Sean Robert Treloar

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our beautiful boy Sean. Our loss is shared by so many who care and we

appreciate those who loved Sean so dearly.

Sean has walked up a stairwell to heaven to watch over and guide the hands of his parents Bill Treloar and Darlana Tilley-Treloar. The love we all share with Sean is something irreplaceable and the memories we shared with him will never be far from our reach. Sean had a gentle, caring, humourous and loving heart. Words willnever describe and express how big his heart truly was.

All who knew Sean knew he had so much love to give and he had so much given in return. Sean leaves behind his brother Kyle and baby sister Courtney; he loved them and they loved him back unconditionally. He also leaves behind his loving grandparents Brian and Lillian Tilley, Lorreen Treloar and her partner Al, his uncle Dwayne, auntie Allison, auntie Janice, cousins and many more loving relatives.

Sean left a big footprint in our hearts and we will always cherish his smile, his warm laugh, and his beautifully loving

heart. Your baby Douey and sister Skee will miss you very much.

I’ll love you forever,

I’ll like you for always,

as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.

A celebration of life will be held at Cranberry Seniors’ Centre on Saturday, May 21 at 1 pm.
