Sean's mother Mary Hobbs confirmed his death to the U.S. Sun . She recounted the horrifying moment, explaining that at the time, he was moving the ATV from one parking spot to another for her so she could get back into the park.
When Sean was pulling in front of her to park the four-wheeler, the ground "gave away" underneath him from rain and mud following storms in the area. The ATV then flipped and "crushed" Sean's skull leaving him trapped underneath.
Once she realized it was her son, she ran to seek help. She told the news outlet: "I ran to neighbors trying to get someone to help me get the ATV off of him. No one answered. I ran back to him. By that time, I realized he wasn't alive anymore."

She continued to recount the heartbreaking moment, explaining that without any help, she wasn't able to move the four-wheeler and save her son herself. She then immediately called for emergency help and "just laid next to him until the ambulance showed up."
Mary said that the accident took place as he and his mother had returned from a car dealership together. She explained that their plan was to purchase a car so Sean would be able to pay a visit to his four-year-old daughter Dareli and two-year-old daughter Esmi in Colorado where his ex-girlfriend Selena was living. They "never made it back to the dealership."
Sean and Selena previously starred on season 6B of 16 and Pregnant back when Selena fell pregnant with his baby at a young age.
