Distraught over Sean’s passing is also his sister Chantal Michieli, who wanted to remember her brother on social media: “My big brother, there are no words big enough to contain all the pain I carry inside. You were much more than a brother to me – she wrote -. I hope you always knew how much I love you, even in all those times when I couldn’t tell you enough. I will miss you in the biggest things, but especially in the smallest ones. I would give anything to have one more minute with you. There are bonds that not even death can break, and ours will forever be one of those. I will carry you with me wherever I go, as long as I am here, there will always be a part of you in this world. I love you, my big brother.”
