Sean Collier

Sean- Thank you for protecting our community. As I read about you, from those who knew you well, I know we truly lost an amazing human being and police officer. My heart is broken for all those trying to find peace, even for a moment. I thank you for all you've sacrificed while doing what you loved, what you believed in. I pray for your family, friends, MIT brothers & sisters, MIT community, and all who are grieving from the tragic, senseless incidents this past week. May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Sean Collier's Family, Friends, Colleagues and Community. A bright shining life taken in the line of duty. Truly a tragedy. May God wrap his arms around all those effected by his sudden passing, and may he offer comfort, peace and healing. I am so very sorry for your loss.

To the Family of Sean Collier,
I want to express my deepest condolences for your loss. My best friend works at MIT and in the past year I have been down there several times, and it is such a wonderful, beautiful community of people. This young man had his life taken while doing what he loved. His loss is painful because it was so unnecessary, yet, he chose a line of work to love that offered protection to those around him, and in order to make that small corner of the world a safer place. May this young man rest in peace, and know he will never be forgotten for his service and sacrifice.

Thank you for serving and protecting the MIT Community.

May you rest in peace.

There are absolutely no words that can express the sadness and pain that I feel in my heart for the loss of Officer Collier. To his family and friends, he will never be forgotten ~ he will remain forever in our hearts. We will will always "H"onor Sean, his "E"xtraordinary service, "R"espect his dedication to keeping our community safe, and we will never, ever forget the "O"utstanding person and law enforcement officer that he was - a true HERO!

While I did not know Sean Collier personally, I have always appreciated all that the MIT police do to keep us students safe. Thank you. My condolences to his family.

Thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice Sean. The brotherhood of officers will remember you always and you will live on through their duties.

When I found out that an MIT campus policeman had given his life in an on-campus shooting, I truly realized for the first time how much the MIT campus policemen care about us. During the events that followed that night and the next day, one of the only things keeping me strong was knowing that everything would be okay because astounding individuals like Sean Collier were making protecting us their top priority. After hearing stories of his kindness and respectability, his overall exceptional character has irradiated through this dark tragedy. Thank you, Officer Collier's family, for raising such an honorable man. His bravery in the stand against terror will never be forgotten. RIP

Officer Sean Collier,

Although our paths never crossed and I never had the opportunity to meet you, my heart is heavy with the feeling of loss of such a wonderful life. Someone close to me has aspired to be exactly what you are and for that I want to thank you for being such an inspiration to those around you. I hope one day this world will find peace in your name and that there are men and women who are half the man that you are. I only wish that I had the chance to meet such an amazing person but I thank you for your service. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends at this difficult time. You are a hero.

Thank you for your protection, Officer. You will be remembered!

Thank you for serving and protecting the MIT Community. You will be missed.
Sending our deepest condolences to your family and friends.
May you rest in peace.
