I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND MISSED YOU SO MUCH ON MY BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY. YOU ARE CONSTANTLY IN OUR THOUGHTS AND CONVERSATIONS

I sat next to Sean in Music Appreciation during our sophomore year at Douglas. We became friends and shared some laughs during class. He was a funny guy, as anyone who knew him will say. For some reason Sean appeared to me in a dream last night which prompted me to put his name in the search engine and find this page. We were never great friends but, as you can tell from him appearing in my dream, I haven't forgotten the tragedy that befell him and his friends during that same year. There are no words that can describe a situation like this. I just want to leave this comment as a kind of token of remembrance. Rest in peace.

My son went to Douglas with Sean. As a single mother of two sons, I will never forget Sean as he passed on my older sons 17 th birthday. My son is estranged from me which hurts
I recently read your article in the sun-sentinel about how much of an impact Sean had teaching younger kids about basketball & how your family has set up the scholarships in memory of Sean. You are both amazing parents. Sean will never be forgotten by our family& we love him even if we did not know him on a personal level. I have a younger son who will be entering Douglas this fall 2013

SEAN, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. EVERYDAY IS A STRUGGLE NOT HAVING YOU HERE TO HUG EVERYDAY AND TO WATCH YOU GROW INTO THE OUTSTANDING MAN THAT I KNEW YOU WOULD BECOME. MOM, BRITTANY, JESSICA AND ME LOVE YOU MORE EVERYDAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO REMEMBER YOU EVERYDAY AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH US. WE LOVE YOU SON FOREVER DAD

December 22, 2010

Good Morning Sean
I love you with all my heart. My heart is so heavy everyday without you. You will always be my idol. When I read the below this morning, I had to post it on your guest book. Son , I love you and miss you every minute of every day. Dad

We miss you so, more than words can say

Life’s not the same since you went away

Now We must go on, have to find my way

We don’t know how but We need to stay

This pain’s so deep but We hope some day

We can remember you without tears, some way.

We know you're safe and I continue to pray

we'll be together again one glorious day.

IT HAS BEEN A YEAR....A poem for you Sean...

As I look up to the skies above, The stars stretch endlessly--But somehow all those rays of light Seem dimmer now to me. As I watch the morning sun appear, The shadows still don't fade-As if the brightest light of all Was somehow swept away. Though I see the branches swaying, And watch their dancing leaves--The echoes carried on the wind Don't sound the same to me. As I listen to the morning birds Sing softly from afar--It seems to be a mournful tune That echoes in my heart. Another day has come again, As time moves surely on--But nothing now seems quite the same, To know that you are gone. The days and weeks and months ahead Will never be the same--
Because a treasure beyond words Can never be replaced. The loss cannot be measured now, The void cannot be filled--And though someday the grief may fade, the marks you made will live on still. For even with a heavy heart, I know that I've been blessed To have been one who's life you touched With warmth so infinite!

Sean, you were the brightest light in the room!! We are all so blessed to have been a part of your life, and we are thankful to have had the time with you that we did, and know that someday we will all meet again
The Petrillo Family,
Richard, Joyce, Marisa, Richie & Nicky

Sean,
You are an incredibly special young man with a wonderful family. I know you were an amazing basketball player as well, and loved by all your teams’ players. Congratulations on playing, coaching, and winning in the CSBC. I think you are now part of the Miami Heat Dream Team up in Heaven! Everyone misses you so much and your family adores you. Your memories will last forever and you will never be forgotten. When we look up in the sky and see a shining star, we will always know that’s you.
Love,

Dear Sean,
I'm glad you formed part of our lives, Andres never stops having you around (you are our computer screen saver, not to mention his angel) we talk about you often, with joy and sorrow at the same time; we know that God's time is perfect, however that doesn't make it any easier understanding why your time here was accomplished so soon. You are in good hands and making everyone in heaven happy just by looking at your permanent smile, one gift you shared with all the ones that surrounded you. I can only pray for those you left behind, hoping that time and love will heal. I'll always remember you as one of my own..with "the blow out" hair do rushing to go to meet girls..thanks for being such a good friend to Andres.
Love Martha

Ive been thinking about you alot lately. You were one of my best freinds since ive moved to Florida. Ive benifitted from your freindship alot and we both taught each other alot. We were competitive with each other and sometimes our character and personalities clashed but we would always forget about it the by next day. I hope you know that you, Rob and Ant will always be remebered. RIP my true freind Sean Maxey

Good Morning Sean,
I had a strong feeling to communicate with you on the guest book this morning. There is not a waking moment that you are not on my mind and in my heart. I feel so close to you when we talk during my prayers in the morning. I will always be very proud of you and God could never have given me a better son than you and we will share life together forever and one day we will be together again. Everytime I go out front, I can hear the basketball bouncing and can hear our conversations of the hundreds and hundreds of times we have practiced together. I will never forget the success we had in winning so many games and being champions in the CS basketball league but most of all doing it together as coach and player. Sports was just one of the many reasons that I was so proud to have you as my son. As I told you many times, (you had the goods) great looks, great talent, very smart, great personality and charm and I adored you like the rest of your family does and always will. You were as I would tell you "The Future King" and you have not lost that status. You may have taken a little time away but this home will always be yours and you will always be here and we will be together again. And by the way, thanks for being our Angel, I feel your presence everyday...I love you my son DAD

Always in my heart <3

August 17, 2010

No question mark was intended. We will be together again some day.

It's been just over four months since our angels have left this earth...somehow I thought that as days turned into weeks and weeks into months that it would get a little easier. But instead, things just get harder and harder. Sean, please keep the other boys company and give Robbie a kiss for me. Have lots of laughs while you're waiting for us. You are loved and missed by many....

We had the pleasure of getting to know Sean and his mom while he was a member of the South Florida Union basketball program. Sean was an incredibly special young man who demonstrated incredible strength, commitment, loyalty and friendship in many ways, not the least of which was attending virtually every practice and tournament despite being unable to play due to injury. We were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of his loss. Our sincere wishes and sympathies to his mother and all others whose life Sean touched. We will miss him.

hi, i know you didnt know me really, Sean. But, you were friends with my brother Wesley. I still think its terrible what happened. i drove by the crashsite yesterday and i could feel nothing but sadness.I havent been able to sleep right since that day. i dont understand why God had to take you three boys away so early life. But i know that your in heaven now looking down on all of us. im sure if you had the chance to come back you wouldnt. But you're in God hands now. Waiting for the rest of us to get there. We love you, we miss you.

I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you. But I can feel the love thatyou have left behind.

I lost my son, Robert recently. He was older than you 21, but too young to leave us. I know that he must be helping you go through this transition.

I know that you are with God and that you are in peace. It hurts to feel the pain that others are going through now.

I want to let your family know that I am here for them.

God Bless you,

I had the privilege of coaching Sean on the South Florida Chiefs. He was a special kid who loved the game of basketball and was a true pleasure to coach. My family no longer lives in the area but when we heard the news we were deeply saddened. This tragedy leaves a void in the lives of everybody fortunate enough to know Sean, he will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family in this difficult time. God Bless

George Alicea

November 20, 2009

I just learned that Sean was one of the three teens that died during this horrible accident. I had the pleasure of knowing Sean as he coached my son in the Coral Springs basketball league this past spring. He was truly an inspiration to those kids, and all he wanted was for the kids to have fun and succeed. He was instrumental in the team going undefeated. But most importantly, he proudly gave his time to those kids and made them feel special out there. Thank you, Sean. Although I only knew during that short time, you will be missed. God Bless you all and rest in peace.
