The death of Sanctuary‘s co-founding guitarist Sean Blosl has newly been announced by the band. Blosl served with the Seattle, WA-based thrash metal group from 1985 through to 1990. According to the below post, Blosl‘s death was the result of a vehicle-related accident in Seattle, WA. Here’s what Sanctuary‘s guitarist Lenny Rutledge shared yesterday, December 31st, regarding the passing of his cousin and former bandmate:
“It is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce that Sean Blosl passed away earlier this year. He was involved in a vehicle related accident in Seattle. I have struggled with posting about this news. I am not a fan of the social media death announcements, but I realize that even though I think this is a private family matter, Sean was also a very important part of the Seattle music scene.
Sean was my cousin, but to us we were much more like my brothers. We had a musical dream when we were kids that became a reality. Without Sean by my side I don’t know if I would have had the opportunity to make this musical journey. It is very difficult to sum up a lifetime of love, memories and experiences but I will always remember Sean as an inspiration and a teacher.
RIP Brother. I will see you on the other side.”
