Sean Camp Obituary
April 19,1960-March 21,2020
Santa Cruz
Sean was born in Akron, Ohio and lived on the East Coast as a child. He and his family moved to the West Coast when Sean was 10. Throughout his youth he liked to play soccer, graduating from Santa Cruz High, later he played on the UCSC team. His interests varied anywhere from gardening, kayaking, fishing, skiing to boogie boarding and beekeeping among many others.
Sean always had a keen sense of business and in 1989 he established what is now known as Santa Cruz Fireplace and Hot Tub. Since his diagnosis with breast cancer in 2015, his son Chris and his daughter Kate have assisted him in the business. His son Chris will be taking over the family business now after his passing.
Sean found joy in his family, music, and dancing and learned how to live life on his own terms. Sean took great pride in his sobriety throughout the years but always held space for people's life choices. He was a unique individual and enjoyed Burning Man for its enthusiasm of expression and art. He is survived by his children Chris and Kate, mother Sandy, sister Licia, and brother Gregg.
Sean rests at Beit Olam Cemetary in Soquel. Benito & Azzaro's help was appreciated.

I was luck to meet and become friends with Sean while we were teammates on the UCSC Soccer team (back when mastodons roamed the Earth). As anyone who has met him knows, he was a bright and energetic presence and we had a lot of fun both on the soccer pitch and off. I was impressed and proud of his business acumen and later of his sobriety. I am so sad to hear that his light has moved on to brighten other shores but gladdened by its continued reflection in his children and everyones remembrances here.

My deepest condolences to Sean's family. I met Sean the in 2002. His daughter Kate and himself delivered my hot tub the day I bought it. Over the years we have always depended on him for our hot tub and then our fireplace. He called us a few times to get advice concerning his helicopter bill. The last time I saw him, my husband was getting his first chemo treatment and Sean was leaving after seeing his doctor. I was honored to be able to say goodbye to him and to remind him to keep dancing.
