Sean O'Hara Obituary

Sean Patrick O'Hara Sean Patrick O'Hara, age 67, passed away after a bicycle accident in Redding, CA, on June 13, 2020. Sean was preceded in death by his father Thomas, his sister Lori, and his mother Coral. He is survived by his children, Heather (Marcel) and Spencer (Abigail); his grandchildren, Taylor, Sylvan, and Miles; his brothers, Brian and Timothy (Robin); and his nieces Rebecca and Jamie. Sean was born on January 9, 1953 in San Francisco, CA, to Thomas and Coral (Bartholomew) O'Hara. His family later moved to San Rafael where he graduated from Terra Linda High in 1971. He was married for 10 years, and enjoyed filming and hiking with his two children. Sean drove out to places like Point Reyes to pray and be close to God and he loved immersing himself in spiritual singing. He performed his own vehicle maintenance and he helped his neighbors. Sean's occupations included: computer technician, correctional officer, truck driver, and home health aid. He also cared for his mother before her passing in 2018. Our humble, kindhearted, and playful Dad will be dearly missed. A small service will be held. Contact:[email protected]. To remember Sean, donate to a charity or sing a song that brings you spiritual connection.

I am so sorry I did not know of Sean´s passing (tried to locate him via social media as I did not have other contact info). I met Sean at the correctional academy way back in 1986; he introduced me to the Church of the Open Door in San Rafael, and we were roommates until 1988. He was a great inspiration to me as he helped me get closer to God.
I expect to see him in heaven. Miss you Sean. (If anyone here can contact me regarding where he was living and what he was doing these last 20 years- thank you so much.
