He was simply a great human being and a great contributor to this site and our sport.

He's dead, don't think I will be having any further conversations with him

[Seeker]

In the arena of wildlife conservation, there are few that have influenced me more than that man. I am sure even he was not aware of how deep it ran. I can only hope to continue his passion and ensure there are many "slayers" to come...
RIP Coach!

[campking]

Very sorry to here that.

Thanks for the update Ourea, much appreciated.

I didn’t know Coach personally but did converse with him on here on a few occasions and he always came across as a real stand-up guy. I’m sure he will be sorely missed by all his friends and family.

RIP Coach.

[labguy]

A first class human being........

Yes, he was.

[willyqbc]

My thoughts are with his family today. He will be missed by our little virtual family here on HBC.

Happy hunting Coach.....

[MB_Boy]

Sad to hear and condolences to his family; he really did come across as an overly stand up guy.

One of the good ones.

[Knute]

Sad news, Coach projected as a thoughtful and sensible poster. He has been and will be missed.

RIP

[Brno22F]

Sad news indeed. My sincere condolences to Coach's family and to all his friends and acquaintances here on HBC.

[hunterdon]

What a loss! Very sad to hear. Way too young. I did have the pleasure to meet him in person at the Kelowna rally a few years back. Truly a really good guy and leader who contributed to this site in a big way. He will be missed.

My sincere condolence to the family.

[lovemywinchester]

Sad news. He's around my age. That's tough. My condolences to his family and to you Ourea.

[J_T]

Condolences to you and his family Dave. Anytime a good person leaves this earth early is a sad day. Hopefully wildlife numbers are trending upwards wherever Coach is now.

[huntcoop]

Sean was a standup guy willing to help anyone, I'm sure he's walking down a freshly mowed fairway now...

[IronNoggin]

Damn. Very SAD news.
He was a hell of a fine Man, and one who always focused on our sport in the right way.
Had a few chats with him over the years, and was impressed every single time.
Sincere Condolences to his Family & Friends!
Taken far before his time...

RIP Sir!

Sadly,
Matt

[Bugle M In]

Thats some sad news right there.
I remember him being very helpful in may ways.
I recall him helping folks with info on the LEH sheep hunt around Kammi for anyone that needed help.
Sorry to hear that and my condolences to the family.
Sorry you lost a friend there Ourea.

[wideopenthrottle]

sorry to hear the sad news...I hope all the best for his family

Always a steady hand/head here at HBC

R.I.P. Sean
I will miss our hunts together, especially the one we took your daughter on.
That one goes down as my favorite I've ever been the part of. Thank you.
For Tracey and the kids...I am so sorry...Sean was my friend and a good man. His biggest joy in life was his family. All else was secondary.
If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to call. I will reach out to you soon.
Thinking of you all and my friend, I miss him.
Sincerely, Rick

[one-shot-wonder]

BC's golfing, fishing and hunting community lost a good one yesterday, his family and friends lost a trustworthy and standup gentleman....Sean will surely be missed :-(

For those that had the pleasure to meet him, what a gentleman, a class person inside and out.
He was a great mentor to many for his love of fish, wildlife, the great outdoors, always lead by example. And yes a great Coach
Condolences to his family and many friends.
Sean ..... COACH will be missed RIP .

My condolences to family and friends .

RIP Sean . Was never a bad day when you were around the crew .

[300H&H]

I stopped by to see Seans wife, Tracy today.
She is doing as well as can be expected. As are the kids.
She mentioned that it was her and Seans desire to bring together family and friends to celebrate and remember him at a later day, after Covid has passed and we can safely gather.
Tracy did want me to say "thank you" and that she is grateful to all that have reached out to her, posted on social media, and have her and the kids in their thoughts. She is such a gracious lady.
Talking to her, like now... I am tearing up. Heaven is a better place today with Sean in it.

Thanks for this. Very touching.

I only had a few messages with Coach. Sure seemed like an honest and genuine guy, and clearly the case.

Condolences to you, all his friends, and so importantly his wife, children and the rest of his family. My thoughts are with all.

RIP Sean, and thank you.

[The Hermit]

Way way too young. Condolences to his family.

[cameron0518]

Sorry to hear about his passing. RIP Coach

[Jagermeister]

Whether we knew him personally or not, the one thing we know is that we lost a very good friend. A valiant crusader for the resident hunting community and an advocate for fair treatment of the fellow hunter afield.
Knowing that you rest in peace Coach. So long, 'til we meet in the bye and bye.
I extend my sincere condolences to Tracey, their children, extended family and close friends.

[Stone Sheep Steve]

The world was a better place because of Sean.
He earned the respect of so many people in so many fields. He was not just a great representative of an outdoorsman, golf coach, chef, father, husband but of a great human being.

He will be dearly missed.
My sincerest condolences to Tracey and the kids.

Sad day for the hunting community
Happy hunting!

I always liked his posts, and now that I've learned a bit more about him reading all these posts, he sounds like one heck of a guy...condolences to his family and friends

[Sitkaspruce]

Rest in Peace Sean. You will truly be missed by many.

Thanks for your insight, guidance and leadership!

Will have a toast for you tonight!

SS

Thanks Dave for letting us know, take care!

[Salty]

I can't really think of anyone on this board that has done more for our at times threatened hunting and outdoor ways of life than Coach. I'm glad I got to meet Coach briefly on the lawn at the BC Leg actually after he had just given a speech that blew any and all of the politicians' out of the water. A class act, gentleman and a very wise man he will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family and his close friends. RIP Coach I hope there's booner 5x5s and an eagle every hole where you are now.

[eric]

My youngest son took some golf lessons from Coach.
One hell of a super guy.

R.I.P Coach

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Coach, I recall a more than a few high quality threads, and always enjoyed his classy posts. I thought he was a young(er) fellow, and while I don’t know any details (or need to know, for that matter), I do know that life is often too short; way to short to waste on chasing only the almighty dollar, or to put off what’s really important in life until later. I’m becoming acutely aware of this, partly by my own father’s recent passing at the age of 67.

RIP Sean, I know I missed you when you were no longer an active member here, and that’s only a faint shadow of what the ones close to you must be feeing now.

When coach and I were on one of our first hunts together, sitting by the fire after a 2hr pack in. I asked him what defines a person in life. He said without pause.....you are either a taker or giver in life was his response. Right answer as I firmly believe life is based on what a person contributes, not what you take. Based on that understanding of a mutually shared core value system we became very good friends, very good friends.

People like Sean are few and far between , I have been blessed with sharing a campfire or two with " Coach" and a few of his and my best and closest friends and very lifelong buddy's .

Thanks for all your help Sean ... you will be missed.

Very sad, way too early and reading the obituary he was a great guy.
I am now living in the 100 Mile House area and I too have cancer issues.
I would like to stick around for a little longer, but will see.

I hope you beat it.
You have a lot more hunting to do. ;)

[jeff341]

Sad news. I had no idea Sean's user name was Coach. Turns out we worked together for a season a LML golf course. I remember he would outplay members with nothing but a 7 iron and a putter....

I always read his posts, he always had something constructive to say.

[Ourea]

This time of yr Coach and I would be on fire with texts and lining a hunt up, reviewing cam intel for elk.
Just so sad to see him gone.

He was such a good man.
Tip of the hat to a wonderful human being.

[REMINGTON JIM]

May Coach RIP ! RJ

I haven't been on the forum for a while, but am saddened to see this. I enjoyed his contributions and can tell from this post I am not alone. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Coach, I am missing your company so much this time of year.
You would be rolling in to my place this time of yr to kill a few white tail.

I still honor your memory and respect your contributions to wildlife, family and friends.
You were a special human being.

God bless

To Coach, you are missed.
You had so much more to give in life. You contributed so much in your time spent on earth.
As stated, you are so missed.

Life takes some of the best early yet leaves some of the worst.
Thank you for your contributions in life and community.

Just a simple shout out to a very special man.
