Sean Michael Sullivan, age 36, of Wayne, passed at home on Monday, June 13, 2016.

He was born in Hackensack and raised in Elmwood Park and attended Saint Leo’s School until 5th grade when the family moved to Wayne in 1988. Sean graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the Class of 1997.

As a young man he worked with his dad for a few years at the Willowbrook Golf Center in Wayne until he found work in the food service industry. Sean loved to cook and worked for a time at the Lonestar Steak House and Cheesecake Factory and several other eateries in the Wayne area. Sean worked side by side his brother in law and best friend, at Quinn Plumbing & Heating. Up until recently, he began working as a machinist for the GTC-Kinetics in Fairfield. He was dedicated in excelling in his counseling course work and expected to graduate this Fall.

Sean will be remembered for being a thoughtful, caring person with a huge generous heart. He had a passion for cooking and was relaxed and in his groove while in the kitchen. He would make meals at home that he would elegantly plate, display, photograph, and upload to Facebook before you were allowed to eat. He won the hearts of many with pictures of his creations and even more once they actually tried his cooking. He was a loyal friend, sincere listener, confidant who loved nutrition and going to the gym. Sean also enjoyed travel, especially Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, and was looking forward to an upcoming cruise. In the last two years he found true love in his niece Riley. She would cuddle in close to him and pat him on the back. She felt great comfort in his arms and her trust and love melted his heart. Sean always looked out for his sister, Danielle, and she always looked out for her big brother each sharing warmth, loyalty and trust.

Sean was the loving son of John and Marguerite (Capouet) Sullivan; devoted brother of Danielle Quinn and her husband Nicholas of Ridgefield Park; cherished uncle of Riley Quinn; and much loved grandson of Charles Capouet and John Sullivan both of Elmwood Park.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, PO Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148-0142 would be appreciated.
