It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Sean L. Harper, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Sean departed this world on May 18, 2026, at the age of 45, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, warmth, and unwavering dedication to family. Born on June 27, 1980, in Columbus, Ohio, Sean's journey was defined by his roots and his enduring love for those around him. Sean was the beloved son of Eugina and Sherwood Harper, who predeceased him but whose values and spirit lived on through his own life and actions. Raised in a home filled with love and guidance, Sean learned early the importance of family, a lesson he carried with him throughout his lifetime. He was also predeceased by his brothers, Todd Clark, Alfie Harper, and Greg Harper, with whom he shared countless childhood memories and adventures. Sean's greatest pride and joy were his children. Together with his devoted wife, Keyona Hutchings, Sean spent 24 beautiful years nurturing and raising their eight children: Jeremie Perry, Antwoine Harper, Deseana Harper-Hale, Dejer Hutchings, Macion Nolen, Cj Hutchings, Hunter Hutchings, and Sean Jr. His love for them was boundless, as was his dedication to ensuring they grew up in a home filled with laughter, learning, and love. Sean's legacy continues through his five grandchildren, who brought him immense joy and pride. Throughout his life, Sean was a beacon of strength and compassion, traits that endeared him to everyone he met. His kindness knew no bounds, and he was always ready to offer a helping hand or a listening ear. Whether through his professional endeavors or personal interactions, Sean left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him. A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Sean's life, reflecting his personal wish for a simple yet heartfelt farewell. In lieu of public gatherings, the family asks for thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time, celebrating Sean's life in the way he would have wanted—with dignity and grace. Though our hearts are heavy, Sean's spirit remains a guiding light for all who knew him. His laughter, wisdom, and love will forever be etched in our memories, reminding us of the beautiful life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind. In loving memory of Sean L. Harper, we bid farewell to a remarkable man and celebrate a life well-lived. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love of those who went before him and the eternal gratitude of those he left behind.
