Visit the East Lawn Elk Grove Mortuary website to view the full obituary.

    Sebastian V. Sierras passed on January 2, 2025 after bravely battling glioblastoma for almost 2 years. 

    Sebastian was born on October 20, 2004, the beloved firstborn to Kemi and Virgilio Sierras. He was the caring big brother to Sophia and Matteo. 

     He was kind and made friends easily. Sebastian was athletic and played sports growing up, while also doing well in school. He was planning a career in healthcare before his diagnosis. 

    When asked about his greatest achievement, Sebastian attributes graduating from high school while undergoing brain surgery and cancer treatments. Walking on stage to receive his diploma just the day after his last radiation treatment was his proudest moment. 

    Sebastian made an instant impact on everyone who met him. His family and friends miss him dearly. 

    He will remain the brightest light in their lives as he lives now in their hearts. 

    In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society to support cancer research.
