Sean Richards Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sullivan Family Funeral Homes & Cremation Service - Hinsdale on Jul. 22, 2023.
Sean Patrick Richards, age 14; beloved and loving son, amazing brother and caring friend to all. Sean was truly an angel among us and is now an angel in Heaven. Sean was a gentle soul, with a unique understanding of kindness and friendship. He was sunshine, goodness and a positive influence on everyone around him. Sean was full of joy and wonder and gave love freely to everyone he met. He was always sincere, earnest and humble. Sean loved to smile, and his laugh was infectious.
We are truly blessed to have received the many gifts Sean shared with us on earth. We will miss him more than words can express, but all who knew him will forever carry a piece of sweet Sean in their hearts.
Sean is survived by his parents, Brian F. and Kristine L. Richards (née Kramer); his siblings Conor, Grace and Finn Richards; his grandparents Lawrence and Kathleen Richards (née Naughton) and Patricia Kramer (née Dougan) and many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfather William Kramer and his uncle Michael Richards.

I did not know Sean but I am so very very sorry for your loss. A beautiful child now a beautiful Angel in Heaven. May the wonderful memories of him help sustain you in the days ahead. I can understand the hurt you are feeling. We lost my sister when she was 17 many years ago. I know how hard it was for my parents and pray that faith in God will bring you peace.

On a clear night, when the stars are shining bright, look up, Sean will be there, the brightest star, as he will with the first leaves falling, the first snow flake, the first flowers in spring and a warm breeze on a summer's day.

We learned of the tragic death of your beloved son Sean while listening to Fr. Burke Masters on his daily presentation on the scriptures. Having somehow endured the death of our son some years ago, we can at least partially understand the unspeakable heartache and anguish you are experiencing. As you continue your painful journey without that beautiful boy, may pleasant memories of his brief but extraordinary life eventually - eventually - grant you solace - and give you lasting peace - as you reflect upon his life and love for all of you.
Sincerely, Glenn and Judy Steed
