I remember Sean a beautiful little boy whom I often looked after when I visited my sister Peggy in pinner. Then as an adult we shared some wine together and chats when he visited Ireland. He had a lovly quiet disposition. May he now rest in peace. Aunty Anne.

It was a midweek night when a few of us were in Royal Oak trying to form a Sunday football side. We were short of (decent) players and I mentioned I played at college with a really good player and a great guy and his name was Sean Reeves. Bizarrely standing at the bar at that very moment was you, Sean….and that was the day you entered our friendship group. Sean was genuinely one of life’s good guys. He was generous, kind hearted and all round decent person. You will be sorely missed by all who knew you. Rest in peace my friend

Every time i have thought of you, it has always made me smile, the laughs the laid back attitude, the stupid vodka games you taught us with cards stuck to our forehead's, such joy you bought to so many, oh and the mad frisby day on the beach!!! nothing ever phased you, and you will always have a place in many of our hearts xxx

Memories to treasure, strength to admire. For a life too short, you have left a huge impression on so many others. Thank you Reevsy.

Sean, thank you for a cherished collection of happy memories and laugh out loud moments. I will never forget you. Claire x

Sean was a wonderful friend for over 25 years, kind, thoughtful and great company! He was never bitter about what was happening to him, and only thought of others, the last time I saw him in August he wished me well and said he was very happy for me on my up coming relocation to Eastbourne! He will be greatly missed and will always have a place in my heart, RIP my friend. x x x

Sean, a lovely man. Fun and laughter, such fond memories for so many years. Fiona & Frank and Jackie. XXX.

Sadly, it seems that this moment has been walking towards us for quite some time. I’d always hoped that if asked to reflect on our friendship that I’d have well thought out and poignant thoughts and memories to eloquently express. But what I’ve realised is that to me, it just comes down to these two simple things; Sean was a nice guy, one of the good guys and that he lived his life as he wanted. I think the number of his friends, most of whom have known him for 30 years or more show this perfectly. People talk of soundtracks of their lives and to me and I know to a lot of people, Sean was a constant at many of the most precious moments we look back upon. And during all this time I’ve never heard a bad word spoken. Whether he was making a few bob at the turn of a card or slicing his drive so far left, only to see it return to the safety of the fairway. We raise our eyes, shake the head and even give a resigned sigh, but always with a recognition that he was good, very good at most of the things he took on. And the list seems endless, golf, football, tennis, pool, canasta, even connect 4, (who knew right)……. however, give him a flat packed chest of drawers and a spanner, or even a glass of tomato juice, well that was a different story, and usually very funny ……… To me Sean lived his life on his terms. He worked in an industry he absolutely loved. There was barely a sporting event or function that, it seemed to me, he didn’t have an encyclopaedic knowledge of or certainly an opinion on. This it has to be said, was often accompanied with a small glass of Chablis. He loved his family and his friends. That was a given. Generous and warm hearted, another given. But in the last few years to me what did shine through, despite the situation, was that he didn’t complain. Obvious exceptions are when his horses came second, which in fairness seemed to happen a lot, but the words ‘uncomplaining, stoic, strong and brave' I heard often and are all perfectly apt. To me, for nearly 50 years, he has just been a nice guy and a very good friend. Rest in peace buddy, I will miss you. Pete

The person who called for the huddle , who led the team talk , who considered what the algorithm would do, who tracked the odds and was always ahead of the crowd. From Sean we learned that risks were better thought of as opportunities and his life experiences showed us in multiples : full of travel , memorable moments and wondrous occasions that I was very fortunate enough to be with him for just a mere some. Simply privileged to have known you my dearest friend. We loved you.

Your stay was all too brief but the footprints you have left on our hearts and minds will never fade. Love you mate. Ade

The strength, determination and dignity with which you handled recent challenges were typical of your character. I miss your friendship already matey but I know you are in a better place now (and probably causing havoc there!!!!). The Bridge won’t be the same without your critical eye on the game. RIP Reevsy and sleep well my friend

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Sean. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
