I miss Sean so much our whole family misses him. Its hard to think that he is actually gone. Thanks for posting the video it's nice to see him Once and a while.
We love and miss Sean very much. He continues to hold a place in our hearts- he will not be forgotten! We love you Vanderhoff family! Love, the Backes family
My heart goes out to the Family. We lost a very, very good friend of ours 5 years ago today. Jack Cratty from Vernon, CT. Was in the Vernon Police Explorer Post 800, Vernon CT for 8 years.
Jack graduated high School and went to the US Air Force. Jack was an MP and also dog trainer.
My heart goes out to his loved ones that he left behind. a fitting tribute to someone that made something of his life Even though i didnt know him. this video has helped me see how important and precious life is. thank you Sean

It's been about 8 months now and it still hurts to think that I'll never see him again... And this is just me who didn't know him that well. I'm still amazed of how all of you deal with it... Still my respects and love to all of you.
i loved your tribute. my boyfriend was killed three weeks ago in car accident. he turned 21 two weeks before his death. my heart goes out too all of you. i know the pain and the lost and hopelessness that you may be feeling.i still dont know how to deal with my own yet.
I hope you're doing better now, Kellie... God does bring hope and healing again. We will be praying for you and Ryan's family. I'm very sorry for your loss...
That was a beautiful tribute to your loved one Sean(son, brother & cousin.) I'm so sorry you lost such a lovely man who had only just turned 20yrs. You now have a beautiful Angel to watch over you. Love from England.X.
Thank you for the comments and for this video! To all who serve in the military or police...THANK YOU for all that you do! My hope is that Sean's death will lead many to discover the love of God and eternal life available because of the death of HIS son, Jesus.
Sean (Irish for "John") died on March 16 (3/16). It's awesome that John 3:16 in the Bible describes what I'm talking about! We miss Sean greatly, and we look forward to seeing him again in Heaven!
Thank you for your comment Gary and if you look at the comments we have people from all over the nation and WORLD viewing this video (AzrielCRO posted a comment from Croatia!)So even now Sean is inspiring people the world over.
I never had the chance to meet you, but watching this video brings tears to my eyes as if I did know you. I hope that one day I will be able to meet you and have the privilege to shake your hand.
god sean its been 5 months already and the only thing i can say is i still cant believe it. it seems like yesterday that i talked to you on the phone and less than 12 hours later i heard the hardest news of my life. going to your funeral was the hardest thing of my life and its still hard to think about you at times. you're not forgotten and we will see you again someday
My deepest sympathy to his loved ones, I know how you feel as I lost my youngest son, a police officer, in the line of duty. There is no greater loss than to lose a child.
I am a former Explorer from MI(post #1551) born on 3-9-87. This video embraces the value of life that we all take for granted. Never forget to remind those who you love of their significance, and what it means to you. My Condolences to Seans Family.
Coming from a fellow Police Explorer Lieutenant and fellow National Guardsman, RIP man
