I am deeply saddened to hear the new of Sean's passing. He and my brother, Campbell, were best of friends growing up. Sean and Campbell were in a band together and I still remember Sean coming over all the time and seeing them ride their skateboards on the half pipe in the back yard. I can't believe you are no longer here. May the Lord keep you and bless you and may your family press on until you can all be reunited in eternity with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Love in Christ,
Carrie Aurelius Wright

Sean, I still can't believe you're gone, but that's just how it is. You were one of my favorite humans on this little blue planet; an unwavering example of how to live and who to be, as well as my good friend and musical hero. I am truly truly grateful to have known you and to have been able to play music with you these past years. As deeply saddened as I am now, I look forward to seeing Devon and Naomi grow up and do great in life. You made two amazing people, and they are your greatest gift to this world, your most profound legacy, and through them you live on.

Keep on rockin', I love you brother.

We first met Sean when he was just a little boy,having lived across the street from his family. He was sooo cute and always so happy,riding his bike up and down,up and down our driveways. We moved away for 10 + yrs,as he did also.We returned to house across from his parents,seeing him occasinally when he'd come to visit them. Although we didn't get together with him much,his parents kept us abreast of what all he was up to.I was so glad to hear he had become a teacher,just because he had such a soft and gentle spirit. He loved his family,his girls,his students and definitely,his music.
I do not have the words to express the sadness and love we all have for the entire family and the many prayers we offer.
Sean, you touched more lives than you could ever know.

Sean, you will be sorely, sorely missed. Your unique mix of unflinching self-confidence and utter humility was an enormous influence on me, and many others. You touched the hearts of a great many people, and the world is definitely a darker place without your shining light. Love always, Zach.
