Sean was a social justice activist who was part of SHARE (Seattle Housing and Resource Effort) from its earliest years. Projects and organizations he had a hand in include Tent City 3, Tent City4, Nickelsville, El Centro de la Raza, the SHARE Bunkhouse and Cafe Red. He was loved by many, many people and did much good work in this world. He is missed beyond measure.
