Remembering Sequoia

Sequoia lived large and left an impression on the people who knew him. Born in Big Sur, California, he carried a little of that wildness with him throughout his life. He followed in his father’s footsteps to become a lawyer, driven not simply by the profession, but by a genuine desire to help people when they needed someone in their corner. He cared deeply about health and fitness, loved the outdoors, and was happiest among the redwoods. But for all his seriousness and determination, Sequoia never entirely grew up, in the best possible way. He loved video games, wrestling with his kids, laughing, playing and not taking himself too seriously. His life wasn’t always an easy one, and he faced his share of battles, but he loved deeply and found his greatest joy in the people closest to him. He was a father, husband, friend, advocate and, at heart, still a little bit of that wild kid from Big Sur. He was complicated, funny, determined, generous and very much his own person. He will be deeply missed.

Everyone who knew Sequoia knew a different part of him. A different story, a different time in his life, a different reason to laugh, and probably a few things that drove them crazy.

This is a place to bring those pieces together. To collect the stories, photographs, adventures, ordinary moments and memories that made Sequoia who he was.

If you knew Sequoia, please add your piece of his story.
