Patrick "Sean" Houston Obituary (1970

Patrick Sean “Sean” Houston, age 55, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026, after a courageous battle with stage 4 prostate cancer. Sean was born on May 17, 1970, in St. Louis, Missouri. He was a man known for his strength, resilience, and the deep love he carried for his family. A skilled painter for over 30 years, Sean took great pride in his work and the life he built with his hands. He is survived by his brothers, Steve, Timmy, Mark, and Mike, and his sisters, Shannon and Heather. Above all, Sean’s greatest pride and joy were his daughter, Megan Houston, his son Travis Mitchell, whom he raised since he was little, and his beloved granddaughter, Aurora Tipsord, who brought immense happiness to his life. Sean enjoyed the simple pleasures—good food, relaxing moments, and occasionally sitting back with a Corona. He was known by all who met him as a genuinely kind and compassionate person, someone who would give the shirt off his back to help others. He had a heart like no other. Though he could be hotheaded at times, it was always balanced by his deep care, loyalty, and love for those around him. In his later days, Sean found comfort in reconnecting with his Catholic faith, which brought him peace during his illness. Sean will be remembered for his strong spirit, his generous heart, and the lasting impact he made on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed and forever loved. “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.”
