In the early morning hours of January 8, 2023, Sean George Lutkin passed away at the age of 57 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. Sean was born on March 1 1965 to Clyde and Daneen Lutkin in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and was the younger brother to Mark, Laneen and Shannon. Growing up, Sean was a curious fellow who loved learning about the world. He played a mean game of soccer and always had a solid group of friends in the Crescent Heights neighbourhood. Summers and Christmases were often spent visiting family in New Mexico where Sean enjoyed time with cousins at the McMillen ranch near Silver City.

Sadly, Sean was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 15, which stole so much of his life and ambitions. For the last nine years, Sean had been a resident of Saskatchewan Hospital where he received the most attentive and professional care. At the time of his death, Sean was battling severe COPD and lung cancer, which together, took his life.
