Sean-Patrick David Jinkerson

Sean-Patrick David Jinkerson, Fortified with the Sacraments of the Holy Mother Church, passed to his heavenly home on August 10, 2026 in St. Louis County, Missouri. He was 31 years old. Born on September 8, 1994 to David Marvin Jinkerson and Mary Colleen (Dean) Jinkerson, Sean-Patrick, (known as “SP” to some, and “Bean”, by his devoted mother), was special from the moment of birth. 

Living with the rare chromosome disorder, SmithMagenis Syndrome (SMS), Sean-Patrick endured challenges but enjoyed life. He experienced his First Holy Communion at St. Clare of Assisi; graduated from Southview School; looked forward to spending time with his family; and drinking chocolate shakes and a good cup of coffee. He was a devoted fan of Bluegrass Music, especially Rhonda Vincent and The Rage. Her music brightened up any day or troubles that SeanPatrick encountered. His sense of humor and mischievous shenanigans will be missed by so many; especially his dad, brother, and his many cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other extended family members. 

Sean-Patrick is survived by his loving and devoted father and brother, David Marvin Jinkerson and Richard (Richie) Brake Jinkerson, his maternal grandparents Dick and Sally Dean, maternal aunts and uncles Barbara and Scott Sorel, Jim Dean and Kirk Behymer, Patrick and Michelle Dean, Molly and Tim Newberry, Bill and Erin Dean, and Richard Dean. Paternal aunts and uncles Pamela Pigg, Richard and Melanie Goldstein, and Timothy and Kimberly Jinkerson; stepgrandfather Dewain Wilkinson; and numerous beloved cousins, greataunts, great-uncles, caregivers, and friends. 

He was predeceased by his mother Mary Colleen (Dean) Jinkerson, paternal grandmother Elsie (Brake) Wilkinson; paternal grandfather Marvin Jinkerson; step-grandmother Maxine (Spry) Jinkerson and uncle Steven Pigg.
