“We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out – and we have only just begun…….And, we are not only figuratively, but literally, stardust.“ – Neil deGrasse Tyson
D. Sean McGowan, 61, of Littleton, Colorado, passed away peacefully on April 18, 2021, at The Denver Hospice, after losing his courageous battle with heart and kidney failure. Sean was a Colorado native. He graduated from the University of Denver, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. He spent the last, nearly 23, years of his career working for the Denver District Court.
Sean was preceded in death by his parents, Edward Thomas and Elizabeth Ann Smith. He is survived by his wife Heidi Lea McGowan, his daughter Arielle Shae McGowan, his son Gabriel Matthew McGowan, and his sister Sharon Elizabeth Hamm (Will).
Sean was very proud of his Irish heritage, and in January of 1995, he decided to revert from Smith, back to McGowan, his family’s original Irish name. Sean loved playing guitar, spending time in nature, and traveling with his wife and children. In the last year or so, the family was just beginning to enjoy spending time together stargazing. Sean had a strong love for the cosmos. Sean and Heidi spent 20+ years performing in musical theatre productions, with the Gotta Dance, Gotta Sing Theatre, eventually being joined by their daughter, and lastly, their son. Spending time with his family meant a great deal to Sean, as did reconnecting with old friends during his last days. He will be dearly missed and always remembered.
Heidi, Arielle, and Gabriel would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they received from so many family members and friends. They feel truly blessed for the many prayers, well wishes, donations, and continued support. May God bless each and every one of you.
