April 25th Zimbabwe PH and owner of ZimAfrica Safaris, Sean Steyn dies after a motorcycle accident in Jo-burg. He apparently had and accident while riding his motorcycle and broke his neck and was instantly killed. Sean and I used to be partners a couple of years ago in Zimbabwe, but went our seperate ways, but still considered him a friend. He leaves behind a wife and two young children, and I am sure that they would appreciate your prayers. I do not know what will happen with the ZimAfrica company, but am sure that the manager of the company will continue with business until something is decided by the wife of Sean. Sean was only 34 years old, and this is another reminder to us all how short life can be and we must appreciate everyone and everything we have as we will not have it forever.

I'm really sorry to hear such bad news.
We will pray.

We will do likewise, and say a special prayer for his children and wife too.

That is terrible news. I hunted with ZimAfrica last year and had a great hunt. I was thinking about booking again this year, now I don't know. Tragic. I met Sean and he seemed like a really nice guy.

Having met Sean on only one ocassion, I can't say that I knew him well, but I found him polite and quite likable.. I will pray for him and his family..

Life is precious and we tend to not realise how quickly things can change..He was too young to die, but I am sure many were blessed by his short time on this earth...

If there is any way that I can assist in any way please let me know.

This is horrible news. I just met Sean last month, but he was a good guy. He was extremely concerned and accommodating in wanting to help me get a lion. This was a refreshing contrast to the attitude of some operators in the safari business, and spoke well of his character.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time of their great sorrow.

Will pass your thoughts and concerns onto the family and know they will aprreciate it.

Hi Adam:

That is terrible news about Sean, he and his family are in my prayers. You never know from one minute to the next.

Being a biker for the past 36 years I know only to well how easy it is to get hurt when you hit the ground.

I talked to Jeff Martinell the booking agent for ZimAfrica this morning and he said, at this moment all hunts are still scheduled. I think he was leaving to go over there. I am supposed to be leaving on May 29th to hunt with ZimAfrica and I know more than a few others on here were going after me.

This is a terrible tragedy for his family and business. If you hear any more breaking news please keep me informed.

Regards..... Jim Petriello

I met Sean and thought he was a heck of a good guy. My condolences to his family. As a veteran of 5 motorcycle accidents (on the street), I know that none of us is really in control of our destiny.

My name is Jeff Martinell and I am a booking agent in the U.S.for ZimAfrica Safaris. I am sad to hear of the passing of my good friend Sean Steyn. Our hearts and prayers go out to Rebecca, their children, family and staff. The family would like to thank the hunting community for their support at this time. All hunters should be assured that ZimAfrica Safaris will continue with the business of African hunting.
Life is precious and it can change in an instant. Please pray for the family.

Adam, I'm real sorry to hear about Sean. I met him and his dad after my hunt with Zim Africa last May. I wish his family strength in these hard times.
