Sean Lincecum was the older brother of Tim Lincecum, a former baseball pitcher who played for the San Francisco Giants and won three World Series titles, two Cy Young Awards, and threw two no-hitters.
Sean Lincecum passed away unexpectedly in February 2018, at the age of 37. The exact cause of his death has not been revealed to the public, but he had been struggling with some personal issues before his demise.
Tim Lincecum was very close to his brother, who helped him train and improve his pitching skills. He once expressed his admiration for Sean by wearing the number 44 jersey, which was his brother’s favorite number.
Tim Lincecum has faced another tragedy recently, as his wife Cristin Coleman died of cancer on June 27, 2023. Coleman was a teacher at a primary school in Burlingame, California, and was described by her parents as a beautiful human being who touched many hearts.
The San Francisco Giants and the baseball community have expressed their condolences and support to Tim Lincecum and his family, who have endured two devastating losses in the span of five years.
