Sean Simone Obituary

On Saturday, June 8, 2019, Sean Stefano Simone, entered glory and is now safe and free in the arms of Jesus and in the very presence of God Almighty. He lived a life full of passion for all of his 30 years, even as a child. Sean is survived by his loving parents, Martin J. Simone, Jr. and Laura Kiley Simone; sister, Amanda Marie Simone; brother, Martin J. Simone, III "Trey"; maternal grandparents, William Roycroft and Norma Lucero Roycroft; paternal grandmother, Billie P. Busch; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Robert Blaise Kiley and paternal grandparents, Martin J. Simone, Sr. and Jeanne Faucheux Simone. As a student at LSU, in 2009, Sean founded SeNSE, which was a forum for entrepreneurs who could pitch ideas for new business start-ups, which was a particular passion of Sean. Sean was also a founder of Yellow Jacket, a smart phone stun-gun case. In 8th grade, Sean led the family to Disney World where he and two classmates were among 10 semi-finalists for the Christopher Columbus Award (initiated by President George W. Bush to encourage youthful discovery of concepts and ideas for new products). Their Walk 'n Rest placed 2nd in the United States. Sean had also obtained his real estate license in 2017. He was always seeking a new adventure! Even greater than his accomplishments is the legacy he leaves. We have heard story upon story of how Sean was a positive influence on his many, many friends. Sean was a member of Church of the King in Mandeville, LA. His faith in God was primary, but he also held an unwavering belief in all those he knew, always providing support of their worthy pursuits and was a continual source of encouragement. His friends were his source of life on this earth. Sean's family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at Louisiana Adult and Teen Challenge in Lafayette, LA and Mount Grace in Dodson, LA, who played a major role in Sean's battle with addiction over this last year. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral service at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Friday, June 14, 2019 at 1:00PM. A visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 10:00AM. Interment will follow at Metairie Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Sean's memory to Louisiana Adult and Teen Challenge, www.louisianateenchallenge.com.

Sean, you were such an Inspiring and motivating friend to me and my family and it brings me some peace that you are now with your Savior. You exuded positivity wherever you were and you had such an amazing gift to make everyone around you feel special. You were like an older brother/ uncle to my girls and they enjoyed your company thoroughly. You watched over Brandon like he was your younger brother, not just a cousin. God definitely played a part with us catching up in SF 3 years ago.. since then I've gotten to know the real Sean and we became fast friends though I've known you since you were a toddler. You have been there for me to make me laugh, taught me to love myself again and also the importance of Jesus' presence in my life. I will try and focus on all the great memories we had together; Whether it was working together on my landscaping projects, working out together or just chilling with a movie. ( oh and dancing!) I know you will be watching over us. Until we meet again Sean... We love you.

This is such sad news. It just breaks my heart. I met Sean when he was an LSU student. He helped me with my real estate website and seo. I was so impressed with him and he did such a wonderful job. My heart goes out to Sean and his entire family. Addiction is horrible and knows no boundaries. Unfortunately, I know first hand how it is to lose your son to this demon. I will be praying for your family.

Marty and Laura I am so sorry for the loss of your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank God we have his promise, to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort in your time of sorrow. We know that it is not a good bye but see you later. He is now looking into the face of his Savior Jesus. He now has a new glorified body completely whole.
