Charles K. Sedgwick 1957-2021

Charles was born June 24, 1957, in Youngstown, a son of Glenn Sedgwick and Sandra Lee Williams.

After graduation from Canfield High School in 1975, he moved to Detroit, Mich., obtaining employment, and eventually moved to Colorado, where he discovered a passion for playing and composing his own music. In 1984, he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue a career in the music industry. After many years of domestic and international travel with world-renowned artists and performers, his continuous love of music led him into various production positions within the industry.

While in San Francisco, Kevin joined IATSE Local 16; being a proud union member, he became the sergeant at arms and local BA for the union and was currently employed with Concept Services of San Francisco, Calif.

Kevin loved sailing in San Francisco Bay and was an avid fan of the San Francisco Giants and the Golden State Warriors.

Kevin had a passion for music and you could always find him playing guitar or participating in a jam session with other musicians.

Following his stay in San Francisco, he returned to Ohio to marry his “One True Love.”

Kevin is survived by “The Love of His Life,” Denise Harnishfeger-Sedgwick, whom he married March 3, 2018; his stepdaughter, Stephanie (Blake) Novotny of Hubbard; his father, Glenn (Ilene) Sedgwick of Canfield; and his mother, Sandra Lee Williams (Gene) of Warren, Mich.
