SEAN ALEXANDER LAWSON

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Sean Alexander Lawson at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 14, 2025, at the young age of 37 years. Sean was a beloved father, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, uncle, friend, and colleague. His passing has created a tidal wave of grief crashing over everyone who loved him.

Sean was born on March 26, 1988, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is survived by his beloved son, Brody; parents, Christopher & Brenda Lawson (née Mason); sister and brother-in-law, Tamara & Nelson Bueckert; brother, Keir Lawson; and grandmother, Mildred Mason. Also surviving Sean are his aunts and uncles: Pamela Mason, Greg & Kathy Lawson, Tim & Jean Lawson, Brad & Fiona Lawson, Doug & Judy Mason, George & Janis Mason, Bill & Cyndi Mason, as well as their families. Sean leaves a huge circle of friends who are mourning him. Sean also leaves his beloved cat, Leonard.

Sean was predeceased by his grandparents, William Mason and Ardythe & Harry Lawson; as well as his cousin, Jacqueline Lawson. He loved them dearly and felt their losses deeply.

Sean spent most of his childhood in Stonewall, Manitoba and developed many close and enduring friendships there. He worked for many years at Winpak in Winnipeg and considered his colleagues to be good friends. Sean’s purpose and focus in life was the well-being of his son. He was an incredible father to Brody and Brody trusted Sean like no other—they were a team. Sean & Brody were making a good life for themselves in their home in Teulon, Manitoba before Sean was tragically taken from us through a senseless act of violence. It is our hope that justice will be served.

A private family interment is taking place. Sean’s Celebration of Life will be held in late August so that family, friends, and colleagues have an opportunity to honour Sean. No flowers please. Some kind citizens in Teulon have spearheaded a donation fund to support Sean’s son. Donations can be made at any Access Credit Union in Manitoba (Funds for Brody: Member #5396) or e-transferred to fundsforbrody2025@gmail.com.

We will all hold precious memories of you in our hearts, Sean, and we will ensure that Brody has the life he deserves. We will love you forever.

Sean’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
