Support Sean's Family in Their Time of Grief

I cannot even begin to understand this as I write this message We are devastated, heartbroken and experiencing the most surreal tragedy of our lives. Our 19-year-old son passed away unexpectedly last night, a nightmare for any mother and father to have to go through. He was amazing - a bright, caring, loving, honest, helpful, funny and dedicated son. When he was going through his senior year at St. Joe's in Montvale, I had pain in my hips - every morning he helped dress me and put on my socks and shoes. When I finally had my hips replaced, he helped me through my recovery, dressing me, and putting on my compression socks and waiting on me hand and foot. He was always the first to jump to help anyone he knew. He loved his brothers with every ounce of his being, they are best friends. He graduated from St. Joe's in June 2023 and wrestled and played football there following in his brother's footsteps. This was the beginning of his life after high school, he wanted so badly to be a mechanic and attend UTI but he wanted to work first. He was just getting his feet planted as he started a new job at Park Ave Acura and was loving every minute of it, training to be mechanic, he started as an apprentice. He loved working on cars, taking things apart, figuring out how to fix them and helping other people by fixing their cars for them.

This is so overwhelming for our family, something so unexpected and we were not prepared for this. Financially we were not prepared either, I cannot understand why this happened to him, but we need to give him a proper burial. It is with a humble heart, with love for our Baby boy Sean Thornton-Francis Sidle, with God in our hearts and sadness beyond imagination that I ask for any help that anyone can give us. We have always, as a family tried to help those around us, in any way we could've. It is not easy for me to write this and outstretch my hand, but I pray that God will provide through my friends and family during this very difficult time.

Please, anything you can do will help us.

Thank you so much!

We love you and appreciate you all in our lives.

God hold you tightly Sean, we miss and love you so very much!
