egan football games. Though after high school we lost touch, I feel his loss immensely. I’m praying for you all, especially for his wife, Sarah. Sending all of my love.

I’ve been trying to come up with the right words, but none seem fitting enough. Sean was one of the best guys I’ve ever known. I will always think of his smile and how hard he made his friends laugh. My heart goes out to everyone in his family and all of his dear friends. I am beyond grateful for the memories of knowing Sean.
“May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.”
