We were so sorry and sad to hear the news about Sean. We didn’t really know him or his immediate family but we do know John and Dianne and we can’t imagine what they’re going through at this time.
My family joins me in sending our love and heartfelt sympathy, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I met Sean in 1999 on the set of Robocop. I’ve worked with him on many shows. I’m gutted. He was a great man, a born leader who loved his craft and gave it his all. He knew how to get things done especially hard tasks. He made you laugh. He showed you a smart way to work. He was loved and respected. I miss him. Now he has gone far too soon. My heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends he left behind.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Sean.
Dianne, John and Family. It’s terrible to hear about your loss and we express our sincere sympathy to you all. May Sean rest in peace.
Dianne,John, Alma Sophia and Family
We are left without words to have this happen so suddenly. Sean’s warm and easy smile will always stay with me.
Our sympathy, prayers and love are with you.

Dear Rourke family,
I am so sorry to hear of Sean’s passing. As kids, Sean was such a gentle soul and good friend to everybody he came into contact with. I’ll always remember recess foot hockey games that lasted 3 weeks, riding bikes around the neighborhood till after dark, and birthday parties in the Rourke basement. Sean was always there, making sure everyone was included and having a good time. It’s not hard to imagine him being the same kind of adult and father. And I’m certain he’s watching us all now with that same happy grin.
Rest in peace, my friend.
Love and prayers,
Roddy Yorke
RIP My Friend ❤️
My condolences to Kelly ,
Mr & Mrs Rourke , Stephanie & Jennifer and to his sweet daughter Alma.
Auntie Di (God Mummy) & Uncle John, Stephanie, Jen & Kelly. There are no words to describe our sorrow. Our hearts weep for you. We will hold you all (and Sean) close to our hearts. We love you!
Dianne, John and family, we were shocked and so very sad to hear about the sudden passing of your beloved son Sean. I only met Sean a few times, a very nice young man. Alma will need the strength of family to surround her in the devastating loss of her father. Remember the good times and in the days ahead find peace.
So sorry to hear about you son’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May God’s presence be with you and comfort you.
Love Elaine Kowalchuk
Diane, John, Alma Sophia and family. I was so sad to hear of Sean’s passing. I have many pleasant memories of our sons in their youth growing up together and forming long lasting friendships.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences and best wishes in this difficult time.
Diane, John, Steph, Jen, Kelly and Alma,
My deepest sympathy.
We don’t know why these things happen? All I can think is that he is needed elsewhere as we know Sean is on his next aventure already, with his lovely gentle manner somewhere else doing good!
Love you Seany-boy I have worn a cap all day in your honor. 🙏❤️
Di, John and family, so very sorry to hear this news.

So sorry to hear about the loss of Sean
I pray you will all find peace in his memories you will have forever
I don’t know what to say. We lost touch. He was a better person than most I’ve known. Loved his parents , sisters and more than anything Alma. Im sorry for those not mentioned ( of whom there are many).
He helped me so much, and I was unable to do that for him. Any family or friends that would like to reach out, my name is Sven…………647 785 9592…..miss him, always will . Again to all family and friends, know that he loved you all, and knew that he was loved by you.
