I had the pleasure of working with Sean for several years. Every time I made it over to the building he worked I hoped to catch him. He always gave such a warm welcome! He was fun and easy to be around. Always one to share a laugh. The folks he worked with in Allegan thought the world of him. They were lucky to have him around and I know he would say the same about them. I'm feeling very fortunate to have crossed paths with Sean. So much love to Leslie, Rayne, and all of those that loved him so much.

We are heartbroken to lose our youngest child. We are so proud of the way he handled his diagnosis. The courage he showed despite the pain and ups and downs of his journey. At times angry and frustrated he never lost his Faith or blamed God. Your physical presence is gone but your remarkable Spirit will be with us forever. Love, Mom and Dad.

Heartfelt condolences to the Maitner family at this sad time. We remember Sean with fondness; Holy Name of Jesus was our home away from home then. May our Lord grant him the rest and relaxation he courageously earned during his long earthly battle.
Kind regards,
