Sean James Palma

Sean, this will make the 12th anniversary of your passing. I still speak of you from time to time with current staff members, people who you never met. I remind them how annoyingly positive you were, always "Living the Dream", despite me needing actual data about how your club was doing that day. I also remember what a loving father you were, kissing your son who wanted to be seen as a man, in public with no consideration of what other people may or may not have thought of your public...

I am so sorry to hear about Sean.He was my best friend in high school.Because of circumstances we grew apart and I moved to Las vegas but I always thought we would get together someday just to talk about where life had taken us.I always remember his quick wit and the ability to see the good side of anyone or anything.Even though we hadnt seen each other for at least 17 yrs I feel a loss. I am so sorry Heather, Fran,and the rest of the Palma family.

It has been a long time since I thought about everyone back in Omaha. I live in Ohio, have 2 daughters from China and my crazy years seem like a distant memory. The kids are in bed, and as a whim I started googling names from my past. I almost fell of my chair to learn of Sean's passing. The last time I saw him was years ago when I showed him my wedding ring during a quick trip home. I ran into him at a steakhouse. Even then it was startling to see such an important person from my past crop...

To the Palma family,
I am in shock and in tears...I just found out tonight about Sean's passing. I met Sean at Gold's gym. I have been a member for almost 3/years and have seen managers come and go. He was the best thing that ever happened to this gym. He was so personable, so genuine, so honest...He cared and he got things done. Like I have read, he always said "he was livin the dream", and he took the time to know your name and greet you personally when you came in. A rare...

I was taught by my grandfather that if it takes more than one hand to count your true friends then you have lived a full life. When my grandfather told me that, it didn't have much meaning, as I was too young and naive for the message to sink in. The older I get, the more meaning that message has.

Sean couldn't have counted all of his friends if he used both hands and feet. Sean was deeply loved by many.

Sean's passing was tragic. He left this world in what were the best of...
