Pampreen, Sean
On March 24, 2022, Dr. Sean Michael Pampreen joined his parents and oldest sister in heaven. His family on earth is devastated by this loss, but we know that Sean met death without fear- and that he put up a heck of a fight. Sean was
a native of Detroit, MI, and, while he loved the life that he built in Connecticut, he told everyone that he was just a temporary visitor- living in Marlborough from 1999 until 2022.
Sean was a lively child and a reluctant student who proved his guidance counselor wrong by getting accepted to every college that he applied to and then earning a doctorate in veterinary medicine. He claimed
to have never read a book, but excelled in all of his academic adventures- and then made fun of his wife's and children's "public school education" every chance that he had.
He was a gifted veterinarian, always excited to learn more and to treat any animal that wouldn't eat him (and a few who would have tried), but he tried hard to be sure that his paid work didn't cut too much into his volunteer work with the BSA. Sean was a proud Eagle Scout and spent countless hours encouraging young men and women who wanted to learn how to do their best for God and country.
While he loved his work in veterinary medicine and in Scouting, his true passion was his family. He dragged 5 kids and his adoring wife along on every hiking trail and geocaching hunt that he could fit into his scheduleand made it up to them by attending every meet, match, show, and game that he could get to. Sean loved to tell friends, staff, and clients all about his family's accomplishments, and whenever we met someone, we found that they already knew a whole lot about us. Sean is survived by his wife Shelly, his children Michael and his fiancee Saja, Steven, and Caitlin; his stepchildren Anna and Jimmy; his brother Jerry and sisters Nikki and Becky; and aunts, uncles, and cousins. Many of us joined Sean at his happy place in Florida during the month of March. Sean always felt that it was sad when families only gathered after a loved one's death, and asked that we all come enjoy the sun with him. We were joined by his in-laws who loved him as their own, and friends who had become family over the years. We welcome everyone to join us in celebrating Sean's life with a mass at St. John Fisher Church at 30 Jones Hollow Road in Marlborough, CT on Saturday, July 9th at 12:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting St. John Fisher Church (stjfisherchurch.org), Tidewell Hospice in Arcadia, Florida (TidewellFoundation.org), or the Scouts BSA (scouting.org). But most importantly, in Sean's memory, please go out and enjoy every moment of time with your family (and your pets!)- go on all of the adventures, eat all of the food, and never, ever be afraid to try something new.
