I just saw this Facebook post by Sean's partner that he passed away last night. I am shocked. He was in top shape doing mountain biking and martial arts.
He has not been active here since 2018 but went by Sean V8 914.

OH NO...

I haven't spoken to him in about a year.
I am in shock.

RIP

Not a good way to end the year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Wow what a shock. He wasn't that old and last I saw him he was in great shape. However that was a couple of years ago at one of Bruce's swap meets. He was a really nice guy and amazing welder, which I think he learned in the Navy.

So sorry for her loss. Sad he was a young guy. That is how I would like to go, in my sleep, no suffering with a bunch of tubes keeping me alive.

I never met Sean and can't imagine how difficult this is for his family and friends.
Words fail...

Sean was 55. Not sure he learned welding in the Navy.
He was a Navy Seal for ten years. Had many goid stories to tell.

He was in top shape doing long distance mountain bike rides.

Oh no!
Sean was a San Diego guy, a bit off the radar for the past few years but 914 buddy to many--also had played a huge part in the Ghost Busters tribute Ecto-1 that was down here in San Diego as well, all around good guy. Sad...RIP

Very sorry to hear about the loss of Sean losing too many friends passed on, it's the worst part of getting older.

May his memory be a blessing to all that loved him RIP Sean

Damn. So sad and way too early. The first time I met him was 12 years ago at a G&R at Ron's place. He had just gotten a speeding ticket in his 914V8 on the way up from SD. I liked his "out of the box thinking" by accessing the tunnel from beneath rather than tear the interior out of a customer's car to make a repair from inside the cabin.

I am so sorry to hear this. I just spoke with Sean a couple of months ago about rebuilding my engine. I wanted him.to do it as he did awesome work on my previous 914. He didn't take on many new clients and I felt so fortunate to have gotten to know him. He wasn't just my mechanic; he was my friend. I will truly miss him.
