Memorial Tonight For Kaiser Vallejo Doctor Killed In Fiery Crash

VALLEJO, CA — When Dr. Ethan Sellers was killed in a fiery crash in Dublin on the Fourth of July, Kaiser patients and the entire community lost a man with "a infectious personality; a love for life, and he really cared about the community around him," said Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center Family Residency Program Director Ted O’Connell. Sellers, 29, was a newly minted doctor who had just graduated from the residency program on June 30, O’Connell told the Times-Herald.

A memorial for Sellers will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 9 at Kaiser Vallejo, 975 Sereno Dr. It is open to the public. There is a condolence book available for members to sign at the main volunteer station.

"He was a gifted physician and would have been a brilliant palliative care physician," O'Connell said. "The world lost a wonderful spirit; a gifted physician who was just beginning his career."

Both Sellers and his passenger Matthew McEnerney died when Sellers' car smashed into a pole and burst into flames. Emergency responders tried to save the men but it was too late.

The Dr. Ethan Sellers Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established in his memory. Send donations to Kaiser Vallejo, attention: Elizabeth Kleier, 975 Sereno Drive, Vallejo, CA, 94589.
