Sean James O’Shea
Sean James O’Shea passed away suddenly at his Durham, NC home, on April 12, 2019.
The son of Daniel and Claire O’Shea of Milton, MA, he was brother to Brenda, Brian, Sheila and Patrick. Sean graduated Milton High School, attained a B.S. degree in Economics at University of Massachusetts, and a Master of Library Science from the University of South Florida. He created a consumer economics program “Dollars and sense”, which was well received by the Durham County library system.
An avid sports fan, his heart was broken when the ball went through Buckner’s legs. He loved the Celtics and enjoyed being a Patriots fan while living in the South. Sean had a passion for music, particular jazz and blues, and loved ancient Irish folklore. He had a curious mind, was an avid researcher and a talented writer.
He will be missed by his family, including numerous cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as his co-workers at the Centre for Homeownership in Hillsboro, NC.
A graveside service will be held at Milton Cemetery, 211 Centre Street, Milton, May 4 at 11:30 AM. Please meet at the main gate.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sean’s siblings and family members. I remember the PB&J sandwiches Sean made for the gang that spent the night on the beach at Sebago, what a fun night and thanks to Sean for filling our bellies. You will be greatly missed.
My heart is broken, I will miss you Cousin Sean and all the Thanksgivings together, the talks we had on Long Beach, and the fun we always had when the cousins were together. RIP Sean, we now have another guardian angel looking over us.
Rest in the arms of the angels my dear friend.
I will treasure the unbreakable bond which we created over the past 5 years.
You were the brightest, most curious and funny person Ive known.
I thank you for all that you brought to my life
Till we meet again
With love always
