I can still hear Sean's voice in my head with his rendition of Scooby Doo "Raggy?....Ah hehehehehe!". His voice made you laugh so hard when he did this that it took you out of this world and it's problems for a little while so you could breathe and smile. Miss you Sean and sleep well.

I , as many of us here, will be looking forward to seeing Sean again. For noone this good can be kept out of Heaven. To say He will be missed is only scratching the surface of what is meant.

Sean must have been as great of a person out of game as he was in, for all of us to care this much about his passing. I deeply regret not knowing Sean/Mack in real life. He was a wonderful person who knew how to light up a room up.

May you rest in peace... ner vod

Mack/Sean was a good guy, he could always put a smile on somebody's face, always full of life.
I'll miss you buddy

Sean/Mack,
We may have 'only' known each other in an online game, but that doesn't diminish the sense of loss at all. Obviously my memories are built around that gaming experience in SWG, but they have plenty of gravitas when it comes to you. Way out-there RP was what brought you onto my radar to begin with. I'd made fun of it privately, but something told me you were somebody to keep an eye on. It didn't take long after those first few eye-opening sessions for a friendship to develop between us, and that's what I find myself missing now. The respect you showed to everyone you interacted with. The joy of performing, or swinging a saber, or patrolling the cantina with TK. You were fun to watch, and fun to be around. Save an utozz for me when the time comes, I imagine we'll both have a few more stories to tell.

Hilary,
Those of us out here in the digital realm didn't know Sean quite the way you did. I can only hope that these expressions of sorrow from 'out here' tell you you're not alone in this loss. My deepest sympathies and condolences for you now and in the days ahead.

What can I say that hasn't already been said by all of the others? I didn't know him well, but even as an acquaintance I could tell that Sean (Mack) was a caring, empathetic person who was loyal and kind. I only wish that I had had the opportunity to know him better. God bless you in your time of grief and loss.

Sean (Mack) was definitely one of the best people that I've had the privilege of getting to know on SWG. My thoughts go out to his friends and family during this hard time.

To Fred, Autumn, Leora, Jennifer, and the rest of Sean's family:
I knew Sean as my great friend Peggy's younger brother when we lived in Erie, and remember him as being very cute & silly as a youngster. Our parents were good friends years ago, & I still keep in touch with Peg regularly. I am saddened to hear of his untimely passing. I will remember him in my daily prayers.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do from down here in Florida.

I only knew him as Mack on SWG, and will miss his seemingly eternal presence there.

Dear Sean,
You were always a true friend. Back in the Verion days you were always there for me... whether I needed a shoulder to cry on, a good talk, or we were just hangin out, drinkin or playin You Dont Know Jack. I will never forget all the laughter we shared or your contagious smile. You will always be remembered in my heart.
"Perhaps they are not stars in the skies but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."
Hilary and family.... you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Im so sorry for your loss.

Sean was a dear friend in Star Wars Galaxies and I will miss him. I will always remember the single white roses he handed me. I carry his memory in my heart so he is never far. My thoughts go to his family and close friends. Just know that his online friends were true friends and if there is anything we can do, please let us know.

To Sean's Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I grew up with Sean on the west side of town until my parents moved. I still kept in touch with him over the years and would run into him now and then. He was a great guy and friend. I had alot of respect for him over the years. My brother and I looked up to him when we were growing up. He was influential to us both. God Bless to all of his family...Tom Pursell

Hillary,

I am touched by all the love expressed for you and Shawn in this guest book. It's so important to embrace each and every word at a time like this.

When my husband died, so many people came forward to share wonderful stories about him and his influence in their lives. Each one became a treasure to me. I will always cherish them.

May God's presence be your strength now and in the days to come.

Sympathy and warmest regards,
Linda
