It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of a forever friend and beloved husband and father, Sean O'Hagan. John Martin "Sean" O'Hagan, of Hanover, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at Hanover and District Hospital on Sunday, March 15, 2026. He was 74.
Sean was born in Belfast Northern Ireland on September 14, 1951 to the late James and Susan (nee Scullion) O'Hagan. Sean loved the outdoors... especially hockey and fishing, but the most important thing he loved was being a family man to the core of his heart.
Survived by his wife Suzanne of 54 years who loved him dearly and with her whole heart. The true meaning of soul mate in the essence of the word. Loved father of Diane (Brian) and Sean Jr (Monica). Special papa of Chelsea, Braden, Tristan and Nathan and great papa to Liam and Rosie. Sean will be lovingly remembered by his siblings Patsy, Jim, Sue as well as his brothers and sisters in laws, many nieces, nephews and their families both in Canada and Ireland. Sean was dearly loved by his Uncle Michael who resides in Arizona. Predeceased by his sister Lily.
To honor his wishes, cremation has taken place. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Mighton Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Safe and Sound or to your local homeless shelter or reach out to someone in need with an act of kindness, just like Sean would have done, would be appreciated by the family. Messages of condolences can be sent to www.mightonfuneral@wightman.ca
My Dearest Da,
It's a week today that I last got to hold your hand and tell you how much I loved you. My heart is shattered into a million pieces and I can't imagine life without you in it. Father's are our guiding lights in life and I will love and celebrate you for the rest of my life.
Until I see you again,
Your daughter Diane(Dizyye)
We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Sean. His memory will forever be etched in your heart so hold them close and cherish them forever. God bless you all.
Your neighbours, Jim and Barb.
I keep reading this obituary and it doesn't feel real.
My dearest Papa, you were so loved and will be missed so much. You were my Mr. Fix It, my safe place, my support during my lows and my highs. You have helped guide me from a little girl, from teaching me to ride a bike to driving trucks.To giving me all those special moments, I remember them all. You set a high bar on my expectations on a husband, your love for Nanny was strong and fierce, her forever friend.
You might not here with us now but you will be in lightening storms, the cheers in the hockey arena crowds, the silly moments, and the crepuscular rays in the clouds.
You will be always wrapped around my pinky finger Papa.
My love goes to my Nanny, my Mom, my Uncle and all the family who feels this loss and grief.
Suzanne and family, our thoughts are with you during this sad time, our condolences to you all, hugs and prayers, Ron and Vickie Abbs.

Our sincere condolences to Suzanne and the family on the sad passing of Sean. We have known you both for over 50 years and although we're thousands of miles away, we still remained close friends.
It was a pleasure to know Sean, a gentleman in the true sense of the word.
Rest in peace Sean.
Chris and Briege
Your kindness, wisdom and humour will stay with us forever.
Wishing you peace, rest well Uncle Sean.
I know there are no words that can ease your pain right now least to say Sean is at rest and no longer in pain. You are braver and stronger than you realize to support each other through as you know “Papa” would have wanted. Sending your way healing prayers and comfort in this very difficult time. Please know that we are here for you, Sean was a wonderful person that touched many lives, his kindness and spirit will always be remembered.
- Lyn McDonaldIt is with deep regret I mourn the passing of my dear brother Sean, alough many years and miles separated us we still had a strong family bond, With my own family we did enjoy those few times when we were togather, the banter, the beer, and your belief you were the master of the "Barbecue" memories that will stay with us all.
To my sister in law Suzanne, Diane, Sean and families the grief we now feel is tempered by what he left us, for we are all the richer for knowing him.
Suzanne and family, I know Sean has left a great void in all of your hearts. It is difficult to think of the words to say as condolence, let me just say instead, remember him fondly and all the great memories he left you. Reach out if ever there is anything I can do, even if it is just to talk. Love you all.
- Bill McDonaldRest in peace uncle Sean.
You will be loved and missed. Hope your up there playing with Bella.
I will definitely miss you pestering me.
Watch over aunt Suzie and everyone else.
Lots of Love from me and the girls xxx
