Sean McNeill Obituary

Sean Brady McNeill passed away on February 17, 2026, in Vail, Colorado.

Born on February 14, 1979, Sean was a proud graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics through the Leeds School of Business. Intelligent, analytical, and endlessly curious, Sean had a mind that loved solving problems and understanding how things worked.

Sean lived a full and vibrant life as a son, father, brother, husband, and friend. Above all, he loved being a dad. His children were the center of his world, and he took great pride in sharing life’s adventures with them. He was kind, caring, and deeply loving, always willing to help, support, and show up for the people he cared about.

He felt most at home in the outdoors. An avid snowboarder, Sean loved the mountains, fresh air, and the freedom they brought. Whether on a mountain, traveling somewhere new, or working on a project at home, he had a natural gift for working with his hands and could truly build or fix just about anything. He also had a deep love of music and cooking, especially cooking for others. Bringing people together around a meal was one of the many ways he showed care, generosity, and connection.

Sean will be remembered for his adventurous spirit, his sharp mind, his loving heart, and the lasting impact he had on those around him.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
