I am so heartbroken that you are gone. At least I have the memories of our childhood together and even better times getting in trouble together as teenagers. I always loved seeing you at family gatherings. The O’Brien family sure knows how to have a good time together. I am going to miss you more than you know “bobo”. Life is not going to be the same without you. I love you, rest in peace my dear cousin.

My thoughts and prays go out to all his family and friends.
I am very sorry to hear about Sean. I only knew him a short time. He started work with Champagne’s Energy as a seasonal deliver last year. He was a fun loving guy with a big smile you could see for miles. He all ways had nice thing to say about his fellow employees. I will miss not seeing him here next year.
