Born June 7, 1970 – Toronto, Ontario
Sean passed away suddenly on May 9, 2018 at the age of 47 years. Born in Toronto, Ontario on June 7, 1970 to Sharon O’Sullivan (nee O’Brien) and Douglas McNaney (deceased), and lovingly raised in Bolton, Ontario with his step-father Barry O’Sullivan. He was an incredibly loving father of his two beautiful girls Hayley and Jaylin, who remain in the care of their mother Dawn. Sean was one of nine children and is survived by his brothers Douglas (Deb), Daniel, Terry (Margaret), David, Kevin (Brent) and sisters Laura (Jim), Anne Marie (Derryl) and Joanne (Cyrus). He was always a favoured uncle to his fourteen nieces and nephews thanks to his amazing sense of humour and willingness to engage always in their endless shenanigans.
Sean finished high school in Brampton, Ontario and immediately showed his incredible talent in the trades. He completed additional technical training to become a certified gasfitter and quickly built a successful business while working all over southern Ontario. Sean worked his business with passion and purpose right up to the end and will be missed dearly by his many friends he met throughout his successful career.
Sean’s biggest love was his family, and there was nothing Sean loved more than being with his family in the great outdoors. Sean was passionate about fishing for the ever elusive muskie and pike, and continued ice fishing throughout coldest months of the year. He also loved exploring the vast forest and countryside of Ontario on snowmobiles and quads. After all this activity, his favourite times always seemed to be around the campfire at night enjoying laughter and stories with his family and friends.
Always quick with a joke or a story, Sean’s humour put people at ease. Sean has countless close friends and enjoyed a treasured lifetime of deep friendships with people who will miss him dearly.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) on Wednesday evening, May 16 from 6 o’clock until time of celebration of life in the chapel at 7 o’clock. Followed by a reception. Condolences may be offered at www.EganFuneralHome.com.
In lieu of flowers, Sean would have been delighted if you would make a donation to a trust fund established for his beloved daughters Hayley and Jaylin. Donations can be made through their grandmother, Sharon O’Sullivan (contact mcnaney@telus.net if you need additional information).
~ Rest in Peace Sean ~

We sadly did not get to spend a lot of time with Sean to get to know him better but judging from his mother and friends, he was no doubt a wonderful father and son who will be sadly missed. The sudden passing of Sean reminds us all that you never know where or when life ends, so make sure that goodbyes are said and differences are always settled before you part.
Rest in peace Sean.

My condolences to McNaney/O’Sullivan families. Remembering good times.

Patti & Gregg Semple
Gregg & I are at a complete lost for words and devastated over Sean’s sudden death. We loved him like a brother and he was an uncle to our 2 kids, Tia & Tyler. We enjoyed having him stay with us from time to time as he was always so funny with his natural talent of raping or singing to a song while chaning the original lyrics. He often came to Tyler’s baseball games over the years, or stayed at our house to watch the Jays or Leafs play on TV. His shared love for sports and fishing with Gregg was a great brotherly-bond for decades that will be forever cherished. He often helped Gregg with home projects and was always so polite. We miss Sean immensely and he will always be in our hearts & prayers. RIP our dear friend & brother, xoxoxoxo

May you find peace and comfort in the fond memories you hold in your heart.

Susan
Dear Aunt Sharon and Uncle Barry,
We are so incredibly saddened by the news of your loss. We are so very sorry. I know that I did not know Sean, but if he is a reflection of you then I know he was a great man.
I am faithful that he is in a good place and pray that your hearts can heal quickly in spite of such a great loss.
Things like this are nearly impossible to understand but the belief that it is a part of God’s bigger plan and the idea of Sean sitting up in his glory fishing, joking alongside the big man himself I hope brings some comfort.
Sending love, light and prayers your way.
Susan, Greg, Mason and Jax
Brian Hunt
