Dear Friends,
This is a time of great mourning for each of us because Senan’s presence touched us without respect of person. He was kind, fair, humble and a model Jedi. We will all miss him deeply.
Senan’s battle with cancer was a wonder to watch through the journal he kept “Senan’s Health Journey”. Through this trial we saw hope, resolve and a commitment to the Jedi way and in that we were inspired to be better Jedi.
He had a quiet and sure way of leading. The impact he had on us as a Teaching Master, Knight, Security Officer and Councillor is one that cannot be matched and one that will be sorely missed, but the lessons he taught us as a friend, even in times of struggle, are one’s we will remember and return to.
I won’t pretend to know what Senan might say to you all on this day of great sadness, so I am drawing from his wisdom through his sermons:
“... it is important to have faith in something. Even if it is only in our fellow human beings, we need to include faith in our lives. It provides meaning and context to a life that would otherwise be random and chaotic.”
-”No, But I Have a Good Idea”, 28 March 2018
“Be your genuine self! Allow others to be themselves as well. Do not despair when others do not act the way you would have them act. Rejoice in the fact that they are a part of your Path, but also able to experience their own.”
-”On Being Genuine,” 14 February 2018
“It is incumbent upon us, those who walk the path of a Jedi, to always observe the connection we have with all things. We are instruments of peace and we serve others, not because we are rewarded with strokes to our egos, but because it makes the universe a more harmonious place.”
-”Ego Yet Humility Senan Concept” 31 May 2017
“I encourage everyone willing to listen, make the sacrifices you must, but find and follow your bliss. Seek it with your whole heart. Help others to find theirs as well. Do not be afraid. Do not waste another moment asking yourself if the sacrifice is worth it. Follow your bliss. We will all be better for it, and always remember, the Force is with us.”

May the Force Be With You All

Senan set a beautiful example for me on how to be fully alive and chronically sick 
He had every right to maintain his privacy with regards to his illness, but he had the courage to share. That was something I really needed to see. His courage in doing that left me in awe. It helped me to open up about my experiences with my partner and family. It has taken a whole temple of Jedi to do that too; but his example was a really grace filled one.
Thank you Steve. I can only hope to pay you back by spreading what I can of your example in my own way. Thank you.
