VENTURA, CA In the days after Sean McManamy’s death, his family was still turning to him to find a reason to laugh.
National media just couldn’t seem to get his last name right. McMannany? McMammany? McNammamy?
Some may have found these errors offensive. For this family, it was balm. “He would have had a good laugh about that,” his sister, Casey Parker said. Her first instinct was to call him to tell him all about it but for the first time in her life, she couldn’t.
Sean Michael McManamy was killed, along with four others, in a helicopter crash on Knik Glacier outside Anchorage, Alaska, on March 27, 2021. He was 38 years old.
