Sean Patrick Brady

February 12, 2020

PLAINFIELD - Sean Patrick Brady was born on July 25th, 1977 to parents John and Michelle. 
Michelle quite often remarks on the arduous nature of Sean’s birth, as it spanned 
over some few 32 hours in total. Many might say he wasn’t ready to meet the world yet, but we know better. Sean was smart enough to know how cozy it was to be that close to the ones he loved. This was to become what should be considered one of his most amazing existential characteristics. 

Growing up, Sean Loved competing in sports. Baseball, soccer and basketball were his favorites, which he would go on to play in the Killingly and Moosup Little Leagues, the Plainfield and Sterling Recreation Departments, American Legion Baseball and as a student at Sterling Memorial School and Plainfield High. That love of sports was something he would continue into adult life, not just as a spectator, but as a coach to his son Michael and others, and as a competitor in Mixed Martial Arts. He was true to his New England roots and a fan of the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. 

Sean furthered his academics attending Eastern Connecticut State University. In Higher Education Sean became a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. 

His one love greater than sports was his family. He was proud of his Irish American and French Canadian roots. He shared a love with more aunts and uncles and cousins than can be counted. But when it came to brothers, he had only one, Thomas. As the older brother, Sean strove to support and protect his younger brother. He felt a similar responsibility toward his parents. 

In 2008 he married Paula Davis, and gained a family of his own. Sean, Paula, Michael and Zoie became a family. Sean loved being a dad. He loved playing ball with Mikey and attending school events. Being a father was his greatest joy. 

Sean also had a love for animals, especially his many cats over the years. We are sure his latest BFF (Best Feline Friend) Nushie, misses him. 

“They say Irish Eyes can smile. Sean’s deep blue eyes were a window to his soul.” 

Our Sean’s candle flame was one that raged rather than flickered. Even now, in these hours which follow his passing, his warmth can be felt against our cheeks. Even now, amidst the cacophony of emotional waves, we embrace the warmth of his memory. Even now, absorbable is the beauty that is his spirit gazing upon Us. 


Sean was a Brother. He was a Son. He was a loving Husband and adoring Father. Yet, to say that these designations could ever amass to adequately capture the True, often times cloaked, essence that was Sean, would levy an injustice to Humanity. May the entirety of his legacy and subsequent message never be forgotten... 

Sean joins his grandparents, Paul and Gloria Bessenaire and John and Shirley Brady, Uncles Wayne Bagley and Ira Nadler, and his cousin Keith Brady, in heaven. He is survived by his wife Paula Davis and children Micheal and Zoie Castillo of Plainfield; his parents John and Michelle Brady and brother Thomas Brady of Sterling, and his nephew Elijah Brady and sister-in-law Lydia Brady of Moosup; as well there are many, many close aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends of Bill.
