Sean S. Greif, 46, of Oswego, IL passed away suddenly on August 29, 2024 at Rush-Copley Medical Center. He was born on August 30, 1977 in Aurora, IL.
Sean and Julie enjoyed 25 years together. Sean was a loving and caring husband who will be missed beyond measure. Sean was an amazing Uncle to his nieces and nephews, a Godfather to many children and a great friend to many people. Sean loved to fish and he had an appreciation for all cars (including Hot Wheels). Sean and Julie enjoyed spending time at car shows and would proudly take their 63 Ford Falcon. Sean also loved hanging out with friends and sharing many laughs. Sean was an avid White Sox and Chicago Bears fan. Sean loved to cook for his family and friends and always wanted to be behind the grill. Sean was a member of St George Church and would always volunteer to lend a hand. He even put together a car show fundraiser for the Church. Sean always made sure he attended many school and sporting events for his nieces and nephews. Sean was a one of a kind guy who would always lend a hand to anyone. He was a guy that people knew they could count on and if you had an issue with a car, he was your guy. We lost an amazing man but Heaven definitely gained an Angel.
