My heart is broken. I have lost one of my best friends. Dee was a very sweet person. We always celebrated our birthdays together, as they were just days apart. She and husband Eddy were special to me. Dee will be sadly missed by all. I know the Angels are dancing
in heaven.

Jack and Karol...I was shocked and to learn of Sean's passing. My heart and tears are with you at this crushing time. We had the pleasure to share a beer at Aunt Marge's "wake" and again at Uncle John's funeral. He was a wonderful young man, and our world is poorer for his loss. I plan to come tomorrow, Andy and Amy are working, but send their love.
Love and prayers,

This news came as a complete shock to me. I’m always going to cherish the memories J have of going over to their house and playing with the girls. Sean and Marianna were more like an aunt and uncle to me than simply friends. Sean always treated me like a young man rather than just some kid, always encouraging me to focus and study in school and I can think of countless other pieces of advice he gave me throughout the years. My condolences go out to the entire family, it really breaks my heart I cannot make it to the funeral. Much love.

It is with great sadness that I post this condolence for Sean's family. Sean's love for his family, his colleagues, and his students in Benton Harbor inspired us all to love him. His smile and sense of humor will always be remembered. There are no words to express my deepest sympathies during this difficult time. I pray that God's love shines on us and provides us with comfort during our time of sorrow. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I extended my sincerest condolences over the loss of Sean. He was my teaching partner when I was at Benton Harbor. He made our world a better place and ME a BETTER PERSON for having known him. I am keeping you all in my prayers and pray that God wraps you in his comfort during this difficult time. Cherishing his girls is an understatement. He would tell me stories of taking them to pick asparagus and how you took everyone to the water park for the weekend. Again, I am so saddened to hear of your loss

Deepest sympathy to the Banyon Family. Sean was a wonderful wonderful person so many memories of him and my daughter Nicole....he was always there to lend a hand or watch out for her...even going with her to Florida to make sure she arrived safely as he didn’t want her traveling alone. Sean will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved him.
