Sean, I only just found out what happened recently. I know this message won't stay on here for long, but I just wanted to say I think about you every day, as I see a lot of you in myself. We had some good times in the 2 years we worked together; I just wish I had kept in touch with you after I left the sleep lab. May you rest peacefully now, buddy. We will all miss you greatly, and always.

Sean,

You were one of the smartest and hardest working persons I have ever had the pleasure to be around.  I never heard you have an unkind word to say about anybody.   Your professionalism, your sense of humor, and your smile will be missed by all in our sleep center. 

Respectfully,
David Ralston, M.D.

I am sorry for the death of Sean.  I never met him - but I know that he loved and cared about others.  I am sending hugs and good memories to all the people that knew Sean.

Take care -

Oliva P Riley

You were and always will be part of who I am.  I miss you so much already, although it's still so hard to believe.  You will forever be part of all those that loved you, in all of our hearts and memories.  
I will miss you always, my friend - we all will.
Love always, 
Adrienne

Such and instantly likable guy!! From the moment I met Sean I could tell he was a very intelligent, funny, interesting, caring person. I am glad we became friends and that we kept in touch via facebook after we first met through our mutual friends Jon and Christina at Comfest last year. I wish I would have known him longer. He will be missed by many!! My sincere condolences to all his friends and family on the loss of this beautiful human being.
