Sean M. Spinney

This is to Judy and her entire family. Duane and are are so sorry to learn of Sean's death. I know that there are no words to help you deal with the pain of losing a child, but I hope that through your memories of him, that the loss will eventually be easier. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks so much to all of you who have shown a little piece of Sean to me and our family. That truly has been whats gotten us through this nightmare. Sean was such a stud, and I know that he's living on in our twinkling eyes and devilish little smiles. Don't let his memories die. I would love to hear more stories of Sean and his exuberance for life. Thanks again.

I had gone to school with Sean since fourth grade and saw him last in my sophmore year. I still remember the charismatic, sweet young boy he was to everyone when we were younger. We've lost touch over the years and I was truly devastated to hear the news. I sincerely believe he was taken to serve another purpose greater than on earth. My sincere condolences to friends and family...

I remember Sean walking into a room and changing the magnitude completely. It would become a different color. Not a...

I have no words that could even come close to being adequate enough for Sean. And I can't express the grief and pain that I - that many people - are experiencing right now. I would like Sean (and his entire family) to know that he touched me. There's not life he encountered that he didn't affect. I still remember sitting with him in math class, wearing his football jersey and his Birkenstocks talking about his recent camping and hiking trips; planning for the future. He was an extraordinary...

We love you, Sean. We cherish all the moments we had with you, especially when you lived in Salt Lake, when we went skiing, and our last dinner together in June. We admire how you so loved the mountains. Now you can climb every mountain without any hindrance. You are safe and free and probably very happy. We will miss you dearly. Until we meet again,
