RCheli Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) It's with my deepest sadness that I have to share that "bird" -- Sean Wasielewski -- passed away suddenly on Wednesday. He was a man with many opinions, and he and I had some great discussions about comics and life over the years both here and -- even better -- face-to-face. I spoke with his wife earlier today and she let me know that a service will take place soon, although they don't have the details yet. I suspect it will be near the shore in Jersey where he lived, and I'll post that information here when I get it. Along with his wife, he had two lovely daughters.

comix4fun Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Oh man, this is a shock. Sean and I alternatively agreed and disagreed on tons of original art topics, but he was a guy that could do that and still stay fun and positive. He was a relatively young guy too. How horrible for his family. jimjum12, sledgehammer and Bronty 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Very sad. I won one of his Raffle prizes a few years back. We communicated a bit about that. RIP jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Oh man. Terrible news. I met Bird when he picked my raffle prize a few years back. Since we are both in NJ we decided to meet up at a local show instead of shipping the prize out. Had a great time talking with him and sharing comic book stories. When I saw this thread my heart sank and was hoping it was not this. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Oh geez this sucks. I only “knew” him through his posts, but we lost a great, active fun boardie. RIP Sean. Rafe, thanks for letting us know and condolences to the family. Didn’t they buy a new house within the last couple years? I think there was a recent (local) move. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I had noticed that he hadn't typed as much lately. I bought my FF #45 first inhumans from him, complete with a back cover date stamp of 1965. Fair man with the frow avatar @Bird see you in Heaven one day!
