Sean Thomas Breen, Jr., 20, of Ridgefield, passed away on Tuesday, February 15, 2022. He was born in Ridgefield, CT to Sean and Caroline Breen, and beloved brother of Cole and Katherine Breen, and cherished grandson of Jane and Ken Breen, and Bonnie and Joe Fenton.
Sean (SJ) touched the lives of countless friends, teammates, relatives near and far, and any stranger in need. He cherished the friendships he made throughout his academic career at the Ridgefield Public Schools, his beloved Wooster School, from which he graduated in 2020, The Harvey School, and Clemson University.
SJ was the consummate football teammate throughout his career with Ridgefield Youth Football and most notably, on the Wooster-Harvey football team where he was team captain, offensive and defensive starter, named lineman of the year, and well known for his sportsmanship. The game of football also gave SJ the gift of his special friends Dasha Batista and Braden Langis.
SJ had an infectious smile that lit up any room he found himself in and his kindness knew no bounds. He was a humble, fun-loving, goofy, intelligent, and caring soul who always tried to make things right in the world. Although Sean’s sudden passing has left a hole in the hearts of his family and friends, his kindness, sense of humor and joy for life will continue to shape the lives of all those who were blessed to know him.
