On Saturday, March 16th, 2024, our friend and adopted brother, Sean Canon, passed away unexpectedly. His passing occurred. This evening, we are writing to you to verify that he has passed away and to inform you of the news that we have just shared with you. It has taken us a few days to write this because we learned about his passing yesterday evening.
This is because we are personally touched and numbed by this, and it has taken us a few days to write this. From the point of view of the Bronco Nation, he has served as a coach, head coach, and board Vice-President during the course of the majority of the past few years.
When it comes to the Broncos organization and the work that we do, there is no way to quantify the impact that he has had on any of those things. In Bronco Nation, it has already been brought to our knowledge that he functioned as a positive male role model and a father figure to more than just his two sons, Cooper and Jasper, by virtue of his presence and constancy. This is something that has been brought to our attention. In addition to being a father, husband, son, brother, cousin, friend, coworker, and counselor, Sean was a lot of other things to a large number of people both inside and outside of the Southern Marin Broncos Nation.
He was a counselor, a friend, a coworker, and a friend to someone who worked with him. People in the greater Greenbrae and Marin communities are mourning the loss of a truly remarkable guy, in addition to grieving with his family. His family is also suffering.
As a result of the fact that it is surprisingly the final time that the three individuals whom we consider to be the amigos (adopted brothers) will be able to enjoy the field together, we are sharing the photo that is attached. With regard to the Broncos, this is exactly what they are all about. It pulls us all together from the many vantage points in life that we occupy and develops ties that are genuinely significant.
This is something that goes beyond the limitations of the playing field. We had a fantasy that many years from now, Sean and Neil would be somewhere in Marin, and young men and women whom we had influenced would come up to our table, express their gratitude, and share stories about their Broncos experience from their own points of view.
These young people would include both those that we knew personally and those that we did not know personally. in addition to the fact that we would continue to act as their “Coach” It is for this reason that Neil and I will need to keep these kinds of experiences to ourselves in order to be able to share them with the sibling that we have lost on the other side.
I hope that Sean Canon, his brother, has no problems in the future. I would also like to express my condolences to the Canon family as well as to everyone else who has been impacted by this loss. I am sorry for your loss. On behalf of the Broncos, I would like to express that we were saddened by the passing of a lovely person over the course of the last weekend.
A Service and Celebration of Life will be conducted for Sean on Friday, March 22, 2024, from four to six o’clock in the evening.
The Fairfax Pavilion, which can be found at 142 Bolinas Road in Fairfax, California, will be the location of the event. As we contemplate the means by which we might be of service to Kari, Cooper, and Jasper, there will be extra events that will take place throughout this period of mourning.
