He spent the last 51 days in the Neurology Critical Care Unit (NCCU, 6th Floor) at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and was fortunate to have an awesome staff of nurses and doctors who helped him try to win the biggest fight of his life.  Sean is survived by his mother & step-father – Donna & Richard Irish, father & step-mother John & Karen Early, brother John Early, Jr, sister Dana Early,and step siblings Christopher Irish, Jessica & Gary Medvidovich, Melissa & David Stanley, Michael & Sara Spinnato, grandfather William Early, grandmother Rosalie Paulus and many relatives.

He became a Journeyman Ironworker in 2013 with Local 16. Just about a year ago he made a transition to Construction Inspector for WRA working with the State Highway Administration.  Sean’s passion for anything on wheels started young when he rode skateboards. He enjoyed BMX bike riding with his friends and often traveled out of state to ride at different parks and courses. Since he’s been old enough to drive it’s been the VW for him, from racing at the track on weekends to repairing them as a second career. Just prior to Sean’s illness he ventured into business life with best friend Rick Blair starting their own business, S&R Customs. They felt saving people a few dollars and making a few dollars doing what they loved to do was very rewarding.The family will receive friends at the Connelly Funeral Home of Dundalk, 7110 Sollers Point Rd. on Saturday September 23rd from 3-5 & 7-9pm.
