R.I.P. Sean Martin

[RAMWolff]

We lost one of our own this morning. Sean Martin passed quietly in his sleep. Complications of cancer.

The Daily Cartoonists, a newsletter that I subscribe to, posted a very nice article about Sean!

Rest IN Peace Sean!

RIP – Sean Stephane Martin

Oh no. Sorry to hear that.

OMG, and he had a really nice render in the Stay Home Spread Hope Render Challenge. Goodness, I'm used to seeing his cartoons on the Renderosity forum from time to time.

R.I.P. Sean.

Moving this over to the Condolences and Sympathy forum.

This is so sad. I've known Sean for almost 9 years . Such a loss - he was a very very talented man.

So sad. I remember his presence in the Freebie Challenge thread over at DAZ3D forums...when music2u4u ran the challenges. He was always friendly and clever.

I'm sorry to hear he passed. Anyone know how old he was?

 

[Miss B]

According to the pic in the article Rich linked to in the first post, I would guess at least in his late 50s, or early 60s.

Wow. I’m so sad to hear this. Sean has been around in the 3D community since way, way back in the early 2000s when we spent a lot of our time in the Renderosity forums arguing about the virtues of NVIATWAS and other fun topics. We didn’t always see eye to eye but I really appreciated his perspective and the gift he had for telling stories with his comics and other works. Rest In Peace, Sean.

I will miss him, here, on facebook and most of all at KCTC.
The adventures of Doc and Raider, his gentle sense of humor, his warm personality.

Obituary for Sean Stephane Martin | McClure Funeral Service

He only lived in the next county over from me. Wish I had known. I would have introduced myself. Also, I'm having a bit of a dilema, as I want to announce his passing in the Renderosity forum but I'm afraid someone (I won't say who) would just delete it as they did the last time I made such a post. I'm gonna sit this one out.

OK, so I was off a little on my guess of his age. Then again we don't know when that picture of him was taken.

 

[eclark1894]

Well, he was older than me, so I think he had a good run.

 

[DanaTA]

69 is way too young these days!

Dana

 

[eclark1894]

Must be me then.

 

[Miss B]

By today's standards, and if your health is fairly decent, then yes 69 is young. Unfortunately, Sean was suffering from Pancreatic Cancer, and that's never encouraging.

If this is the thread I think you mean, that was originally posted in the Poser forum, it wasn't deleted, it was moved to the community center as it was not about poser
Edit: this one? R.I. P. Bonnie Pointer

Really saddened by this loss

I've 'known' Sean from daz forums for many years. He will be missed.
