Obituary

Sean Gerald Daly of Ojai, California passed away at home surrounded by his family on June 23, 2017, his 53rd birthday, after an almost 3 year journey with cancer. Sean was born in Santa Monica, Ca. to Gerald and Bridget Daly, and was raised in Pacific Palisades. He attended Corpus Christi Catholic School, Palisades High, and he graduated from UCLA in 1987 with a BA in English literature. Sean was a talented athlete, excelling at soccer in high school and played at San Francisco State. He was a gifted writer and a dedicated family man. Sean and his wife Deirdre raised four children. Sean’s family and friends meant everything to him. He loved barbecuing, surfing, reading, hiking and all things soccer. Sean will be remembered for his ability to converse and connect with almost everyone he met. Sean touched and influenced many lives through his writing, and through his almost 20 year association with Alcoholics Anonymous. Sean was deep, quiet, kind, sincere and quick to laugh. He will be dearly missed by the many lives he touched in his 53 years.
He is survived by his wife Deirdre Daly, his children - Niamh, 27, of New York City; Sarah, 25 of Ojai; Angela, 23, of San Francisco; and Conor, 21, of Ojai; his three brothers, Tim Daly, of Alamo, CA; Kevin Daly, of London, England; and Terry Daly, of Portland, Oregon, his sister-in-laws and many nieces and nephews.
