SEAN CONOR KILBANE, age 39, beloved son of Christine A. Pierce and Timothy F. Kilbane (deceased); partner of Gina Matteucci.  Cherished brother and brother-in-law of Mary Bridgett Holzheimer (Will), Colleen Schuler (Todd), Brian Kilbane, and Sheila Carbullido (Adam).   Loving and fun uncle to Maryclare, Ella, and Sean Holzheimer; Liam and Cecilia Schuler; Delaney and Tommy Kilbane; and Ryan and Conor Carbullido.  Adored grandson of the late Arthur (Sarge) and Wanda Pagel.  Nephew of many including Dennis and Christine Pagel and Susan Gallagher (deceased), dear cousin, and friend to all.  Sean graduated in 2004 from North Olmsted High School where he met many of his lifelong friends, adding to those he also had from St. Mark's Grade School.  He graduated from Pennsylvania Culinary Institute which led to sous chef positions at the Terrace Club, Baricelli Inn, Willeyville, Flour, and Stonewater Golf Club.  Sean was a talented chef but decided to seek a career with normal working hours so he could enjoy time with family and friends.   Sean had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone.  He was smart, funny, respectful, loyal, and handsome.   Our family is devastated by the loss of our Sean and cannot imagine a world without him.   We were privileged to have this beautiful soul in our lives for 39 short years.  Our fervent prayer is that God has reunited Sean with Sarge and Grandma, who shared a very special bond with him.  May God hold Sean lovingly in the palm of His Hands until we all meet again.  We love you, Seanie.  We will always carry you in our hearts.  Passed away unexpectedly May 11, 2025.  Funeral Mass Friday, May 16, Our Lady of Angels Church (3644 Rocky River Dr.) at 11 A.M.  Friends may call at CHAMBERS FUNERAL HOME of CLEVELAND, 4420 ROCKY RIVER DR.
