Sean Paul Gillespie

TO THE GILLESPIE FAMILY I"M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. I REMEMBER HIM GOING TO SHERIDAN WAY SCHOOL GREAT KID.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort strengthens you in this time of grief. 2 Corinth. 1:3,4.

What a huge lass for your family and the world. I knew Sean at Ventura High where he had such a positive impact on those around him.. As the psychology teacher at VHS, what most delighted me was Sean's deep sense of self and exuberance for all that life had to offer, even as he was fighting Cancer. Sean, God Bless and rest in peace.

Sending this message with Love to the Gillespie family. I remember first meeting Sean when I was the principal of Sheridan Way....many years ago, and always with fond memories. I know that Sean fought this battle with courage surrounded by love from his family and friends. Please count me among those who surround you with loving prayer and friendship during this time of grief. With warm regard. Trudy Arriaga

I am so sad to hear of Sean's passing. I will always remember his beautiful smile and how hard he worked in stagecraft and drama class with me.

He was just an awesome human being, and I am very glad to have had him in my life his last year of high school.

Sending love to his parents and to Nicole. ...

Sean was a language student of mine for two years...and a student of physics in my husband's class, while at VHS. We know that he was more than that ...he became one of our most important teachers. Our deepest sympathy for your deep loss and our most profound respect for your son's light and shared spirit of courage.
