Sean, I walked right by the place you were shot ten minutes before it happened, out on campus too late that night. Is there a way to stop the wishing that I would have seen into the future and somehow warned you? Thank you for your service and brightness you brought to the world.

Sean - Thank you for your heroic performance of your duty and for making the ultimate sacrifice to protect and serve MIT's community. My son is a junior there now, and not that much younger than you were. We will be at your memorial service tomorrow. Your selfless actions on April 18th probably saved other MIT students and faculty members. Thank you again, and rest in peace.

I now and then would run into Sean (I work strange hours as well as normal hours) and remember how nice he was to chat with about just everything from weather to the workout I was off too or he had done some fun trip with students.... He was a real member of the MIT family and I (and all of us) will miss him. Hugz and prayers and all the heartfelt thanks I have for the short time he had with us.

I express my condolences to Officer Colliers family and colleages in arms for your loss and your pain in parting from such a remarkably capable, warm and giving person. His passing reminds me of the gift of so many who work to keep us safe and to keep us pushing to the good and rejecting evil.
I have been part if the MIT community for almost 60 years, and often pass places of last weeks horrid events. Being able to write this and see the shrines at the Stata Center are meaningful to me.

I had a dream about Officer Collier. His immortal soul had left this universe and is with Almighty God in other dimensions transcending space, time and physical limitations.
Like a guardian angel Sean now wields a sword made of lightning. Similar to his life on Earth, Sean is continuing the fight for justice and against evil in the service of our Creator.
I pray that the thoughts and memories of Sean's family and loved ones will be of the happiest and best times that they shared with him.
With much love.

Thank you, Sean, for keeping us all safe -- my students, the faculty, our staff, the families and children who live on campus, and even my own children when they visit the Institute. You will be missed, and you will be remembered as strong!

My daughter, an MIT Freshman, was walking across the MIT campus within within several yards of building 32 within minutes of the shooting of Officer Collier. We as parents have counted on him and his fellow MIT officers to keep our child safe, and while the killing of Officer Collier was a cowardly, senseless act, it occurred as he was doing just that. We grieve for his family and am forever grateful to him.

Thanks for your service in keeping MIT safe. MIT CPs always excel at a difficult job - keeping an urban campus safe, while tolerating a great deal of nonsense and aggravation from the student body. We probably never thought of the CP while at MIT, and it is tragic that we only know take the time to recognize their efforts. Belatedly, thank you to the entire MIT Campus Police force.

After some 30 years from graduating from MIT I cannot stop thinking of the special people who made me feel secure during my sunrise returns back to Tang Hall from the Institute. Officer Collier died for the same good cause, the sense of duty which drives every decent person any place he /she asked to serve. May rest in peace, next to war heroes.
