Peacefully at home in the wonderful care of his family.
Predeceased by his beloved mother Marie (née Duggan) and his devoted father John Burke.
Seán will be remembered with immense love and forever cherished by his adored wife and best friend, Maureen (née Tonra); his heartbroken children Elaine (Enda McKeon),
Karen (Paul McGuinness) and Shaun (Marie O’Grady).
His greatest joy in life was his treasured grandchildren – James, David, Cillian, Kate, Darragh, Emma and Seanie, each of whom held a special place in his heart.
Deeply mourned by his brothers Patsy (Mary, Balla), Greg (Lena, Crossmolina) and Jarlath (Mary, Caherlistrane); his beloved sister Bonnie (David McMonagle, Castlebar);
his wonderful sister-in-law Rosaleen (Tom Basquille, Drumganagh); his nephews, nieces, godchildren, extended family and magnificent neighbours.
He was proud to spend over thirty years working shoulder to shoulder with lifelong colleagues, whose friendship and camaraderie meant as much to him as the work itself
and the many dear friends whose lives he touched with his kindness, wisdom and gentle nature.
