Sean, I think of you and your bravery every year on this day and other days in between. You were such a kind hearted person and a great friend! When I think back to junior high and high school my memories are filled with laughs and uplifting conversions, the real kind, nothing surface. Although we had lost touch after high school my tears still fall thinking of your short life but I'm reminded of the person you were. How deeply you loved people and I'm comforted my these words, "John 15:13 ESV Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." I pray more people be the type of friend you were and have the type of friend you were. You are a blessing in my life Sean. Enjoy the life we are all meant to live bud! You are missed!

10 years ago Nov 7 we lost a very good man! Sean you laid down your life for others. Heaven gained and we lost!

To Sean and family. I've been wearing the black wrist band that you gave out to the public during the "Run for the Fallen" in Brentwood in 2012. Just so you know Sean, you're not forgotten. Everyday I look at the remembrance on my wrist and think of you. As a member of Warriors' Watch Riders, thank you for service.

I am currently deployed and every time I put on this uniform i think of men like Sean who also wore it.

Sean,
You are such an inspiration to all of us still here on earth. We know you are with your lord and savior Jesus Christ. We have lost a few family members recently Danielle and Tom just the past 2 months. Christians have the greatest hope of any as we will see all those who left before us. Sean thank you for who you were to my niece Jessica. Zoe looks so much like you both. Jessica I'm sure still misses you and wonder what if every day. But she is as happy as I have seen in a long time since you left us. Say hi to Danielle and my Uncle Tom. Please put in a good word for me Mitchell and Lisa to the big man upstairs. We love and miss you. Special blessing today to all those servicemen and women, their friends and family. We can't say enough how much you mean to us as free Americans. Many don't realize how they are free because they have never had anything to fight for that they believe in that much.
God Bless Seam, Jessica and Zoe today!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Langevin Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Sean A. Langevin US Army Corporal. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.

Sean,
Ive been thinking about you a lot lately and still can't believe your gone. You were my best friend and the hairiest bear I knew ;) I'll never forget you and I will always miss that laugh and that huge smile. You were a stellar husband, soldier and friend and I am proud to have known you for the short time I did! When I float through life, I think of you when I make decisions in my life. What would he think, say, or do in my situation. You had a maturity about you beyond your years! But also a kid inside you too!. I love you and I will never get over you being gone! But I can live with the fact that we all have an angel on our side! Your wife and daughter are doing great and I know you have everything to do with that! Your dearly missed and will never be forgotten! Meeeooooooowww;)

I was pleased and proud to see the Gold Star Families at the Veteran's Day Parade in Pleasanton last Sunday. When I spotted the unmistakable patch of the 173D Airborne Brigade, The Sky Soldiers, on Sean's shirt that his Mom was wearing, the ceremony became even more personal. Although I am old enough to be his Grandfather, Sean is my brother. As a Veteran who fought as a member of the 173D during the Vietnam War, please know that I share your grief and your pride on this, the fourth anniversary of the day that Sean died for his country.

May I offer the following, a Soldier's Prayer -

"He shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary him, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember him".

With warmest regards,

One of my favorite pictures

Dan Freeman

December 10, 2009

Hi everyone who loved Sean,

When I remember Sean and see a picture like this it is bitter-sweet.
Bitter because when we have family events, he's not there, he is missed and the event is ALWAYS somewhat incomplete.
Bitter because of the hurt that is felt by all who knew Sean. The level of hurt I can't imagine for those closest to him. Jessica, Scott and his parents.
Bitter as we have many thoughts of what could have been & what if's. But the sweet overpowers the bitter and nothing will ever change that.
Sweet is the love Jess and he had and it will never end.
Sweet is that Sean is and will always be a part of this family.
Sweet is Sean's family and friends are and will always be intertwined with ours and that bond will never be broken.
Sweet is the memories of Sean like in this picture showing us how to be happy way more than the normal person. What a neat guy!
Sweet is the way I now see all past and current and future service men and women. Memorial day and veterans day will never be the same. The pride and bond I have & Sean's family/friends have now regarding service to country is unbreakable.
Sweet is the love Jessica received, had and has for/from Sean. It is always there. Just because he isn't here doesn't mean that love is any less.
Sweet because we get to see Zoe who is in the image of Sean. Just as Jessica is definitely the image of her monther Cynda. Cynda and Sean have passed but our memories and their children are constant reminders that make us smile even more when we see them.
It is sweet to know Sean had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Heaven is described as: A place of perfect happiness and eternal communion with God.
It is sweet to know Sean is there.
Acts 2 24-28
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. David said about him: "I saw the lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body will also live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your holy one see decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence."
Death has no power over the redeemed!
Merry Christmas and God bless!

My name is Jeanie Neumer, Jessica Grandmother on her mothers sida (Cinda)
We love Sean even more today. Our loss of him is very hard. We understand because we lost Jessica mom (Cinda)in 1994 when Jessica was 11 yrs old.
I have a sweet story to tell you, and you can believe me or not, but this happened to me on that first Sunday after Sean death and I will never forget it.
I didn't put my flag out after Sean died because I was feeling extremely angry. Something kept eating at me to put my flag back out everyday again. I kept saying NO! On the third day I took my flag out and put it up I turned around and sat on my front stept. I looked up and there was Sean standing there by my flag with his huge smile on his face and saluting to me in his uniform. I saw him as clear as day for about a good 5 seconds. It blew me away. My anger went away and I knew he was with God. Before he left I made him promise me when he came home to make sure he came to see me. He kept his promise to me. That's the first thing I though of when I saw him standing by my flag. His promise to me. Now I'm told that little baby Zoe acts and looks just like Sean. Sean also told me he wanted Jessica to get pregnant before he left so if any thing happened to him there would be a part of him still here living on.
It was a wonderful moment I had with Sean. I will never forget that special 5 seconds I had with him, it was precious. Our Sean is a true hero and he always wil be,
Love, Larry & Jeanie Neumer
We love you Sean.

Sean, to say you had a magnetic personality is a gross understatement. Anyone who talked to you for just a couple of minutes wanted to be in your presents at all times. I can't wait for the day that I once again am taken by your aura... My love goes out to your families whom I have had the greatest pleasure to meet. And mostly Jess and Zoe.

It has been 2 years of missing Sean and living with the fact of how much he has blessed our lives both in life and death. We affirm on the anniversary of Sean's passing to never let his life and sacrifice fade from our family. In this commitment it's just like yesterday that a very brave hero paid the ultimate price for our way of life. How can we ever forget that. Love to all the Langevins and Freemans today and always.

November 9, 2009

Sean, we miss and love you so very much! It's been two years since you've been gone and it seems like only yesterday when we attended your beautiful wedding. Your memory will always be fresh in our hearts and mind because of the beautiful legacy you left behind. Your daughter, Zoe is a spitting image of you and such a joy to our family and Jess is so dear to us. Being in Jess' house, surrounded by memories of you brings us comfort that a part of you is always there with us. Thank you for your great sacrifice! May God bless your family and bring them peace in knowing that you have eternal life in Heaven and someday they (and all of us) will be reunited with you. With much love,

Paul Rife

Sean,
It has been a year since you have been taken away from all of us... Your Family, your friends, and your loved ones. I have known you since we were young, and I will always cherish all of our memories that we had together, the Friday night round table get togethers in middle school, and all the memorys following throughout highschool. You were a great friend!
You always had the biggest smile that would brighten anyones day. You are deeply missed today, yesterday and always!

In Memory of Sean ~ (Debra Estep)

November 13, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Sean, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Sean, your family and friends were so proud of you. You always knew how to make people laugh and you never let anyone down. You were a role model and hero to many, especially Scott. He idolized and respected you; wanted to be just like you. Your life has impacted and influenced numerous people. Baby Zoe will learn about you and the amazing person that you were; Jessica and your family will make sure of that. Even though she will not be able to see you, I know you will be looking down on her, watching her grow, and guiding her through life; doing all that you can to keep her safe. Everyone is going to stay strong for you. You will be tremendously missed. We all love you so much Sean.May you forever rest in peace. <3
PS. ill never forget how you "TRIED" to get me to watch hockey and learn about it...ya, that didnt work too well. haha. and how you couldnt mimic how I was so good at putting whipped cream in my pickles!.. good times sean.

Dear Langevin family. When I heard this sad news, the name Langevin was familiar to me as a member of the Human Resources commnity. But visiting St John this weekend and talking with friends from Youth Group, I realized it was Sean who has had a very special place in my heart ever since we were on St John retreat together years ago. At that time, I immediately felt a special connection to this boy with the twinkle and smile. I had just lost my youngest son Sean and joined the group as a leader to get through my grief. Sean and I with a few other kids ended up spending one evening on that retreat in a small quiet cabin in very deep cnoversation about spirit, life, regrets, hopes and so many other things. I remember that some of his comforting comments to me about my loss were so important in the healing process. Beneath that quick humor he was sensitive beyond his years. I told my husband how I had met this special boy named Sean and I thought God had sent him to me. The lst time I saw him was investibule of St Johns and he gave me a hug.It breaks our hearts to lose a son but he will always be in your heart and live through your grandchild. God bless all of your family.

He is leaving to go back to Afghanistan tomorrow morning and wanted to pay his respects. We are trying to find out where Sean is. I am so very proud of your son, and I pray for daily strength for your family. Sean is my hero and is watching over all of us in Heaven. God Bless

Sean is gone but never far away

Barely older than a teenager Sean made plans as young men do
He joined the army for his family, faith & country too
Married his sweetheart Jessica soon after that
They moved to base camp in Italy and laid out a welcome mat

They knew that call up day was coming soon so they decided to start
A family of their own, a little one with a God loving heart
Zoe was created by God as part of his ultimate plan
What a precious and beautiful gift to a woman and a man

PLAY CHORUS

I'm wondering why it happened during that November Afghanistan day
His adult life was just beginning, when it all went away
Protecting us all while in a village, in a country that he didn't really know
When I think about his sacrifice, my pride continues to grow

PLAY CHORUS

Although I try to hate the men who took our good friend
I do understand God has his own plans for them all in the end
I sure do miss that kind and gentle man each and every day
But I know I’m gonna see him again on God's Independence Day

Chorus:
He lived for his friends & family & his unborn child,
His country, his beliefs and his faith in God
Everyone he left behind has been deeply changed by his life
A brilliant blue-eyed smiling man in this world of strife
Sean is gone but never far away, Zoe you are a part of him and he was a hero
(Last Chorus change last line to: Sean is gone but never far away and don't ever forget Zoe you are a part of him and he was a hero)

Dear Roxanne, Drew, Scott, Jessica and Zoe,
Our family is so saddened to hear of the passing of Sean. As parents of two, we cannot imagine the heartbreak you feel of losing one. But know in your hearts that Sean was a real hero to you and to all of us. We remember when Sean, Scott and Christopher would play in the court when we would visit Tony and Josephine. Christopher recalls how much fun he had,too. John and I had the chance to talk to Drew a month or so back and he was so proud of Sean and Scott and the new Granddaughter that was coming. We talked about kids nowadays and their plights in life. All good of course!
We know we have lost touch over the years, but please know that Sean will be in our memories always, and we are praying for all of you to have the strength to endure and heal. No matter how long it takes.
Take care of each other,
With sincere sympathy,
John, Cindy, Alyssa and Christopher Milina

As I recall my time growing up with Cub Scout meetings at the Langevin home I can’t remember a meeting where Sean wasn’t there poking fun at us younger scouts just learning the basics. I remember how much we all looked up to him and secretly wanted to be like him. When it came time to move on from cub scouts to Boy Scouts my father and I decided to move to Troop 444 where Sean and Scott were. There Sean was a leader in the troop and we all looked up to him. I will always remember Sean. My heart goes out to the Langevin’s especially Scott for the loss of your brother. Know I am praying for all of you!

Rox, Drew, Scott, Jessica & Baby Langevin –

Last night as I was decorating the Christmas tree, I came across the starfish ornament Rox had made for me many years ago and I thought of your family, especially the boys. It brought many happy memories and made me smile. We heard about Sean on the morning news today while leaving for work. We are deeply saddened by the news and cannot begin to imagine how you must feel to lose someone so dear. We remember Sean to be vibrant, mischievous and full of life. He will always be in our hearts and memory.

A friend of mine, upon her father’s passing, shared this excerpt with me. It is titled, “Making a Difference.”

“An old man walked up a shore littered with thousands of starfish, beached and dying after a storm.

A young man was picking them up and flinging them back into the ocean.

‘Why do you bother?’ the old man scoffed.

‘You’re not saving enough to make a difference.’

The young man picked up another starfish and sent it spinning back into the water.

‘Made a difference to that one,’ he said.”

I hope you can find peace and comfort knowing that Sean’s made a difference in a lot of people’s lives, including ours, and he’s made a difference by serving our country. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family.

With love always,

Cheryl & Scott Lewis

My deepest sympathy for you and your entire family during these tough times. I remember the scouts of Troop 444 standing next to my scouts from Troop 19 at Camp Wolfeboro at flag ceremonies and all the joy they expressed at the mess hall. Sean will always be there in spirit.

To the Langevin Family

I attended Sean's service today but was not able to extend my condolences to the family. My son also serves with the brave and heroic men of the 2nd/503rd Inf. I can't even imagine the grief and loss you have suffered. On behalf of my family and my son PFC Alex Arnone, Please accept our condolences. Your son is a true Hero of our Nation as well as the rest of the SKY Soldiers who have fallen.

God Bless

I can't say I personally knew Sean well, but I kind of feel that I knew him better than he probably realized since our fathers are good friends I feel as if I grew up hearing stories about Sean and Scott growing up for as long as I can remember. They have both grown to be such great man, and I'm saddened that I will no longer hear Sean’s future life stories but I look forward to still hearing of Scott’s and Sean’s wife and soon his daughter!!
I’m truly sorry for your loss!
Much love and good wishes
Vanessa

Dear Langevin Family, I wanted to send my prayers to your family. I work at Ygnacio Valley High School. I really got to know Sean during his senior year. He truly was one of the nicest young men I had the pleasure of knowing. He had the most beautiful smile. He was one of the most respectful students at YV.
I wanted to come and pay my respects today but I couldn't leave. My co-workers Matt & Pete came to represent all of us at Ygnacio Valley, to tell you what an amazing young man and hero he is. Give my love to your family and may his love for his wife and daughter live on. Love Tina Ralls

May you shelter in the Lord's strength during this difficult time.

Dear Langevin Family,
Our son Jeremy went to Bancroft with Sean. I also worked at Bancroft. We have shared some wonderful memories....classes, school life, Tiger Cubs,and visits to our home. We are proud of Sean and his brothers in arms. Their sacrifice protects the freedom we continue to enjoy. He is a true hero. I'm happy he found true love and believe his spirit will live on in his daughter, Zoe. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

We were so deeply saddened to hear of your devastating loss of Sean. We cannot fathom the pain you must all be feeling. We have known Sean all of his life and are so proud of him. He has grown up to be such a fine, compassionate loving son, brother, husband and father-to-be. His bravery in battle goes beyond words. Sean’s passing has touched us on the most personal level. We feel like a part of us has died, too. We know he will live on in the legacy of Zoë. As parents, you have set such a wonderful example for both Sean and Scotty. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all always. Sean will be forever missed and not forgotten. We sincerely hope your wonderful memories will sustain you through these most trying times.

All our love,

God bless the family of Sean Langevin. It is with our deepest heartfelt condolences that we write this note to you. We are the parents of a son deployed w/the 173rd in Afghanistan just as Sean was. Please know that we share in your grief and we hope you find some consolation in knowing, as all Catholics and others of the Christian faith believe, that eternal life is the best life of all and that Sean is now truly being taken care of by God in Heaven where there are no more wars, no more sadness, no more tears but where there is eternal peace, happiness and joy. God bless you all; you will remain in our thoughts and prayers for some time to come....

Dear Langevin Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I never had the honor to meet you or Sean. After reading the article in the Valley Times I felt an immediate connection with him for I'm an Eagle Scout from Troop 444 (1984) as well. I too went on the annual canoe trips down the Trinity and Klamath rivers, and made the Ice Cream stop in Weaverville. This has made his story all the more personal.

Our country is built on men like Sean, and families like yours. You have all paid the ultimate price, and for that I am so sorry, yet so greatful. Without families making these sacrifices like you all have, we would not be the greatest, freest country this world has ever had.

You are all in my prayers, and may God bring you comfort in these very sad, and difficult times.

God Bless you,

To the Langevin Family, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for each of you. Sean was best friend and brother to my son in the 2/503rd, Chosen Co. It saddens me that our young heroes are giving their lives like they are and I never got the opportunity to meet Sean. If there's any need I can fulfill please don't hesitate to contact.
