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.

Also here in Europe we speak about the losings America, Boston and the MIT has gone through and the story of Sean Collier is one of the biggest. He was a helpful, nice officer, who gave his life in his duty. He really cared about the students, otherwise he wouldn't have been in MIT-EMS and and in MITs Police. Such a big lost for MIT, for everyone. Rest In Peace Sean Collier.

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.

It is hard to find the words to express our grief, gratitude or pride. Sean represents the best of our MIT officers as well as all law enforcement officers who commit themselves heart and soul to our community. May the Collier family find a small measure of comfort knowing he is being celebrated as an amazing man who was loved and respected all that he met. We are breathing easier because he lived, served and protected. Rest in peace Sean and thank you for watching guard over our campus and home.
