Sean Speed Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 16, 2026.
Sean Speed, 35, of Dayton, Nevada, passed away on February 7 in Virginia City, Nevada, doing what he loved most.

Sean was born on December 21, 1990, in Redding, California, to Lucy Speed and Gregory Speed.

Sean spent his life deeply connected to his family and his passions. He had a lifelong love for cars and anything with an engine, and he felt most at peace outdoors-on his bike or out on the boat. He was also a founding member of the Sierra Wheelers Off Road Group, helping to build a strong community of like-minded off-roaders who shared his love for adventure and camaraderie. He was known for his unwavering loyalty and genuine compassion. If Sean met you, you weren't just a friend-you were family.

He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Brewer; his daughter, Aryanna Speed; his son, Dash Speed; his mother, Lucy Speed; and his siblings, Lance Speed, Paul Speed, Marc Speed, and Jennifer Fuselier Speed.

Sean was preceded in death by his father, Gregory Speed, as well as Lori Turnipseed, Carol Highinbotham, and Makita.

A celebration of life will be held on March 21 at 12:00 p.m. at the Copperopolis Armory in Copperopolis, and on April 18 at 12:00 p.m. in Dayton (location to be determined). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Speed family at $sbrewer9109 on cash app. Ride in peace Sean Speed we miss you.
