Sean Sovis

Sean Sovis, 46, of Elko New Market, MN, passed away on August 19, 2024 in Burnsville, MN. He was surrounded by family as he peacefully passed on. 

Born on December 19, 1977, in Edina, MN, Sean's passion for life was evident through his family and his hobbies. He was a regular at Amaya’s dance competitions and Jake’s basketball games, always being their biggest cheerleader. His love for the lake, social gatherings, and playing pull-tabs with friends were some of his favorite ways to relax and enjoy life.

Known for his unwavering dedication as a friend and family man, Sean was the heartbeat of every gathering. Whether it was daily phone call check-ins with friends or finding the right person for any task (who do I pay?). He embodied the spirit of true friendship. His love extended beyond his immediate family to include countless friends. 

Sean was a devoted realtor at Sovis Real Estate Group/Remax Advantage Plus, where his professionalism and warm personality made him a favorite in the community.

A graduate of Burnsville High School, Sean's early life in the community forged lifelong friendships and a foundation for his future successes. As a teenager he could often be found skiing at Buck Hill, riding motorcycles with his buddies and being the life of the party.
