EDMUNDS, Sean Everett James - (April 11, 1992 - August 13, 2020)
It is with great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Sean at his home on August 13, 2020 at the age of 28.
Sean was a loving and precious son of John and Kelly Edmunds, a much-loved friend and brother of Sydney, cherished grandson of Mae (late Arthur) and Howie (late Eleanor).
Sean will forever be remembered and adored by his great-aunts Millie and Jean and by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Sean will be forever missed for his great sense of humour, sharp wit, infectious laugh and generosity.
Sean would always be compelled to fight for the "underdog" and emphatically defend issues and people that were important to him.
His love of Formula One racing will resonate in the hearts and minds and of all who knew him well.
As per the wishes of Sean’s family, a Celebration of Life will take place in the near future.
Arrangements entrusted to THORNTON CEMETERY and FUNERAL CENTRE, 1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, (South of Taunton Road and off of Dryden Blvd, 905-579-6787.
Donations will gratefully be accepted for The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Expressions of condolence may be left at etouch.ca.
When you think of Sean, shout out: “… oh… YAH!! ”
Either aloud or to yourself, because this was his happiest phrase!.
A Letter to my Son:
I loved you before you were born,
You were the light of my life, my whole world.
I cherished the moments we had together.
I shared in your laughter and I cried when you were sad.
I relished in your accomplishments and helped you through your misfortunes.
I learned lessons from you, which otherwise, I would never have thought of.
I admired your strength, your humor and your wit.
You knew all this because I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to tell you. Your laugh, your smile and you strength will stay with me forever.
Your funny sayings and unique anecdotes will perpetually stay in my mind and in my heart.
Today both our lights went dim and all I feel is unbearable sadness and loss.
To never hear your voice, your laugh or your movie quotes again is unbearable.
................
I found this poem on the internet and thought that it suited us to a tee and I want to share it with you:
I WOULD GIVE MY LIFE TO HAVE YOU BACK, SAID HIS MUM.
I KNOW YOU WOULD, SAID HER SON.
I CRY EACH NIGHT FOR YOU, SAID HIS MUM.
AND I CATCH ALL YOUR TEARS, SAID HER SON.
I PRAY FOR THE DAY THAT I CAN SEE YOU AGAIN, SAID HIS MUM.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND YOU CAN SEE ME, SAID HER SON.
YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON WHO LOVED ME AND YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I LOVED.
YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU
AND YOU ALWAYS KNEW WHEN I NEEDED A HUG.
I AM HERE FOR YOU NOW MUM, IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR SOUL.
I DID NOT TAKE YOUR HEART WITH ME INSTEAD, I LEFT MINE WITH YOU TO HOLD.
ONE DAY I WILL TAKE YOUR HAND AND LEAD YOU TO PARADISE,
BUT UNTIL THEN MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER,
WHEN YOU WANT TO SEE ME, YOU ONLY NEED TO CLOSE YOUR EYES.....
I want to let you know I felt your hand on my shoulder last night, and I long for the time until we will be together again, and pick up where we left off.
Stay safe and keep in touch. I’ll be watching for you.
Love, Mom xoxo
