Sean and I went to a King Diamond and Trouble (lesser known christian metal band) at the penny arcade in Charlotte Beach. Thus, a Christian band vs. Diamond?? I got grounded for that by the way going there! He was one of the nicest guys I met and he lived across the street from me. He never tired of "metal" and it got old for me. To discover Sean was a believer was something I never expected. This is great news because he was welcomed to the shores of heaven with a renewed perfect body to never suffer from ailments again. What an honor to meet and be touched by the hand of God in such a way! We will all miss him, but this was God's plan and we should praise God for that. All things work for God's greater purpose. Sean is home now, walking with the Lord. So now, I will pray the the Lord will lift Shawn and his family up during a difficult time. Imagine Sean hearing the words, "Welcome home Sean, welcome home!"

I have been avoiding writing anything because I wanted to write something profound and memorable that would do Sean justice....but everyone has written such wonderful things about Sean that I dont feel the need for that anymore. I just want to say that Sean was a dynamic person who touched everyone he met. His entire life was dedicated to fulfilling his dream of making music. I think I speak for everyone when I say he will live on through his music he left us with, and the wonderful memories we all shared with him. Sean,
please rest in peace and know that I will always remember and love you with all my heart.

I wish this was a dream and I could wake up and hear you say Miguel get up you fell asleep, during one of or many long video game adventures we had yes the name you loved to call me. We have done so much over the 25yrs. The last week has been the hardest time of my life and everybody else that knew you to you made such a impact on us all. Everyday a movie of the things we did plays in my head I laugh then I cry. The last thing you said to me was love you like a brother. We will always be brothers god brought us together in this world and he will bring us to together again. You will live on in my heart brother and I will keep my promise to you. Love you brother.

Sean ... what can I say? We grew up together and shared many a good time. Our lives took different routes in adulthood but I've always thought fondly of the fun we had back then. I just found out about his illness and passing and want to pass along my heartfelt best wishes and condolances to his family - Rose, Dennis, Marie, and his wife, Karen.

Almost 9 years ago God made it possible for Sean’s path to cross with mine. Music was the chariot that made that happen. I have never been more thankful for a friend like Sean. A real true friend like Sean exists in hard to find places that one has to search complicated distances for. After seemingly a thousand rehearsals, a hundred shows, and almost 3 albums recorded together, Sean’s, gifted, clever, and talented voice will always ring true into a special place in my heart. I hear it now at this very split second as I type as tears swell up in my eyes and a lump begins to form. I don’t know if I can ever listen to Cleansing again. After everyone would leave my home where we practiced, Sean and I (Rusty a lot too) would sit up till midnight trying to solve the world’s problems. We talked about everything from politics, religion, nature, weather, space, science, time; and music of course which was our passion. He had more political knowledge that 30 senators’ put together and could spell words that could stump English teachers. He knew sports and loved God with all of his mind, body, and spirit. If there ever was a heavy metal Christian who smoked Marlboro’s, Sean was it; he was a Believer. I can never remember at anytime the two of us ever raising our voices at each other or having any type of argument or disagreement in all the years we spent together; not one. We always seems at peace with each other. I could write a book and someday I just might. I think of the positive ways he touched lives with the quickness he did and the impact he had on people. I think of his wife Karen, I think of Rusty, Joe, Slosh, Nancy, Craig, Karen G. , and so many others. It was hard at the very end watching Sean fight, change appearance, and slowly break down; watching his loved ones by his side; a place Karen was all the time since the day they meant. They were attached at the hip. He even sang his last few full shows with us as cancer was beginning its attack on him, fighting for every breath as he serenaded through the songs unaware of the advancement it was making . He said one thing to me that I will never forget as long as I live at the end of his courageous journey as I sat by his side and held his hand: “Ya know TK, I wake up every day and I don’t ask God for anything, I just thank him that I am alive and for my life and let other people pray for me if they want to”. Wow; very powerful words. I ask myself, would I say that or shake my fist? Sean took the high road. Sean passed away near Independence Day, a day in which Sean is now truly free and with the promise of peace, joy, and loving kindness with his Lord and God from everlasting to everlasting. It is an end in one respect but a new beginning in another. I love you Sean and will miss you. I was always so proud and humbled to be your drummer and true friend. I considered it an honor. You have fought the good fight and have earned your crown. You have finished the race. I am thankful for your life and the way you touched mine. You will always be part of me. TK

To Shawn's family:
Rosemary & Dennis-I'm sure you won't remember me...so many years have passed. I'm Debbie Clark's Mom. I wanted you to know how sad I am in hearing of Shawn's passing. Much too young. So much to live for. I do know from conversations with Debbie, that Shawn has been surrounded by loving family & friends over the years, and most especially during his illness. From reading the messages at this site, it sounds like many people truly & deeply cared for him. That is something you all can carry with you as you mourn and think about the full life he led. And to you Karen & your family, Thank you for giving Debbie an opportunity to say goodbye to Shawn. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow.

I only got to really know Sean on a personal level within the past five years or so. What i did find out about him was that he was a great person with a really cool sense of humor, and an over all awesome friend. He was a very talented singer as well. He will be greatly missed but, Never Forgotten.
Until we meet again, Rest In Peace My Friend...

Sean, I will miss you.
You were my oldest friend, so while I know have taken your place at the Lord's side, I selfishly want you back here, to talk with you some more at one more time.
I am proud to have known him and prouder still of the spiritual and personal accomplishments he gained over the last several years.
Those who knew him well are truly blessed.
Goodbye old friend and I will see you again in heaven.

Sean you were always a wonderful friend to me and my husband. I fondly remember the talks we would have till 3 am, the humor you brought into my life and also how you introduced all of my children to your love for music. Life happens and we lost touch, Marriages and kids and no matter what, when we met up again it was just as when we had hung out all the time. The only thing that makes me feel a little bit better about your passing is that you will now be with Wolf. We had a great time together and my husband is so glad he got to meet such a great friend. Words cannot say just how much me and my family will miss your sense of humor and what a wonderful person you are. I am so happy you were given true happiness. Love ya Sean. Miss you terribly, but I know you will be watching out for me and my family and everyone else in your life until we meet again.

Sean and I used to say to each other all the time that we're brothers from another mother
because we had so many of the same likes and dislikes and could talk about anything with
each other. It's hard to find a best friend like that in this world. His passion for
music was equal to mine and we would talk music for hours. Sean had a strong faith and we
would discuss the Bible quite a bit and he always had a keen incite into the words of the
lord that I respected greatly. He will live forever in my heart and through his music that
was put out into the world. Not only did he have a great voice but the lyrics that he
wrote had meaning and came from the heart which is a gift unto itself. I can't say enough
good things about Seans character and my deepest sympathies and hugs go out to Karen and
all of Seans family. My heart aches and I will miss Sean terribly. I love you my brother
and I will see you again someday. Thanks for the music and God bless.
