Junior was a great player and perhaps a better person. He made my grandmother's day when he signed a Seau's menu for her which she gave to me. Too bad he left us so soon.

Junior Seau will always be in my heart no matter what, his suicide made hurt me, but I just hope he is in a better place with the King of Kings and Lord of Lord Jesus Christ. Junior was an outstanding linebacker in the NFL National Football League as #55. Junior will be missed by all football fans all over the world and around the world. All who were Miami Chargers fans, San Diego Chargers fans and The New England Patroits fans. If he is watching I hope he is "I love you Junior"

Junior Seau taught me how to play a sport or athlete at my school and he told that the game taught me that it's not about me. He told me that I can't quit this game because I want to, I quit the game because I have to. And told me that "You Can't Coach Courage" Junior was such a beautiful person and a kind-hearted person. My heart and my thoughts and my prayers go out to his wife Gina, his children Tyler, Sydney, Jake and Hunter, his parents, Luisa and Sr. and his siblings including the late Tony. I hope he is in a better place. R.I.P. Junior Seau #55

To Papa and Mama Seau, as well as David, Savaii, Mary and Annette, you have been in my prayers since the day Junior left us. I pray that God will continue to give you strength and comfort as a family.
Papa and Mama, thank you for the warmth you showed to me and my little son when we came to visit Junior's grave the day before his birthday. The same warmth, kindness, joy and caring that i always felt with him is what me and my little one both felt from you that day.

Junior it has been over a month since you went away, and it seems like just yesterday. I still find it hard to believe that someone so full of life is no longer here. You loved life and it saddens me to know that it hurt so bad to live. I know in life sometimes there are unanswered questions, but life must go on. It is difficult to understand why someone who was such a beacon to the world left at such a time when the world really needs your light. I know that as time passes the pain will ease, but the fact will remain that you are not here any longer. You are missed and I only wished that you could have overcome whatever you were fighting with. Your family will always be in my thoughts as I can only imagine the pain they must be dealing with. RIP Tiaina Seau. Love You "Buddy"

DON'T FEEL GUILTY THAT YOU HAVE LIFE, THAT WAS DENIED TO ME, HEAVEN IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE SO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND LAUGH AGAIN ENJOY YOURSELF BE FREE, THEN I'LL KNOW WITH EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE, YOU'LL BE TAKING ONE FOR ME" ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS ?

We knew that day God was going to call your name in life we loved you dearly in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But God calls us one by one, and the chain will link again.

Junior,
When you were born an angel smiled,
As you became a child an angel sat on your shoulder.
When you became an adult and angel held your hand,
As you grew older an angel walked down the road with you,
And when you died another angel got their wings.
May your soul be a peace, uso oute alfoa is te oe and ua ou misia lava oe.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones

Junior I can't imagine the deep inner pain you were dealing with, may you now have a peaceful soul. Mama & Papa Seau, I can't imagine the pain you are going through without your son, I hope your pain will ease with time. I know family, friends as well as support from all of the people who did not meet you or Junior will get you through the unbearable times. We grieve with you. I have seen Junior's big beautiful smile on TV and in all his pictures, what a lasting image. Thank you so much for sharing your son with the world.
Megan I can't even imagine the torment and pain you are going through. You are a brave and strong woman. May all the happy times and memories get you through. You were a part of Junior and I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers as well.
Junior soar high and be free. You will be missed.

Junior.. Words cannot express how much joy you brought to the world with your smile and love that was boundless. Although we never met in this life I still feel a connection to you, you were a humanitarian and had a good heart you are in heaven looking down upon us all now. Id like to think that when you were here maybe you just gave so much of yourself to others that there was nothing left for yourself, it breaks my heart to think that you gave so much and asked for nothing in return,Im not angry but carry the thoughs of knowing that you must have been suffering alone and your last moments were tragic. I cant believe you left us just 2 weeks ago I see the world moving on and I feel you should be celebrated for all the great things you did uncondtionally. You were a humble and loving man who I respect and admire dearly. Your warm smile and loving heart is something I wont ever forget you left an impression on my heart forever, not only because you were a great athlete but because you were a selfless and caring individual man.
God, lover of souls, You hold dear what You have made and spare all things, for they are Yours. Look gently upon Your servant (Name), and by the Blood of the corss forgive his/her sins and failings. Remember the faith of those who mourn and satisfy their longing for that day when all will be made new again in Christ, our risen Lord, who lives and reigns with You forever and ever. Amen.

dear junior.. if too much was put on you to carry. i am sorry. all i know is you gave so much.. perhaps too much and i understand why you had to leave this physical plane. i am glad you can rest now in peace.. i am grateful what you did here on earth and how much you touched all our lives through sports. all i know is that whenever i saw you on tv or in person... you glowed with so much light and charisma. i know it was hard to do sometimes i am sure and i hope people realize that. your heart is tremendous.. and may be the world was not ready for that amount of love.. that kind of love. that kind of living..or even understanding.
you will never be forgotten, junior...even in your passing you created a huge ripple to the nfl to take care of their guys..
we miss you so much.. but i know our God has asked for you to rest now and be free with the angels. <33333

My mother was the first women bartender in Oceanside, CA and never drank a drop.
You came over to the house one day with your cousin/friend? Freddy and gave my mother a
signed jersey To Maggie Jr.Seau...I found that jersey in tissue paper after her death..she went to all your
Oceanside High School Games and felt like you were one of her sons, since her son Sean is about your age....and played at El Camino about the same time. I went to your house on the strand and a flock of pelicans flew over about 8 and I was scared that the
news helicopter would scare them off. But I know now it was a sign that you are up in heaven...where you are suppose to be.helping other souls to come to earth.....RIP Junior....

My Dad and I never really had a relationship. The only father-son bonding we had was November 20, 1987 (Denver @ San Diego). That one special moment is what made me a lifetime Charger fan.
Since then I've always loved my team as a whole. Even as I was growing up in the small town of Sisters, Oregon (less than 10 miles from where Dan Fouts lived), I still felt more of a connection with Junior.
His eyes and his smile had "Love" all over them. It didn't matter if you had an eight digit bank account or couldn't afford shoes, his love for everyone always shined.
About a month before his death, my cousin posted pictures on Facebook of Junior holding her 1 year old son. After Juniors passing, my Aunt posted a picture with Junior from '98. Not surprising, he was genuinely smiling in both pictures, like he had always done.
Smiles I've seen over the years have come and gone, but Juniors will always be in my mind. That's what I will miss the most.

Junior,
A month ago, I was in Little Italy picking up lunch. As I was walking along the sidewalk, my eyes were immediately drawn to this handsome young man sitting in front of Pete's sausage having what appeared to be a funny conversation with an older Italian man. He had a huge smile on his face. The most beautiful smile and the most beautiful skin I have ever seen. It was YOU! I was so star struck and continued walking passed you. You gave me a quick glance and smile and my heart just melted. I wanted to take a picture with you but my friend told me not to bother you. Today, I regret that decision. I wish I would have. It's something I would have cherished for the rest of my life! I am so sad and I keep having flashbacks to that day. My heart is broken. Heaven was needing a hero. You are with my Dad now who died in the same month 3 years ago. I am sure you two are sharing stories and having some good laughs. You two take care of each other. God called you home and you are now at peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to your children and parents. I feel their pain. Love you Junior!

I meet you numerous times when I was a high school kid working as a valet at restaurant in Mission Valley. I was a huge fan and was so stoked to meet you. On top of it I got to drive your Hummer, which I promptly parked right in front. The thing I remember most was how kind you were to a kid like me. It's not just what you did on the field that was amazing, it was your gracious personality off the field that will be greatly missed!

The hostess told Jr. Seau when he arrived about Jarred. All we heard was "Hey Jarred ! " the look on my godson's face he whipped around and there was Junior "hey buddy " . Met us all one by one talking to us talked to us about the influence of his family ....making my Godson's dream come true meeting Junior Seau . Our hearts, prayers and condolences go out to all the Seau Family,. May God be with you may God bless and give you strength and peace. Rest in peace Junior Seau # 55 . God bless. Always
