In loving memory of Sean David Popowicz, who sadly passed away in Swindon on 11th July 2015. Taken too soon and missed by many, Sean leaves behind family and friends deeply affected by the loss of an inspirational, fun loving individual. Sean made an impact on many lives during his time with us, and has left an imprint in our hearts and minds. He will live on through the kindness, compassion, loyalty, love and friendship he gave us all.

The Family appreciate if you can use this page to share your stories, photos and memories of Sean, to help us create a memorial of all the things he done and all people he impacted during his life.

Sean's Funeral will take place at Holy Rood Church on Friday 7th August 2015 at midday, All are welcome to attend the service and also the committal at Kingsdown crematorium directly afterwards. The Wake will be held at Twenty at the Kings (Kings arms hotel) Wood St, Old Town, again all are welcome, and those not attending the committal can feel free to proceed directly to the Kings after the funeral.

Family flowers only are requested, but donations to the chosen charity of Swindon mentoring and self help, who are a independent local charity who help young people who haven't had the best start in life improve their futures, would be appreciated.

Dress code of smart with a splash of bright colour is suggested but not essential. The splash of colour is to represent Sean's unique dress sense and colourful personality.

Loved it when you got one of those mini motor bikes. I watched you racing it up and down the alley way in south view, bearing in mind I was about 11 and that made you about 22 years of age! You couldn't actually see the bike when you were sat on it, just you gliding around with a massive smile on your face! You big kid! You taught me never to be too serious and not to worry about stupid little things. It's like I'm missing you more and more everyday, I think about you everyday, the realisation that you're gone is the hardest. I would give anything to share a laugh with you one last time but I'm so lucky to of had you in my life. I guarantee that I will never meet another person like you. I will always remember how much happiness and laughter you brought to our family gatherings and those memories will stay with us all forever. I feel you there when I'm at my lowest but also when I'm laughing the hardest. Please keep being there with me and all of us. You will always stay in our hearts. Love you lots like jelly tots.

I just had a little giggle when I found the worlds smallest straighteners that belonged to you. You used to pay me a fiver or a tenner to come over before you went on nights out and straighten all your fluffy hair because you "wanted to look like Freddie from skins" hahaha.
Missing you so much

Just reading about reading festival and a memory came back to me, I think it was about 2006, I was at the festival, absolutely hammered, and decided I wanted to come home at around 3am. I walked out of the campsite, and called you to pick me up swearing blind I was in Wroughton. You ended up driving round Wroughton for two hours in the middle of the night looking for me, until you rang me back up and told me to check the nearest bus stop, at which point I discovered I was still in reading. Cue you calling me every expletive under the sun. But it was just one example from hundreds when you were there for me, you never let me down. xxxx

There's not enough pictures in the world to show how many silly or funny memories I have of us together, or any words that I could say to explain how much you will be missed. You taught me so much about being kind, karma and simply how to have a positive effect on other people - you were always making others smile.

Whilst your life may have been short-lived, your soul will live on forever - you had such a positive impact on so many people's lives that an uncountable amount of people will now be a little more 'Pops'.

I always called you 'Uncle Pops' because you were like an Uncle in the way that you always looked out for me, but you always had that mischievous little 'Pops' grin on your face where I knew you were up to something.

You will be sorely missed by many, Uncle Pops xx

I am sending a dove to heaven
With a parcel on its wings
Be careful when you open it
It's full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much we miss you
And to send you all our love xx
