Sean Piche founded the popular furry art sharing platform FurAffinity. He passed away on August 6, 2024, after a battle with a respiratory disease.

Piche, known online as Dragoneer, was deemed a foundational figure in the furry community. He fostered FurAffinity from a struggling art site to a dominant position in the fandom.

He also promoted a companion furcon, FA: United, leading it before its permanent closure due to COVID-19.

FurAffinity launched back in January 2005. It quickly became a popular destination for furries to share their art and connect with others.

Piche’s passing has left many furries concerned about the future of FurAffinity. But, the site’s staff assured users that they are committed to keeping the site running.
