It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Sales Director, Sean McQueen. Sean left us this evening, surrounded by the unwavering love of his family and friends, following a courageous battle with colon cancer.
His loss leaves an indescribable void in our hearts and in the fabric of Mississippi River Distilling Company (MRDC), where he has been a guiding light since the very beginning, 14 years ago.
A Legacy of Excellence and Compassion
Sean was more than a colleague or a team member; he was a cornerstone of MRDC. His influence and vision shaped not only the success of our company but also the spirit of our team.
Sean demanded nothing short of excellence, constantly pushing all of us to rise to challenges and exceed our own expectations. His ability to see opportunities where others might not, coupled with his strategic brilliance, was instrumental in driving MRDC’s growth and reputation within the industry.
A Heart of Gold
However, Sean’s impact extended far beyond his professional achievements. What truly set him apart was his heart—a heart full of compassion, kindness, and an unwavering belief in the inherent value of every individual. He had a remarkable gift for making people feel seen, heard, and appreciated. Whether it was a coworker, a client, or a stranger he met during one of his many travels, Sean treated everyone with dignity and respect.

As we process the immense loss of Sean, we recognize that words alone cannot fully capture what he meant to MRDC and to each of us personally. Sean’s legacy is woven into the story of this company and the lives of everyone fortunate enough to have shared in his journey. He was truly one of the best—a shining example of what it means to live with purpose, passion, and love.
