Sean Maples Memorial Fund

Donation protected
MAJ Sean Christopher Maples leaves behind a legacy of living a beautiful life filled with humor, love, bravery strength and service.  He was known to his friends and family for his legendary pig roasting skills, fantastic sense of humor, practical jokes, and party throwing.  He had a knack for carrying heavy things up hill, appreciating what nature had to offer, and giving speeches that make everyone cry.  Most of all he was an amazing friend, a dear son, the greatest brother, an adoring husband, and a fantastic father who cherished his children.

 Sean battled melanoma for 8 years.  He battled hard- seeking clinical trials and willing to endure risky treatments.  He wanted and deserved to beat this horrible disease. During those 8 years- he fell in love, started his family, became a green beret, deployed on missions,  climbed mountains, and earned a masters degree.  He was the strongest, bravest man many of us have ever known.  Having known Sean was to love Sean.  There are few people who could be the funniest guy in a room, the calmest boat in a storm, a fantastic leader and still be genuinely the most liked guy.

One of Sean's only regrets was that his diagnosis prevented him from getting additional insurance to protect his family once he was gone.  The purpose of this Fund is provide for Cillian, Nora, and Nessa so that they may be able to fulfill the dreams their father had for them for school and for educational opportunities.  Let's make that happen!


GoFundMe Disclosure: I am Sean's sister, Taragh,  and the Aunt to these beautiful children.  I live in Phoenix and was fortunate to be close enough to frequently spend time with them these past few years. Their Mom, Katie, is my sister by marriage. The intention is to transfer this money into the bank accounts that have been established for them for their Mom to administer for their needs.
