Sean Casey Kilbourn, was born Fri. May 4, 1979 by caesarian section at Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, IL. He was the beloved son of David and Virgene Kilbourn, brother of Karen L. Shepard (Kent) and uncle to Brittany R. Shepard all of Avon, Indiana. He is also survived by his grandmother Cora Kilbourn, Avon, his uncles Wendell (Linda) Sherman, Philadelphia, Robert (Barbara Kilbourn, Avon, aunts Patricia Riedl, England, Candi (Carlos) Calvos, Michigan and Kathi (Darrin) Hull, Wisconsin plus many cousins. He attended Schaumburg Christian School in Schaumburg, IL, as well as Kingsway Christian School, Plainfield Middle School and Bethesda Christian School. Always industrious and looking for ways to earn money, he delivered the Star for four years. When he moved to Michigan in 2000, he got a job within two days delivering the Grand Rapid's Press newspaper. He also worked for Indy Expediting. Sean loved playing in the snow, fishing, soccer, art, drawing and Legos. He also took several classes at the Indianapolis Art Center and was especially interested in the art of charcoal portrait drawing. His favorite singer was Rich Mullins, and one of Sean's favorite songs by him was "Awesome God". He had a killer smile; a good kid with just a streak of rebel. Unfortunately, on May 25, 2000, Sean was found clinically dead from a heroin overdose and suffered severe brain damage. It happened three weeks to the day past his 21st birthday. He spent nearly 16 years in the nursing home and never recovered. Sean's parents would like to thank Dr. Richardson, Infectious Disease, Dr. Wells, DDS, as well as many other doctors, ER staff, ICU staff, unit managers, discharge planners, nurses, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists and IV teams from IU Health West Hospital and Hendricks Regional Health. We owe our heartfelt thanks to the "A-team" nurses and aides at Danville Regional Rehabilitation. We would be remiss if we didn't thank the countless friends, family members, new friends and even strangers for their prayers for all of us. In memory of Sean, wrap your arms around those you hold dear every day. Say those things you meant to say and/or should have said while you can still speak to those who need to hear them while they are still capable of hearing them. Do not live with regret. Reach out to reconcile. Stop keeping score. Lastly, Sean's voice is now silent; never to be heard on this earth ever again…and we will miss that tremendously! Visitation will be from 4-7pm Thurs. April 21at Matthews Mortuary, Brownsburg, with funeral services there at 11am Fri. April 22 with calling one hour prior to services. Burial will be at Crown Hill Cemetery. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made directly to the Hendricks County Sheriff's Department for the purchase of Narcan kits for the deputies to carry. The Narcan kits are used by deputies to reverse an overdose on scene before medical help arrives. This helps to save lives and prevent severe brain injury due to the overdose. The Sheriff has been very gracious and created a fund in memory of Sean just for this purpose. Donations can be sent to: Hendricks County Sheriff's Department, 925 E Main St. PO Box 87, Danville, IN 46122. Please note in the memo area that it is for the Sean Kilbourn fund.
