Through the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games, I had the great fortune to get to know Sean and his amazing family. With both a Montville and Hoboken connection, we immediately forged a friendship. I am honored and proud to have known him. Sean taught me about strength, resiliency, and mostly, patience. Live Like Sean provides a brief look into a life that touched so many and is a must-read about how life lessons can come from the most unexpected sources. Sean was a shining presence who impacted all who knew him and he will be missed.

Sean Nelligan lived a life of innocence and a life of influence. He was limited by his intellectual disability, yet shared a brilliance beyond imagine. Sean was simple in his thinking yet profoundly impacted everyone he met. As a father and as a corporate leader in his industry, TJ stopped time throughout Sean’s life to respect and admire his person. Yet it was only after Sean’s passing, that TJ realized the extraordinary reach of Sean’s understanding of life and the lessons he taught so many friends and family members. This book is more than a “feel good’” book. It’s a story about the impact of life’s perspective from a person who represents a segment of our community who is often not respected for their word. In this book, TJ Nelligan captured a purpose behind Sean’s life that will impact your day and no doubt change your perspective on life. We all should learn to Live Like Sean.
