Sean Collier

I am truly saddened by this young officer's untimely departure. My prayer is that the God of all comfort will be with his family during this difficult time. He left this world as an emblem of justice and courage in the face of grave cowardice and evil. It is right to remember such men.

May God give you the strength to bear this unbearable loss ! The whole of MIT Community is behind you during the hour of your inconsolanle loss .

My sympathy is with you in this your time of grieving.

Deepest sympathy on this sad occasion.

Thank you Officer Collier for being the cop that you wanted to be, going into harms way to protect others. I salute you.

All of us here at MIT are constantly out and about at all hours of the night, sometimes forgetting that the reason we can do this safely is thanks to the hard working men and women of the police force. Thank you so much, Officer Collier. You will be missed, and your sacrifice and name will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with the family and friends of Officer Collier; he was a great man, and will forever remain one of our heroes.
