Sean Allan Yemen

Sean Allan Yemen, born April 21, 1985, passed away serenely in his sleep on Sunday, November 6 2016. Sean, a 2003 graduate of Saint Anne’s Belfield, a 2008 graduate of Virginia Tech, a 2014 graduate of the University of Virginia’s School of Medicine and a third year resident in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Virginia, was looking forward to completing a fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology. With even greater anticipation, he was to be wed to Mary Howell, whom he so adored, on October 7, 2017. Sean’s fondness for animals extended from hamsters, lab mice and squirrels to deer, horses and frogs. Only, birds, strictly prohibited, escaped some residential period at his parents’ home. Sean’s affinity for automotive tinkering resulted in a continuous stream of vehicles in various stages of disassembly and reassembly. Whether working at the hospital or Master’s Auto Body, Sean’s infectious personality inspirited all. To spend time with Sean was to love him. Sean is survived by his fiancée, Mary; parents, Terry and Gerry; brothers, Cory and Ryan; sister-in-law, Kelley; niece; Kira; his cat, Isabelle Pruzak; and rabbit, Melly. A memorial service will be conducted Friday, November 11, 2016 at 2:00pm, at the University Chapel. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA.
