Sean, I remember so many good times we shared, from our bicycles, to paper routes, to motorcycles and to our families. You were more than just my big brother, you were my friend. I will look out for our family and for whatever they need. We are all going to miss you more than words describe. Love you, brother!

I waited a long time to find my True Love. Although I did not get him for very long I will always cherish the time we did have. He left me with two wonderful boys to raise and I hope he will be there in spirit to help me do it. I will try to keep them happy and safe and to always let them know how much they were loved by him and by the rest of thier family.I miss his laugh and his smile, I even miss our arguments. I would love to be able to have an argument with him right now if it meant he was still with us.I will go on and I will be strong,I promise that to you Sean. I Love you with all my heart. I miss you so much. Love ME

Sean is the second member of the SRS family that has passed in the last few years. I have know Sean since he started racing at SRS and there was never a weekend that he didn't have a smile on his face or an Associated car in his pit. Sean always enjoyed spending the race night with his sons. I know this brought him joy. Sean enjoyed life and living it. My sympathies go out to his family.

Sean was one of the first people I met when i moved here. I met him at the R/C track and obviously since we had the same first name, got to each other. He was very helpful to me and always seemed happy and smiling. Always put his kids on top priority and was a friend to everyone. Whenever the track needed some help, Sean was there. We will truelly miss him. Our deepest sympothy goes out to his family.

Sally & Lee, Lori and Family,
Although Sean grew up next door, we didn't know Sean very well. However, Carol remembers his coming over several times when you and Lee were not home to borrow a cup of something for the cookies he was baking or he would be hanging over the back fence visiting. Sean was always well mannered and always said hello wherever he would see us. We are very sorry for your family loss; we too will miss him.
If there is anything we can do to help, do not hesitate to call.

Dearest Lori and Sally,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sally, so many years, so much sharing between the two of us. I shared this sad journey with you and am so sorry for the loss of Sean. You know that I consider you my friend, not just my hair stylist and I love you. Lori, we have a lot of years together also and I want you to know I am so proud of the way you showed all of us what a wonderful young woman you are with your total support of Sean until he went home to the Lord. Now, you are showing your love again to Sean by raising his children. I'm so proud of you and I love you. I'll say the same to you as I did to Sally, you are my friend, not just my nail tech. May the Lord bless the two of you and your entire family.

Sean you will be missed. God had a different plan for you. You helped with building of houses now you can help with building of houses for souls. I know we lived far apart you were always on my mind. When you married Lori, we had a chance to talk at your Mom's house. You had a special 'twinkle' in your eyes for your wife and children. We love you. God bless you. Dennis & Mary Kay Diedrich.

Our prayers and sympathy to all of you. Sean was a special Godchild. I remember taking care of Sean and Ed when they were 1 & 4 years old when Sally and Lee went to Arizona. Sean always teased his little brother causing him to scream. He spent a couple of summers at the farm in Wisconsin. The first time he flew out by himself in the plane, I picked him up and he had a special back pack. He brought a tarantula spider for his cousin Ron. It was really scary but we had the spider for 9 years and it was special to us since Sean brought it for Ron.
I remember Sean driving one of the tractors for a hayride when they came out for the family reunion. He had a lot of fun. I'm glad we came out to Sean and Lori's wedding. We always enjoyed seeing him and stopping in at his place of work each time we came to Phoenix. He was always a happy young man. Sean will always be in our hearts forever. Love Godmother Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Jerry.

My Son, Your Godmother and Godfather arrived today. Your Grandfather,Mary,Tom,Dan and Mike also are here. Uncle Harry also. You always told me not to cry cause you would tell Lori on me.But I can't help it. I miss you so much! We've been through so much together. They say God only gives you what you can handle. He can leave me alone for now. When you left us that nite, a piece of my heart went with you. Now I save the rest of my heart for your children and your brother and my family. Keep the feathers coming. Love you my Son! Mom

My thoughts and prayers are with my family in Arizona at this very sad time. Sean was my cousin but unfortunatly, I only really got to know him a couple of summers ago at our family reunion but we had an amazing time and we all got to spend those weeks getting to know each other more and we really got to spend time together as a whole family. I was even luckier to get to fly out there to be at his and Lori's wedding, we had to so much fun! I'm so grateful for the time I got to spend with him while he was here and I'll treaure them for the rest of my life. He was a wonderful guy, so happy and funny! He could always make us laugh and he was always so much fun to be around no matter what. I love you Sean and I'll miss you so much.
All my love,
Lydia

Sean had a big heart, you knew when he loved you. I am just glad I got the chance to tell him I loved him too. I am thankful for him everyday, and grateful he raised such a wonderful son. Well, they're all wonderful. But I feel lucky to have Sean Patrick in my life. And lucky to have my Lori. You are one of my best friends. I love you so much. I am here for everything you need.

There are no words to describe the loss of someone that is so caring and would make the room light up. Sean is my cousin and I Thank God every day that I was blessed to have him so close in my life. I remember having Family Christmas together and having so much fun playing cards together! Every year during Christmas cookie weekend, he would just come in and test all of the cookies. No matter where you were in the home, you always knew that Sean came over to have some cookies :) He will be missed so much. May God be with the family in this time of loss.
Love,
Angela, Todd and Faith

Sean lives in 'spirit' among all his beloved family and friends. His sense of humor will be missed especially during Christmas cookie time! Hearing his voice when he came in the door...asking where his cookies are. We know he has lots of great cookies all the time! Sharing now with all the angels and all previously past family and friend members. Bless his heart!

I am greatly saddened at the loss of such a wonderful person. Sean was my cousin, and though I did not get to see him very often, it did not change the fact that I loved him. Whenever we had family reunions or get togethers, Sean was always funny, happy, goofy, and just a lot of fun to be around. It was wonderful to meet Lori and to get to see and hang out with the boys. I wish them the best in this hard time. Though I only got to know him for short periods of time, I will always have those happy memories of him to remember him by, and I am very thankful for that.

My family shares your pain and tears at this very sad time. I'm happy to have 37 goofy, happy years of memories with Sean that I will keep in my heart forever. I'm so glad that my kids got a chance to know Sean at the family reunion, to know Lori and the boys. We all laughed and played, hung out, family at its best. I had a sad day during that reunion and Sean did what Sean always did. He got me a monkey and wrapped it around my neck, and found a way to make me smile. That monkey hangs on my shadow box in my living room now. I see it a hundred times a day and think of Sean. He is my nephew, and he is my friend. I love you Sean, forever.
