He was an All-Star his sophomore year, an All-League his junior and senior years and was a two-time Bay State Games player his junior and senior years. He was also chosen to play in the Agganis Games. He had baseball scholarship offers from over 200 universities and colleges to play baseball, but instead, decided to further his education, graduating from Merrimack College, class of 2002.

He continued his career with Stone Ridge Properties for 16 years, becoming an owner in 2010. Sean enjoyed working with his Dad and the two often could be found playing golf, riding their motorcycles, and watching and attending games for New England sports teams together. He especially enjoyed spending time with his sister Alex, brother-in-law Todd, and his nephews, Travis and Trevor. His highlight each year was his annual trip to Arizona with his father to attend spring training baseball games, where they made many lifelong friendships.

Perkins, Sean is survived by his wife, Diann May of Newburyport; his sister Alexandra Perkins Carpenter, her husband Todd of N.C., as well as nephews, Travis and Trevor Carpenter; his uncle Walter J.
