A message from the parents of Sean E. Wang
We are very comforted, touched and grateful after seeing so many online memories shared by Sean’s friends.
As Sean’s parents, we know him mostly as a dear son with lots of his own persistence and style. We want him to enjoy life in his own way and have a positive impact on his friends and communities. It seems that he did, in his short 38 years of life. We are very sad but feel grateful, too.
We know that many of his friends are concerned about what happened. We only have limited information. Sean left us without warning. In his last week, he had a fever on Monday and it was gone by Wednesday, but body and eye pain followed. The doctor could not find any cause, and thought it was “virus syndrome”. We found him in his apartment on 5/23 after his boss alerted us. We believe he passed away of heart failure on 5/19, but we are still waiting for the coroner’s official report.
We sincerely welcome his friends come to say goodbye to him. We do not have any dress code, except no shorts and no reddish clothes please. Blue and gold, UCLA T-shirts, etc. are very much appreciated.
We are planning to set up a memorial scholarship fund with the UCLA Statistics Department, a good suggestion from some of you.
Sean's parents
