Sean was a valuable member of the Trelevate Family for over 8 years; unfortunately, we lost him in early 2024. Sean was an incredible father and very proud of his sons Griffin and Braden. He was also blessed to have his long time companion, Melissa, who was a rock and sounding board for Sean. He was a wonderful storyteller and enjoyed sharing tales of their many adventures together with anyone who would listen. Sean’s smile and charisma were infectious, and he made sure everyone around him were taken care of. Not surprising to anyone, Sean was a wonderful and successful salesperson, as well as a skilled leader in operations and leadership.

To honor Sean, Trelevate created The Sean C Effect

S – Smile that is contagious

E – Engagement that is everyday

A – Activity with an Attitude that is transparent

N – No Excuse Mentality; if it’s going be, it’s up to me

C – Commitment to the good of others
