Sean McBride Obituary
The music playing is here for two reasons. At Sean's memorial, we had asked his best friend, Andrew, to pick three or four songs Sean loved so they could be played. This Creedance Clearwater song is "Long As I Could See the Light". We found, in the days right after Sean's death, how many people's lives Sean had touched positively. At the memorial, I said that Sean will still be there for anyone; just put a candle in your window, he will find it and bring some peace and answers to anyone needing his help even though he is physically gone.
The nickname "ShaggyFHI" comes from one or more of the web site forums for his car clubs. Not sure where the "Shaggy" comes from but he found that someone else already had the nickname. So, he added FHI for Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of the Subaru. We never used it but we did find it on those sites.
Others had other nicknames for Sean. Peter called him "Seam". His favorite car club on Friday night in Arlington called him "Seanie-Boy".

Still thinking about you buddy. Things may become frozen in time in our minds, but I'm keeping your memory alive on a regular basis. I'm restoring an old '02 WRX, working on it and driving it never fails to bring back a bunch of memories, stories, and events that make me think back to those good times. The never-ending laughs, shenanigans, and great friendships we all had.

Hard to believe it's been so many years. We didn't know each other that well, but I'll never forget the good times I had with you and the Arlington Friday Night crew. Yall were cool to me at a time in my life when I really needed it, and to this day those are some of the best memories I have. I'll always be grateful to you for that. I've still got my Subaru, and I think about you and the rest of the guys every time I drive it.
I've got a candle in the window for you. Always will. RIP dude.

I went in yesterday to continue Sean's Legacy Page and found it had already been done, again, by Scott Martin and the car club. I can't thank all of you enough for continuing to do this. I know Sean's personal time revolved around the guys and the cars.
It's good for me, and for Tracy, to go back to the memorial site despite how extremely difficult it is. A couple of days ago, I went back and read all of the Condolences again. We're 10 1/2 years since we lost Sean and, some days, it seems so long ago. But, many days, I feel like Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day", it's like it was yesterday over and over.
This time, I simply broke down crying (that's a good thing) as so many memories washed over me. There are days when I'm playing golf and memories of me and Sean playing come back. I don't hit the ball as far as I get older, but I do know my distances with each club. But, I'll get over a shot and, for some reason, it goes as far as it did years ago with Sean. It's not a "bad shot", it's just startling to hit it so well, way past the hole. When it happens, I look up, shake my fist at the sky and can hear him laughing in my head.
We miss Sean terribly. We miss him raiding the refrigerator in the middle of the night. We miss the loud music playing in the morning. We miss his smile.
So, this site has proved to be therapeutic for us. We have tons of pictures. We have two trunks full of memories. But, it's great to go here and read the notes people left.
So, again, thanks Scott and thanks to the car guys!!

Years later...not a day goes by that I can't find something, somewhere that reminds me of you. (of course, having a little boy of my own named after you doesn't help) But I don't want to forget. Every time we talk about you with the guys, it's always good times. Everyone remembers you as the good guy you were.
We miss you bro...

Ross and Tracy. The website is a beautiful and touching memorial and testimony to Sean. I have always loved "Long as I can see the Light" by Creedance and in fact have it on my I-pod. Now when I hear it, I will think of you guys and of Sean, because although I never personnaly met Sean, I have come to know him and his legacy through you. Thanks for that.
Peace today and always,

Well, Sean, we close out the guest book for your memorial. It just doesn't make sense to keep it open another year. Today is your birthday and your mom and I went to Newport's as we always did and celebrated your birthday. We cried on the way home thinking about how scared you must have been while the car was out of control and headed to the tree. And we weren't there for you. But, we have to remember the good times; and there were so many. Thanks for those memories.

Tracy, you were a WONDERFUL mother, and your son loved you dearly! Ross, you were a great father! You set the example for your son to follow...and for that you can always be proud! Now as you continue to live your life, I pray that the memories of your beloved Sean will fill your hearts moment by moment, and that his spiritual presence will warm your hearts and bring you comfort. I love you both!

To all of you that have left or will leave such kind words about our son, Sean, we sincerely thank you. Tracy and I, of course, are just broken-hearted and in deep pain over our loss of our only son. Our memories are of so many positive things and we are so proud of him. And then, to read and hear so many compliments from so many people that knew Sean, we are filled with even more pride. Thank you for sharing and caring.
