Sean McCarthy was born and raised in San Francisco. He was a true child of the 60’s. Always a peacenik, ironically, he served in the US Army in Viet Nam. He served under duress, and after he was discharged, he became a peace advocate, serving jail time for his participation in street theater and demonstrations. Looking for community, he was introduced to Rowland Huddleston, who led him to The Farm in 1972. In the community he became a farmer, a roofer, a plumber, an A/C technician, and a sailor on Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior – he was truly a jack of all trades and loved the outdoors. In his later years, he developed a passion for youth soccer. He refereed games throughout the U.S. as well as in Cuba, Mexico, Norway, Denmark, and Peru. Sean and his wife Pat were happily married for 45 years. To quote Pat, “We had many adventures together – tree-planting, apple-picking, camping, and sailing, to name a few. He was a wonderful person and is missed every day.” Sean and Pat have been loyal Swan Trust supporters for many years.
