Fellow brother I hope you are enjoying your freedom of eternal happiness!  I just saw the video about yourself while playing Metal Gear and, I used this game growing up as relief from my rhabdomyosarcoma when I was age 9.  Your story and games hit home with familiarity so I wanted to leave this memory on your memorial.  God Bless Brother and Enjoy Eternal Happiness.  RIP

To the family of Sean Paul Gillespie,
     I did not know Sean personally but I wished to send you my condolences. I was touched when I heard Sean's story on the documentary released with his favorite game series, Metal Gear Solid. Me and my brother grew up loving these games the way Sean did; the games, the collectibles, all of it. Two years ago my brother passed away in an accident on the way back to his school. It was the last week of his freshman year, he was 19. We were waiting for the day we could play the final Metal Gear Solid game together since we literally grew up on every game in the series. The game released two days ago and the pain I felt when I lost him overwhelmed me all over again. He would never get to finish the series he loved so much and in that moment I believed no one could empathize with me. Hearing Sean's story taught me that your pain is as real as mine. My brother would have been the same age as Sean this year and it made take the time to learn a little more about him. After learning a little more about Sean, my heart was broken for your family. Like my brother, Sean was too young and the world has lost another beacon of light and all the amazing gifts he had to offer. I will not have the chance to meet him, share experiences and stories with him, and get to be his friend. I feel like I have lost a great friend that I never got to meet. Sean will always live on in the things he loved and shared with you, a memory, a laugh, a hug. Those are the things my brother will always be to me. Like my brother, I know Sean will always be the first person you think of in the morning and the last person you think of at night. Prayers and condolences,
Matthew Cortina

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.  May Sean's spirit carry you all to do great things in life!

Sean will always have a special place in my heart.  Love him always.  Thoughts and prayers with the family. Love you.

Paul and Janelle;
My thoughts and prayers are with you and family. I plan to attend service. The feelings you are going through now will lessen after your son has been laid to rest. Trust me, I been there.

The Caldera family.

Deepest condolences for your families loss.

It is our honor to have known Sean.  His strength in the face of such adversity should serve as an example of the young man you raised; he was a gift to all who met him.  Thank you for sharing him with us.  Paul, Janelle and Nikki, our prayers are with you as always but more so in this time of sorrow.  All our love, Terry & Jolene McLucas.

Paul and Janelle,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Paul, Janelle, and Nicki sorry for your loss. It's been a long battle. Like Don G. said there are no words!!

Paul, Janelle, There are no words. However, a quote (from a tv show of all things) has actually helped me get thru each day...  "There is nothing that can take the pain away. But eventually, you will find a way to live with it. There will be nightmares. And every day, when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about. Until one day… it will be the second thing."  
Sean and Kyle are together in heaven, trying to one up each other I'm sure. 
Don G.
