Sean Russell Tillotson

I was blessed with meeting and getting to know Sean when we were both in AZ a couple of years ago. It was a difficult time made easier by his presence and light. He was committed and determined. He loved big and felt deeply. He was so funny ("get real") but also knew when to be serious. He was a leader among us. And smart...so incredibly smart. A talented artist, tech guru, athlete, great dancer and amazing friend. I'll never forget when we were hiking a mountain one morning and learned of his fear of heights. Several of us surrounded him while we walked back down so he wasn't looking at the edge. Of course, I gave him a super hard time about it but he took it all in stride and laughed with us along the way. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I know when I look up into the heavens at night, his star will be shining most bright just as it did on earth. He made an imprint on my heart and life and I will never ever forget him. A beautiful man gone way too soon. Rest in peace, Sean. Much love forever and always.

I was blessed with meeting and getting to know Sean a couple of years ago when we were both in AZ. It was a difficult time made easier by his presence and light. He was committed and determined. He was so funny but also knew when to be serious. He was a leader among us. He was also crazy smart, an amazing artist, tech guru, athlete, great dancer and amazing friend. He made an imprint on my heart and life in a very short amount of time and I will never ever forget him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I know when I look to the heavens, his star will be shining most bright as it did on earth. An amazing man and beautiful soul gone way too soon. ❤️

I had the opportunity to talk to Sean a few times this year. I took over the Tech department and as part of that move Sean's team was moved under me. He was thoughtful about his work and in technology there are always security concerns. One night he called me out of the blue on my mobile because he was concerned about a specific error message he was seeing. In the end, it turned out to be nothing but I really appreciated his diligence and double checking that there was no issue. That night we connected, he told me he was excited about the work he was taking on and really enjoyed his team at Unite Us. Sean was such a great teammate and good human. I will miss having him on our team and in our lives. Matt

I had the great pleasure of working with Sean at Unite Us. We were not on the same team but thanks to Sean's curiosity and drive to continuously improve the engineering department I got to interact with him on small and large initiatives. Sean was a true talent and a thoughtful collaborator who had a knack for bringing good humor at just the right time. I am grateful to have known Sean and will hold his memory dear. Sending my deepest sympathy to Sean's family.

I only worked with Sean on a single project at work. It wasn't assigned to him; it was just something he took on to improve a workflow for everyone else. Over the course of the few short weeks that we worked together, it was clear that he enjoyed learning and solving problems as much as he enjoyed helping people. I was struck by how friendly and sweet-natured he was. I hope he knew that he was appreciated and that he will be missed, even by those that were not fortunate enough to have a chance to spend more time with him. Pew, pew, Sean. 💔
