Reaction on the social media
It is with a very heavy heart that I make this post. I am sad to report that @ifbbproseanharris has passed away. He was involved in a single car accident, falling asleep behind the wheel…he hit a tree. He was mere days away from doing the Tampa Pro.
I met Sean a couple of times at @bevsgym this year and had one very good conversation with him about training and his plans for this season. As huge and intimidating as Sean was, he was just about as kind as a guy could be. We’d both been following each other here for quite some time. My friends @dieseldolls and @darahnycole will be doing a fundraiser to help Sean’s wife and children. I will be sharing all the information here. My thoughts and prayers go out to Sean’s wife, children, extended family and to his many friends and fans. Rest In Peace, Sean. #SeanHarris #RIP

I didn’t know Sean personally, but my dear friends Nancy and Ron Noreman have often spoke glowingly about his kindness and his dedication to his family. He once appeared on a video we shot at the East Coast Mecca, a glimpse of Sean doing what he loved to do. My heart goes out to his family during this incredibly difficult time.
