He is survived by his wife, Anna Lamprey of Canton; his parents, Paul (Judith) Lamprey of Rome; his sister, Karla Quick of Rome; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mark (Mary Jane) Banks of Canton; his brother-in-law, Will Banks of Marietta; his aunt and uncle, Roger (Lisa) Nash of Rome; his aunt and uncle Francis (Mary) Lamprey of Orland, Florida; his aunt Jeanette Nash of Tenstrike, Minnesota; his cousins Graham (Casey) Nash of Rome; Drew (Tonya) Nash of Rome; Jessica (Michael) Murphy of Rome; Cody Nash of Tenstrike, Minnesota; and Kortney (Matthew) Jorgensen of Clearbrook, Minnesota, along with many extended family members and friends.
Sean was a graduate of Rome High School and the University of Georgia. He was passionate about following his favorite sports teams, especially the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, and the Georgia Bulldogs.
He had the ability to light up a room with his quick wit and smile. Sean bravely fought through 16 years of fighting brain cancer-three surgeries, two biopsies, rounds of radiation and chemo. Through it all, he kept a smile on his face and never questioned “why him.”
He was always upbeat and positive, no matter how bad he might have felt. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Southeastern Brain Tumor Foundation, University of Alabama-Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Program or the Orr Brain Tumor Fund at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.
The caring staff of Darby Funeral Home is in charge of these arrangements.
