Sean Givan Obituary
Givan, Sean
With sorrow, the family of Sean Robinson Givan announce his passing on July 13th, 2024 at Fredericton Junction, NB. He was 50 years old.
Sean graduated from Nackawic High School and attended UNB in Fredericton where he received a Bachelor of Computer Science degree. He was employed at Service New Brunswick as a Systems Analyst in Application Services.
Sean was interested in computers, gaming and programming from childhood, long before the internet was even public, and in a time when our Texas Instruments home computer seemed like nothing more than a fancy typewriter to the rest of the family. Sean’s best-Christmas-gift ever was easily the Atari 2600. Games like Asteroids and Pitfall ignited a life-long interest for Sean. As technology improved over the decades and increasingly complex systems and games were released, Sean bought many and he enjoyed challenging family members to play at holiday get togethers. Also, as a hobby, he wrote and developed several computer games of his own over the years.
But even with his love of computers and technology, Sean was perhaps an old soul. And not in the sense of having a deep understanding of human interaction, as he was a shy, reserved observer of people, rarely needing to say much at all, never needing to draw attention to himself or attempting to impress, but he was patient, kind, contemplative, and exceptionally intelligent. He could have lived happily in an earlier era without computers as he also found joy in simple things. As a child he loved reading, non-fiction especially, and learning new information. He liked to draw. For his whole life, Sean went on long, thoughtful walks. He had an undefinable subtle connection to nature that came from growing up in a house on a hill in rural Hawkshaw, NB with a forest as a backyard, and a clear view of the St. John River.
He loved cats and took excellent care of the family cat, Meadow.
He was good-natured, and very helpful to his parents. Like many families, we have running family jokes and Sean rolled with them too. A lover of vests – he wore them year-round – he never tired of getting “Vest Wishes” when one was gifted to him. We will miss him.
Sean is survived by his parents David and Fredrica Givan of Fredericton Junction, his brother Davis Givan (Carmen) of London, Ontario and his sister Riel Nason (Shane) of Quispamsis, as well as nephews David, Jesse and Eli and nieces Molly and Tess.
In respect to Sean and by prior agreement there will be no public visitation or service.
Arrangements are in the Professional Care of Sunbury Funeral Home, Central Blissville, NB (506-368-2413). Condolences:sunburyfuneralhome.com
