SEAN CHRISTOPHER JAMIESON It is what it is The man. The myth. The legend. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him. Sean Christopher Jamieson packed his duffel bag and left us to go play hockey in a larger hockey rink that will always be filled to capacity. Born in 1985 in the Misericordia Hospital he was the bouncing baby boy of Heather Barbour and Scott Jamieson whom the Winnipeg Free Press should have noted as extraordinary parents. His beaming smile and never ending sense of humour will be missed by his stepmom Norma Jamieson, his sister Courtney Williams (Dean Williams), stepbrother Riley, Grandma Brenda Barbour, and many incredible aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Before passing Sean forged a 29 year trail of laughter, generosity, compassion, and wisdom. It was during this trail blazing time that Sean forged friendships with so many incredible people whether it was through the fun times of hockey, fishing, hunting or bar hopping. Sean never missed an opportunity to tell whoever would listen just how lucky he was to have so many people in his life. There isn't enough space here to list all of the women from Sean's past, in fact there isn't enough space in the Winnipeg phone book. His Facebook statuses were legendary and further to his passing on Wednesday Morgan's Spiced Rum stock prices fell sharply on the news of Sean's passing. Senior executives at Morgan's called an emergency meeting to brace for the impact of the anticipated drop in sales. We would like to extend our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to the incredible and seldom recognized staff at the Health Sciences Centre and the Palliative Care staff at the St. Boniface Hospital. Sean never missed an opportunity to let these special people know how under appreciated they are as well as recognizing that what they do is not a job but rather it is a passion. We would really like you to share some of your best memories of Sean so please take a moment and share your memories with us. In the way Sean lived his life, Sean would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor, unfortunate soul in his name. When asked if he had any beliefs, Sean responded I don't believe in reincarnation, and I didn't believe in it when I was a hamster. No one can deny that Sean made his final exit with style and grace on January 14, 2015. This obituary was personally approved by Sean --- for, as you all know, he always had to have the last word! Memorial service will be held at the Sturgeon Creek United Church, 207 Thompson Drive on Monday, January 19, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Winnipeg True North Foundation-Hockey Program, 345 Graham Ave., Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 5S6.

Condolences & Memories (12 entries)

  • We wish to express our condolences to Sean's family. He was such a kind young man. We met him at Chris and Vik's wedding. . I would see him more as Sean would come to to the bank and we would talk about what he was doing and he always asked about Chris and Vik . Sean always had a huge smile on his face, and I enjoyed our talks. We are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. - Posted by: Karen and Kevin Andrusiek (Friends) on: Jan 24, 2015

  • I was one of his nurses. What a kind and genuine man. I'm sure he will be missed, thoughts are with his family and friends. - Posted by: Anonymous () on: Jan 21, 2015

  • Met Sean in Red Deer through work as EMR's together and through his dad. Was fortunate enough to work with him, have many laughs and debate about whose favorite hockey team was better - his flyers or my canucks. Will never forget how genuinely nice Sean was to everyone he came across and how he impacted everyone around him. Will miss you. - Posted by: Rachel Reynolds () on: Jan 20, 2015

  • My deepest condolences to Heather, Scott, Courtney and all the Jamieson family. I'm sorry for your loss. I first met Sean on the playground of George McDowell School where he lived only a stone's throw away... One of the nicest/genuine people I have ever met... I'll never forget the many street hockey games, sleep overs, laughs, and fun we had together... I was sad to see Sean move to St. James but we remained close either through phone calls or weekend visits....I'll never forget the epic gaming night at magic land with him and his dad... As we grew older Sean played for the St. James Canucks and I played for the St. Vital Victorias where on numerous occasions he made miraculous saves time and time again on me... I never heard the end of it let me tell ya, but we always got a good laugh about it.... He was a great goalie and always played the game with passion, that he showed both on and off the rink....You were a great friend to me and many others.... I'll miss you my brother but I know you're in a better place... I'll see you later buddy. Dk - Posted by: Derrick klassen (Friend) on: Jan 19, 2015

  • When I first met Sean it was in the fall of 2013 at our place of work for Stretcher Service of Manitoba. Sean had been working there a couple months before me and had been bounced around from working night shift to now day shift with myself. Sean and I shared the same interests and from day 1 of meeting each other we clicked. At work we called ourselves team "Sean Jean" to our colleagues and to the nursing staff at the hospitals the "A" team, Sean was a man of his craft and would stop at nothing to help you out. He was always looking out for others and the most caring person I have ever met. I would always look forward to work the next day knowing I'd be spending the next 8 hours with him. We hung out outside of work quite a bit when it entailed hunting and fishing. The one and only time we went ice fishing was last year in March at the Lac Du Bonnet ice fishing derby. Sean had invited myself along with another one of our colleagues and close friends Acacia. We piled into his Equinox and set off for the long journey ahead, upon arrival of the derby Sean introduced me to some of his long time close friends. For the entirety of the afternoon there was only 1 fish that was caught between the 7 of us. Fish or no fish it didn't matter, what did matter was the great moments we all spent with you Sean and how you all made us smile and continue to do so. You've forever left your imprint of that infamous handsome smile of yours in all of our minds, the world needs more Sean Jamiesons. My deepest condolences to the Jamieson family for he will truly be missed by all. Rest easy Sean and take care. Your Partner, Jean-Luc - Posted by: Jean-Luc Tetreault (Work Partner at Stretcher Service of Manitoba - Close Friend) on: Jan 18, 2015

  • We are so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for all of you during this difficult time. We first met Sean January 2013 for the Durham/Masson Wedding. Only knowing the bride and groom we were welcomed into their circle of friends with open arms. Day 1 – bright and early, eagerly and enthusiastically Sean was the first to approach us. Asking if we knew everyone, what we were up to, before we knew it we were all over the resort meeting all kinds of people. He had a way of making one feel they were the most interesting person in the room. I have a feeling Sean had this impression with everyone he crossed paths with. Only a week in Mexico and we have lasting memories. For those who spent their lives building memories with him, you will have those close to your hearts forever. - Posted by: Craig & Teri Danell () on: Jan 17, 2015

  • Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your son,brother,cousin & nephew. There are no words to express my sadness at the news of Sean's passing. Please know that my thoughts are with you all & I'm sending many hugs. - Posted by: Sharon Burton (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2015

  • I met Sean a couple years ago in an EMR course in Red Deer. I use to drive behind him with his bright orange hat (He sure loved the Flyers) and his little smart car:P I remember thinking this guy is so smart cause he just knew his stuff. He was always smiling, always happy. He approached me one day at lunch and helped me with homework and from there we became fast friends. He had such a big heart that went along with his great big smile! I am forever grateful and blessed to have had such a wonderful friend in my life. Even if we hadn't talked in a bit Sean was always there to give his support and to share his optimism. No matter what happened he was always so positive. Felt like just the other day I was talking with him and everything was going to be okay. I am so sad I never got the chance to talk with him one last time!! He was an incredible guy that was taken way to early. I'm so sorry! My heart goes out to the Jamieson family in this terribly tragic time. May you rest in peace Sean! ♡ - Posted by: Lisa Akkermans (Friends) on: Jan 17, 2015

  • Dear Jamieson Family, Our deepest sympathy on the loss of Sean.. A good friend to Sandy. He helped Sandy with a lot of close issues and was a really good friend. Words cannot express our sadness, sorrow, and deepest sympathy to you and your family. Sincerely Lisa, Richard and Sandy Cohen - Posted by: Lisa, Sandy and Richard Cohen (Close friend) on: Jan 17, 2015

  • Well, I may have known Sean the least of anyone else who will post a story here and yet I feel compelled to write something, because as little as I did know of Sean, I knew he was a great man. Not many Winnipegers can say they met a new friend while attending a family wedding in Mexico. But that is how I met Sean. I didn't see him many times after that week in Mexico but when I did he was always kind to me and had a huge smile and hug to offer and of course we had all those great memories from that week in January of 2013. I look forward to reading all the tributes to Sean here, I think it would've been nice to know him better than I had a chance to. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. - Posted by: Trista Ross (friend) on: Jan 17, 2015

  • Sean ... Sean was one of my closest childhood friends, we first met as goalie partners on a ragtag team of Dakota Lazers 10A2. We quickly bonded over our love of hockey, goalie equipment, video games and just getting into trouble. Sean and I were close friends, we always called each other to ‘hang out’ up until he moved to St-James and I to the Norwood flats ... we saw each other a little less and less. We were ‘tight’ until about 14yrs. 4 years for a kid is an eternity, it’s true. Learning of his passing flooded me with a lifetime of memories and events that both he and I shared, events that shaped the men we became. I was very close to Sean, Sean was like my little brother, and I wouldn’t stand for anyone bugging him or putting him down. Sean was a kind, generous and honest friend who was always there for me when I was going through hardship. He was a gifted athlete in any sport, but our time together was best shared playing street hockey at Mike McDonalds house, or at Sean’s Cul-de-sac at the edge of Blackwater bay, riding our bikes all around the ‘black paths’ in River Park South to our Soccer games which were coached by his dad Scott. Come to think of it, Sean and I did everything together ... Halloween, drop ins, talk to girls, etc. Scott, Heather, and Courtney I’m so sorry for your loss, Sean was my best friend when I was a kid. I recently ran into him last year at hockey (of course) we didn’t skip a beat and picked up where we had left off.
