In Loving Memory of Sean Egan ’21
A Teammate, a Friend, a Light That Will Forever Shine
It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Sean Egan ’21, a beloved member of our community, a proud 2021 graduate, and a standout member of our swim team. Sean was more than just a talented athlete — he was a vibrant soul whose energy, kindness, and unwavering positivity left an enduring impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
From the first moment Sean stepped onto the pool deck, it was clear he brought more than speed and strength — he brought heart. His dedication to the sport was matched only by the deep camaraderie he cultivated with teammates and coaches. Whether pushing through grueling sets or cheering others on from the sidelines, Sean embodied what it meant to be a team player: humble in victory, gracious in defeat, and always encouraging others to rise to their best.
But Sean’s impact extended far beyond the water. He was the kind of person who lit up a room with his laughter, made friends feel seen and valued, and reminded us all to appreciate life’s small, beautiful moments. He was a confidant to many, a source of joy, and a steady, compassionate presence. His spirit radiated through quiet conversations, spontaneous adventures, and every heartfelt gesture he extended without expectation.
Those who knew Sean remember him not only for his accomplishments, but for his depth of character. He approached life with a quiet strength, an infectious optimism, and a sense of empathy that made him deeply loved. Sean had a gift for lifting others — for being the calm in the chaos, the first to offer help, and the last to ever ask for it. He lived fully, loved deeply, and gave generously.
His loss is immeasurable. For his family, his friends, his teammates, and everyone whose lives were touched by his light, the absence left behind is profound. As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also hold tightly to the memories that will continue to bring comfort and connection: the echo of his laughter, the ripple of his encouragement, the warmth of his smile.
A celebration of Sean’s life will be announced in the coming days, and we welcome all who knew and loved him to gather in remembrance. In honoring him, let us carry forward the values he lived by — kindness, perseverance, joy, and love.
To Sean’s family, we extend our deepest condolences. We mourn with you, stand with you, and lift you up in this time of heartbreak.
Though Sean’s time with us was far too short, his legacy endures — in the lives he touched, the hearts he healed, and the strength he inspired in all of us.
Rest easy, Sean. Your lane may be empty, but your spirit will forever swim beside us.
