A sad loss, but lots of happy memories

It is with great condolences that we announce that Sean Maddock passed away Wednesday, June 17th at 10pm. Sean was a great asset to the Northern team as well as a friend that will be greatly missed by all. Here are some of the memories of Sean, as shared by his friends:

I am going to miss his calls and his optimism. He helped us build many relationships at Northern and was always focused on exceeding customer’s expectations. He leaves behind a young family with many requirements. I talked with Ceci earlier this evening and she needs our prayers and help.

Time on earth is short. Mike - thanks for the updates and encouraging words.

Thank you for informing us. Seeing the comments that are being returned reminds me of the wonderful community that was Northern Computers. Sean was a big presence in that community and I will never forget his boisterous greeting when I would enter the room. You could not ignore Sean, he had a great heart for people and he will be missed.

Sean was a true force of nature that brought passion and determination to everything the he tackled. However in every conversation that I had with Sean over the years the one thing that he was most passionate about was his wife and kids. He always had a great story about his family and conveyed how much he truly adored them at every opportunity. In my opinion one can have no better legacy. To the Maddock family my most heartfelt condolences and prayers.

Rest in peace Sean.

When Bill Ellifson first took over for Eric Mandernack as Sean's inside sales person, I walked by Bill's door about 4 or 5 times over a couple of hours. Every time I walked by Bill was standing. Next day, same thing. I finally asked Bill why he wasn't sitting down, and he replied, "Sean says I can't sit down until I hit $10,000 in sales for the day."

Sean certainly had a way to motivate!

Sincerely,

  1. Sean was always such a happy guy. He really inducted me to the world of business travel with all of our crazy ADT meetings in one year. He taught me a lot about how to care for your customers.

    I have so many great memories with Sean. He and Ceci traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding and there were a number of times that he was in town for hockey games with one of the kids...he'd always make sure that we were able to get together for dinner.

    He will be missed and our prayers are with Ceci and the kids.

    And Warren is right, it feels like we have all lost a member of the "family" because Northern truly was a family.
