Sean Patrick Doneen passed away peacefully surrounded by his L'Arche family on September 20 ^th , 2020 at the age of 59.  Sean is preceded in death by his father & mother, Paul & Shirley Doneen. Sean will be lovingly remembered by his brothers and sisters; Neil Doneen of Spokane, WA, Shannon Tillung of Lebanon, IL, Katie Frucci (Jim) of Spokane Valley, WA, Kelly Songcuan (Butch) of Omaha, NE, and Joseph Doneen of Portland, OR. He is also remembered by his 14 nieces and nephews.  Sean came to live in the L'Arche community in April of 1983, and he brought 37 years of joy. He loved dancing and music; especially directing the music during mass at his parish, St. Aloysius. In his final nights, we often witnessed him directing. (No doubt he is busy directing the heavenly choir today!)  Sean enjoyed cooking and baking with family and friends; decorating and eating cookies was his specialty. Sean also loved superheroes and his favorites were batman and wonder woman. As one community member put it, "Sean's super power was love and friendship." Sean also enjoyed rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and Gonzaga basketball teams. He always had a bright smile and a hug for everyone, and his impact on the lives of those around him has been far reaching.
