Sean, I am a evening custodian just a few buildings from where you lost your life. I don't think I'll work another shift without you on my mind. I want to thank you and all the MIT police officers for always giving me a sense of safety while working evenings. I pray that your family and friends can move forward with a sense of peace that you are now in a much better place.

I did not have the fortune to meet Sean Collier; my loss is all the greater as I will never be able to meet this remarkable young man. My condolences to his family and friends.

It's so sad. Words seem so empty... Very hard to find the words needed to say what's on your mind.
I deeply feel with the family, the fiends, colleagues. My prayers are with you all!

Dear Sean! Thanks for your service. That you went out there to serve the people, to serve your country. You will not be forgotten!

Rest In Peace!

This is a terrible loss to the MIT Community. I've been an admin at MIT nearly 30 years and have always found campus police to be helpful, particularly when one of my postdocs was being stalked some years ago. It is a sorrow-filled time, just awful.

My heart breaks for the Collier family. Please take some small consolation in the fact that he was doing what he loved; probably what he was born to do. I can only think of the prayers I learned as a child ... "Grant rest, 0 God, to Your servant, Sean, and place him in paradise where the choirs of saints and righteous shine like stars. Eternal memory." (From the Byzantine prayers for the deceased.) Eternal memory.

Heaven gained and angel and Boston lost one of its finest. RIP Police Officer Sean Collier. You were a true American hero and will always be in our hearts in Boston. To your family, I am truly so sorry for your loss and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. <3 Boston Strong. My daughter is 9 and was so sad to hear that we lost an officer. She is also praying for you.

I still don't have the words to say because it still doesn't seem real to me. Sean, I have always known you were the most amazing guy I had every met and I'm so grateful to have had you in my life. I only hope that your family can find comfort and solace in the fact that you are a true hero and will be remembered that way forever. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to the whole Collier family and you raised an amazing man.
