It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sean Arturo Morrison Clark, a beloved 14-year-old whose bright spirit and remarkable talents left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Sean was born on May 13, 2010, and returned to the Lord August 25, 2024.
Sean was a vibrant and joyful young man whose presence brought joy to his family, friends, and community. His life, though tragically short, was filled with extraordinary achievements and heartfelt connections that will be cherished forever.
Sean excelled in school, getting top grades, and was enrolled in high school honors classes. He also excelled at multiple sports, demonstrating exceptional talent and dedication in baseball, jiu-jitsu, boxing, and his true passion, football. His athletic abilities were evident to all who watched him compete. Sean approached every challenge with determination and grace. His coaches and teammates admired his work ethic and his ability to inspire others to strive for greatness.
Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Sean was known for many passions. He loved scary movies and all things Halloween. He loved time at the lake and riding his Sea-Doo. Sean had a remarkable sense of humor, loved good home-cooked meals, and found joy playing video games with his friends. Sean did everything with discipline and drive, qualities that were evident in every aspect of his life. His friends often joined him in his endeavors, finding motivation in his energy and enthusiasm.
At the heart of Sean’s life was his family. He was blessed with the most amazing parents, John and Isa, who supported him in every endeavor and loved him unconditionally. Their guidance, love, and encouragement were the foundation upon which Sean built his incredible life. He was also a devoted and loving brother to Tré, whom he looked up to and strived to be like. The two shared countless adventures, laughs, and memories that will be treasured forever. The bond they shared was one of the purest forms of love, and it will remain unbroken despite his untimely passing.
Sean was a cherished friend to many. His kindness, loyalty, and unwavering support made him the most special friend. He had a unique ability to make others feel valued and understood, and his friends knew they could always count on him. His big bear hugs, infectious smile and generous spirit made every moment spent with him memorable. The bonds he formed will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
The family wishes to thank each and every person who played an important part in Sean’s life. From the countless friends and classmates, to the many coaches and teammates, to staff and teachers and mentors. They also want to say a special thank you to all of the parents who opened their homes and hearts to Sean at any number of sleepovers.
Sean’s light may have been extinguished too soon, but his legacy will continue to shine brightly in the lives of all who knew him. He touched the hearts of many with his extraordinary talents, boundless energy, and genuine kindness. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will live on in the memories we hold dear. The impact he made in his 14 years is immeasurable, and he will be missed more than words can express. Rest in peace, Sean. You will always be remembered and forever loved.
