Sean Kimerling, WB11 Sports Anchor dead at 39

[SatCam]

I heard this on WFAN tonight and I was stunned.


We are very sorry to announce the untimely passing of Weekend Sports Anchor Sean Kimerling. At this time, the hearts and prayers of all of us at WB11 go out to his family and loved ones.


Apparently he died from testicular cancer and he didnt even know what it was for a while, he just thought it was back pain.

Have a heart dude. Sean was only 37, personally, I'm stunned and saddened by this guy's death and I didn't even now him.

From today's New York Post:

Wednesday, in a short obituary we wrote about Sean Kimerling, the Channel 11 sportscaster who died Tuesday at the age of 37, we noted that Kimerling, unlike too many on-air people in the TV and radio business, never big-timed anyone.

By week's end, a bunch of people had checked in to let us know that we didn't know the half of it.

Post editor and golf writer Ralph Wimbish played golf with Kimerling, sharing a cart at a media outing, last June. Wimbish, on the 15th tee, discovered that his wedding ring, which he'd removed when applying sunscreen, was missing.

"Sean wanted to stop right there, forget the golf and go back and look for it," Wimbish recalled. "I told him that we'd finish the round, then I'd go look. If it had been found, it had already been turned in, hopefully."

But it wasn't turned in.

"After the round, Sean could've joined the others for food and drinks or whatever else he wanted to do or had to do. But he insisted on helping me look for that ring," Wimbish said. "We found it."

David Oxfeld, currently with MSG Network, two years ago worked as a 21-year-old summer-hire production assistant - a gopher - on a Mets' Channel 11 telecast that included Kimerling as the on-field reporter. The game was delayed by rain.

While Channel 11 aired a sit-com rerun, Kimerling would appear, every now and then, to give an Upd@te from in front of the Mets' dugout. During one of those live shots, Oxfeld was instructed to hold an umbrella over Kimerling's head.

"As he wrapped up his weather Upd@te from Shea," Oxfeld wrote us via e-mail, "he had the [broadcast] truck pan away from the dugout using the center-field camera, showing me holding the umbrella.

"In concluding his report, he said, 'Some are still getting wet out here at Shea. But not me. And not if you have friends to help you out, like my friend, David.' "

Donations in Kimerling's memory can be made to The Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation, 29 Broadway, Suite 1412, New York, N.Y., 10006.

WOW! The New York F'N Post print something incorrect or false??? What's the world coming to??



Seriously, what a shame. I enjoyed his reports on WB11.

I think RF.Net is going to need a "Death of someone famous" topic soon.
