Sean Collier

So saddened by this tragic event here in Nova Scotia, we like many others here have ties to the area, family and friends, that it shakes us to the core when this happens. Our thoughts are with you at this time. May God bless Sean's soul, and his family at this sad time.

RIP Officer Collins. We never met, but I feel like I lost a dear friend.

Thank you for your service. May you rest in peace. My condolences and prayers to your family at this time.

Condolences to family, friends and colleagues. Sean, you are a hero in life not death.

My sister is a student at MIT and I can't thank Officer Collier enough for being there to protect her. I will forever be indebted to you. Thank you for all that you did. You will never be forgotten but be remembered often.

Thank you for your service and for keeping us safe. May your family find some peace and may the pain of losing you be eased.

Like many others, I didn't know Sean personally but am tremendously saddened by his loss, and wish to express my gratitude that he risked and ultimately sacrificed his life in order to serve and protect his city and the MIT community. As we all struggle to make sense of what happened last week and to heal, we remember those who were taken and pray for them and their families, friends and loved ones. May angels lead you in.

We have never met Sean...but right about the time you were born I became a Wilmington police officer. Our goals in life seemed to have been similar...only separated by time. I'm sorry we never met...I'm sure I would have enjoyed working with you given the chance. My condolences to your family, friends and brother and sister officers. RIP Brother.

God bless you and your family.

Officer Collier, you have bravely and courageously showed us your dedication and love to the people of Boston and of the United States. You have greatly inspired me and I thank you for your service. May God bless you and keep you.
Rest In Peace, End of Watch.

God bless you, your family, and your fellow MIT Police Officers and employees. May you rest in peace knowing that justice will be served.

To the Collier Family, the MIT Police Department, the MIT Community, and all First Responders: Officer Collier, like many of MIT's Finest, has many friends on the campus and, I'm certain, off the campus as well. I didn't know Officer Collier, but I had worked with MIT Campus Police on other occasions and always found the officers to be police, helpful, and very compassionate.

If things unfolded as they should have, Officer Collier would have served as a Police Officer for many years, whether at MIT or with the Somerville Police. His new beat is Heaven--never doubt, he is still on the job!
