Sean Bernard Deering

July 28, 1996 ~ July 16, 2020

Sean, beloved son of William and Kathleen Deering, brother of Liam and Maura, left us suddenly and unexpectedly on July 16, 2020. Sean was born in Norwich, NY. He spent his school years in Greene, NY, before moving with his family to Nashville, NC. He was a student at East Carolina University. He was the family handyman and he loved motorcycling, hiking, and kayaking. No one loved spending time with their family more than Sean did; and there was nothing his family loved more than spending time with Sean. He had been battling very challenging health issues and medical conditions throughout his life. Sean was not just our son, brother, nephew, and cousin; he was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. May he now Rest in Peace. A visitation will be held on Thursday, July 23, 2020 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Johnson Funeral Home. If you wish to make a donation in Sean's memory, we recommend donating to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) (www.foodallergy.org/donate).

  6. Dear San, Kathleen, Bill, Liam and Maura, Jeanelle and I are praying for all five of you in this most painful moment. We wish to be there with you, just to stand with you and let you know how close we feel to all of you right now. Dear San, I cherish the memory with you, Liam and Maura at the Wizards game. I had noticed that very subtle smile of yours, the gentle and truthful kind. It had struck me how much you three were enjoying each other’s presence and secretly wished I could do the same with my siblings one day. I am sure you will be right there on Liam and Maura’s side now more than ever on their paths. Please protect your dad and mum, who has been an inspiration for us. Rest in peace.

  10. The Deering Family, I am heartbroken over the sudden and tragic loss of your son & brother. Though I did not have the fortune of meeting Sean, I know from the way Maura speaks of him that he is a special person and a beautiful soul. Maura, you are the most kind, loving, and genuinely wonderful person I know. You are a light in this world, making the lives of those around you brighter. I am truly lucky to call you a friend. Judging from how much you love him, I know Sean must have been the same. I cannot imagine the pain he was in, nor the grief your family feels now. I only can hope and pray that time will dull the sharpness of sorrow for your family. Please accept my deepest condolences, thoughts, prayers and love. Sincerely, Kristen Sandmeier
