It's taken me a long time to figure out what to say about Sean in this thing. Where do I even start? In middle school he was the guy that one of my best friends was "in love" with. Freshman year he was the guy that I got mad at for calling me a Purple People Eater (I was wearing a purple sweater). By Senior year we had become really close friends. He was always there for me and always knew exactly what to say to me when I was upset. He is deeply missed when our group is together, especially...

I think we'll always remember sean as the life of the party - always excited to see everyone and so positive about everything. The beach trips,late nights around the fire at my house, and all the countless amazing memories I have of being sean's friend I'll never forget. I can't believe it's already been this long and we all miss you so much sean. We'll be praying for the family over this christmas and I'll never forget our friendship

Sean was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. In the 2 1/2 years that we dated we definitely had our rough times, but in the end we always prevailed and stuck together somehow. Sean always knew the right thing to say to any situation, and I still use some of the advice he gave me now. Things will happen and I'll think back and say "Sean told me that would happen" or "Man, Sean was right about that." He taught me so much about everything - life, relationships, friendships, what...

Sean was the best friend i could have ever asked for, and the countless memories we shared together will be memories i will hold on to and cherish forever. We both share a huge passion for sports and I could always count on Sean to argue with me about any and every sporting event every day, either in class or while we were out with the boys. I consider Sean to be a brother to me because he always treated me as one and regardless of the arguments and disagreements we got in about sports we...

Its been hard to find exactly how to put all the things I want to say about Sean and what having him in my life meant to me into words. Sean was the type of person that no matter how much you tried to immitate him, it couldn't be done. He was one of a kind..a great one of a kind! I miss him more and more everyday, but his spirit lives on through friends, memories, and oh so many random nights caught on photo. Sean was a great friend to me, more like a brother. It wasn't a suprise for me to...
