Sean was born at Lynn Union Hospital on January 12, 1968. He was the son of the late Arthur and Carol (Fraser) Kilroy and the brother of the late Colleen Tara Kilroy.

Sean graduated Lynnfield High School in 1986, then followed his dream of a career in Law Enforcement beginning with the Middleton House of Correction.

He then was employed by the Lynnfield Police Department as a Police Officer for 25 years and retired in January 2019.

Sean is remembered for his quick wit and ability to make others laugh. He also remembered for his dedication to the families and the community of Lynnfield, for who he always went above and beyond.

He enjoyed taking long drives, loved to spending time in Maine, and on the beach being with his sons that were his pride and joy.

Sean is survived by his sons: Aidan Kilroy, Sean Kilroy Jr, Nicholas Kilroy, Mitchell Rodriguez, and their mother Bethany Dixon, of Gloucester Massachusetts.
