Council member offers condolences for longtime local official Sean, shares visitation details
Summary
A council member read a memorial statement for Sean, noting his service as alderman, commissioner and trustee for Darien, Downers Grove and Woodridge, his involvement in local organizations, and announced visitation and a funeral Mass in early August.
A council member opened the meeting with a memorial for Sean, saying he grew up in Darien, lived in Downers Grove and most recently Woodridge and served all three communities in leadership roles. The speaker said Sean held elected posts "as alderman, commissioner and trustee," and also participated in civic groups including the Lions Club, the Moose Lodge, the Rotary Club and, most recently, served as president of the 7 Bridges homeowners association where he lived.
The council member described Sean's professional life in banking and said he brought that same energy to public service. Recalling his personality, the speaker said Sean "had enthusiasm for life that was contagious," and added that "his kindness, his generosity, his genuine care for others will be remembered long after today." The statement named Sean's family — Kelly, Gavin and Avery — and extended condolences from the village of Downers Grove.
The speaker announced visitation and funeral logistics: a visitation is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 6, from 3 to 9 p.m. at Modell Funeral Home on Cass Avenue in Darien; an additional visitation is set for Friday, Aug. 7, beginning at 8:15 a.m., followed by prayers and a procession to Saint Mary of Gaston Church for a 10 a.m. Mass. The council member closed by noting Sean's decade-plus service on the council and saying the communities are better because of his work.
No motions or votes were taken on the memorial remarks.
