Sean Christian Keville

It is with great sorrow that we report the passing of brother, Sean Christian Keville from complications of Covid-19 on Wednesday April 8th at University Hospital, Newark, NJ. Sean was born on December 25, 1972 in Bryn Mawr, PA and was a resident of New Providence with his wife Madeline and daughter Maggie.

Sean was a Division III All-American quarterback at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA, where he set numerous records. He went on to earn an MBA from Fordham University and later his CFA Charter. His professional career began at Morgan Stanley, where he also met the love of his life, his future wife Madeline. Sean joined R Seelaus & Co. in Chatham where he held the position of Senior Vice President.

Sean loved attending his daughter Maggie’s school events, dance recitals and competitions, always encouraging her to do her best. His love of football never waned, following local teams and often seen attending his nephews’ games. Though joining a family of Giant fans, he remained a die hard Philadelphia Eagle fan.

Sean is survived by his wife Madeline (nee Kissane), his adoring daughter Maggie, his mother Patricia Keville and her husband Bob Weaver, siblings Kimberley (Jim) Logan and Ryan (Amber) Keville as well as the entire Kissane family. In lieu of flowers, Donations can be made in trust for Maggie’s education
