It is with great sadness that we share the news that Stewart “Stu” Sehn has passed away. Stu was one of the founding members of Community Park Little League and dedicated countless hours to the growth and success of baseball within our community. For more than 20 years, he served as Community Park’s Umpire-in-Chief, mentoring young umpires, supporting players and coaches and helping shape the values that Community Park Little League is known for today.
Stu’s commitment to umpiring and Little League Baseball extended well beyond our local community.
Throughout his years of service, he was selected to officiate at several prestigious events, including:
Big League Canadian Championship
Majors Canadian Championship
Seniors Canadian Championship
Alberta Summer Games
Stu also attended the Little League Instructional School in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, demonstrating his dedication to learning, leadership and the development of youth baseball.
While his accomplishments on the field were impressive, those who knew Stewart will remember him most for his willingness to help others, his love of the game and his commitment to the baseball community. He was a mentor, a leader and a friend to many.
We would also like to recognize Stewart’s wife, Sandy, who has been an important part of the Little League family over the years. Together, Stewart and Sandy dedicated countless volunteer hours to supporting players, families, coaches and fellow volunteers. Their contributions helped build the strong and welcoming community that Community Park Little League is today.
Stewart will be deeply missed by all of us throughout Alberta District 2, but especially by the Community Park family, where he played such a significant role for so many years. His legacy will live on through the players he inspired, the umpires he mentored and the community he helped build.
On behalf of Alberta District 2 Little League, we extend our sincere condolences to Sandy, their family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing Stewart.
Thank you, Stewart, for your dedication, friendship and service to the game we all love. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
