“So many people in this world are focused on: What's in it for me? Not Officer Sean Gannon. Sean was a giver. His life was defined by his focus on serving and helping others. Sean was taken from us last Thursday in an act of violence that shocked our sensibilities and broke all of our hearts. In his early years, he gave to his community in New Bedford, his classmates at All Saints School, and then his classmates at Bishop Stang High School in North Dartmouth. He gave to his college mates as he prepared for his lifetime goal of becoming a police officer at Westfield State and Mass Maritime Academy. He gave to the communities in preparation of this at Westfield and Nantucket working there as a police officer and began his real career at Stonehill College, working to support and help students there, keeping them safe, and working with one of his mentors and friends, former Police Chief Peter Carnes. He gave as a Big Brother to a young boy through the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program of Cape Cod and the Islands, and that young boy now wants to grow up and be a police officer just like Sean.

He gave to his friends and his second family at the Yarmouth Police Department where he is loved and missed dearly.…”
