SARATOGA SPRING – Sean M Kelleher sadly lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday March 15th.
Born January 10, 1969, to the late Sharon Kill and Joseph Dennis Kelleher in Glens Falls.
Sean, being the over achiever that he was, attended Big Cross Elementary school. He was the recipient of awards, responsibility and civic honor. He attended HVCC in hopes to become a CASAC. He had a passion for writing and in travel. He was 4 states shy of visiting all 50 states.
In Sean’s own words “I am not Kerovak, nor Thereaux, not even Alexander Supertramp, but I am on the road, living deliberately and going into the wild. I know not what lies ahead”.
Sean was such an inspiration to so many people that he met on his journey. His smile would light up a room his laugh was contagious. He was a kind soul.
You were able to get 200 people in the community to look past their own personal indifference about recovery and commit to seeing “The Anonymous People” This is where it all began.
Your ideas and dedication to RAIS (Recovery Advocacy In Saratoga) and Healing Springs has inspired and facilitated thousands on their journey to recovery. You put in to motion a place where anyone can come in and not be ashamed of whatever it is they are struggling with, this has helped hundreds of people and has saved many lives. You are an encouragement to all of us.
In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by a brother, Joseph Francis Kelleher

Rest in Peace- I lost touch with Sean over the years but he was one of my best childhood friends. Every teen memory I have involves Sean and the Kellehers.
Very sorry to hear the news of his passing.

Margaret, Pat, and Dan, I am so deeply sorry about the loss of Sean. I remember him as the sweetest kid, my shy, smiling cousin. I am sure he touched many lives as an adult with his kind, gentle soul. Love you all very much, Eileen
