Bill Sebastian was one of a kind. He had a tremendous heart and a contagious personality. All of us that knew him were blessed to share in his love and compassion. My thoughts and prayers are with the Sebastian family. Bill, thank you for being such a good friend. I will always hold my memories of you close to my heart. I love you and will miss you!

To Mrs.Sebastian, and Family,
My name is Stephanie (Crooms)Copeland, I met Bill, a few years ago, he sold me my first car at Manatee Motors, when I met him, I knew he was genuine, he always smiled, and he and Keith loved to laugh @ me.I am deeply sadened to hear about the untimely demise of such a caring person, besides, who else will I get to give me that courteous service, and a smile that shined so bright, he would make the least expensive car look tasteful. Mrs.Sebastian, and family, being a christian, you know that god would not put no more on us than we could bare, we have a just God, and his work is not in vain, although we will truely miss his presence, God has gained his chosen angel.I can't and won't began to say I can take away your pain and sorrow, it's your time to grieve,and grieve,and than let God began to heal,because the only thing man can do for you at this point is give you words of comfort, and be there in your time of dismay.Let God be your Rock, because eventually the Storm will be over, and if we live our lives correctly, we will see him again. May God keep you and hold you all in his unchanging hands.....

Im so sad to find out we have lost one of the good guys. I haven't seen Bill in years, but we worked together at the Kelly's in the early 90's. I will always remember Bill's zest and love for life. He will be sorely missed.

My heart goes out to the entire Sebastian family and his many friends who feel this loss. Growing up, Billy was one of my closest friends. He was truly my big brother and we went through a lot together. I will always remember and cherish his fierce love, devotion and loyalty. Though it has been many years since we've seen each other and a few years since we've spoken, I am unable to imagine this world without him. I loved Billy very much and share in your grief.

Dear Sebastian Family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Kassie and Alex, it has been many years since I have seen you. One of my fondest memories of your dad was when he loaded up the back of his truck full of can goods. He wanted our class to win the can food drive at OPE. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
Fondly,

Bill will be missed. We worked together at Nissan and at a small dealership I had on Cassat with another friend. A short friendship and always a smile and time to say hello, a good man, God Bless his soul and may the lord be with the family in this trying time. He loved his family always remember that he always spoke of all of you with great pride.

To the family....you know what a wonderful man you were blessed with! Many of us who have been touched by Billy's wonderful persona also are very aware of his genuine and generous traits. My husband and I got to know Billy back in the mid eighties when he was still in the Navy. We were priviledged to be in a group of people he "hung out" with and we got to watch him grow into man-hood. We are so saddened by his sudden death. May God richly bless you, the family, with peace and comfort, and may He soothe your grieving hearts.
Bill and Janice Johns, of the Westside Group.

Dear Kelly & Children,
My family & I have been members of Grace Church for one & a half years now. Although we did not have the privilege of personally knowing you and your husband and father, we remember his consistant support & input on the future of our church. When we heard of this horrible tragedy on Tuesday, I immediately felt close in spirit with this person, not knowing it was Bill. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to you all at this time. Trust that the Lord has taken care of Bill even though I'm sure he will be miss deeply. If ever in need of a friend for anything, please call me. God bless you and your children.
