Sean Lyerly Obituary
CPT Sean Edward Lyerly In Loving memory of CPT Sean Edward Lyerly who passed away in Iraq on Saturday, January 20th, 2007. He was doing what he loved, flying a Blackhawk. Sean was a beloved son, brother, grandson, a devoted husband and father, and a great friend. He touched the lives of many and was admired by all who knew him. He gave his best to his family, friends, and ultimately to his country. Sean was born in Lafayette, LA and grew up in Houston, TX, where he attended Episcopal High School for three years. He moved to Brazil for a short time then returned to Houston where he graduated from Stratford High School. He went on to attend Texas A&M University and interned at Disney's Epcot Center, where he met the love of his life, Csilla. Sean graduated in 2000 with a bachelor's degree in Horticulture and a minor in Landscape Architecture and moved to the Austin area. He and Csilla were married in Sedona, AZ on April 27, 2002. As an officer in the National Guard, Sean attended Chemical Officer Basic Course in 2003, in Saint Robert, MO and flight school in 2004-2005 at Fort Rucker, AL, where he excelled as a pilot. Sean's natural instinct for flying was put to use as he volunteered to fly support missions in Texas and Louisiana in the aftermaths of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. He loved flying and he had a greater love for helping those in need. Sean lived life to the fullest each day. He took nothing for granted and always found something to smile about. Sean inherited a love of gardening from his mom; in his spare time, he enjoyed working in his yard where his natural 'green thumb' was evident. He looked forward to spending time and hunting at the ranch with his brother and their father. His love of flying was echoed in the joy he found riding his beloved Hayabusa motorcycle. Perhaps his greatest love the love he held for his family. His wife, Csilla, was his best friend and soul mate. He delighted in taking time to teach their three year old son, Zackary, about everything! He loved the life he lived, his family, his friends and the beloved Pooh Cat. To his wife he was an amazing husband and a devoted father of their son. The loss of Sean has brought deep sorrow to his family and his family of friends. Sean is survived by his loving wife Csilla Lyerly of Pflugerville; son Zackary Lyerly of Pflugerville; mother Deborah Russo-Blakeman and husband John of California; father George Edward Lyerly and wife Monica of Bryan, TX; grandmothers Virginia Lyerly of Caldwell, TX and Elvina Rachal Russo of LA; brother George Edward Lyerly Jr. of Bryan and godfather Louis Russo of LA. He is also survived by so many other relatives and friends and of course his dear cat Oscar "Pooh". Visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. on Sunday at Cook-Walden Capital Parks, 14501 N. IH 35; Pflugerville, TX 78660. The visitation will be followed by a vigil service on Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home. A Funeral Mass will be held at 12 noon on Monday, January 29, 2007 at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, 1520 N. Railroad Ave, Pflugerville, TX 78660. Committal services and interment will follow at Cook-Walden Capital Parks Cemetery in Pflugerville. A memorial website in honor of CPT Lyerly has been created at www.MeM.com.

Capt. Lyerly's funeral was my first Patriot Guard Riders mission. I can still remember the Double Taps and the Blackhawk flyover. That year I rode cross country on Run For The Wall www.rftw.org and had the honor of riding in the missing man formation. I swear I could see Capt. Lyerly riding next to me in the missing man spot. It was spooky and calming at the same time. Rest in peace sir. He rides with me now. Never forgotten!

I have kept this cigar since 10 Jan 07 for that exact reason. I hope this message finds all of you in good health and happiness. SGT Gay ([email protected])

Our family will always keep yours in our prayers and thoughts.

The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Sean, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

To The Family of Sean Lyerly:
My name is Carol Cline. I attended the homecoming of the 449th at Ft. Hood yesterday, July 24, 2007. I was fortunate that my nephew James Crisler was on that plane full of soldiers and our whole family was elated. I took lots of pictures and there was a nice ceremony. Later my newphew told me that Sean's mom was there. I wish I could have personally met her as I would have felt it to be a great honor.
We were blessed our soldier came home safely to us! I feel Sean and the other soldiers that died with him were guardian angels for the 449th. God bless your family each and every day.

Another Fallen Hero ~ We understand what you are experiencing and feeling. No amount of words can ease the pain of your loss. I know first hand there are no words of comfort at this time. We lost our only son 9~3~2004 at the age of 19 and it fells like yesterday. Just know that there are Marine families across the USA who is experiencing your loss and pain.
My heart breaks as I sign another guestbook of such a courageous soldier who gave his life so selflessly. May he rest in peace knowing that he was loved and remembered by those who knew him as well as strangers who admired his courage and sacrifice. God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and made the ultimate sacrifice. My deepest condolences, sympathy and prayers go out to the entire family. May God grant you peace, strength and comfort in such a difficult time. I will keep your family in my prayers along with all the families of our American Hero’s. Thank you.
Sean ~ My family and I are thankful for the Bravery, Courage, Determination and Service to fight for our country (our freedom), from you, my son and all the others in our armed forces for the sacrifice made for us. You all will not be forgotten.
We also have a Marine daughter and Marine son-in-law. I still fly my Marine flag and have my Marine tag and sticker on my vehicles because I'm PROUD of my SON and ALL THOSE MARINE MEN and WOMEN out there. I will always be a MARINE. We are proud of all of you. “Land of the Free, Because of the Brave”
Thank you Legacy.com for setting up this website so families can quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves across this great nation.

To the Family of Capt. Sean E. Lyerly:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
