I wound up on this page after reading a news story about another CHP officer struck by a vehicle while working an accident. I had a lot of contact with Sean during my career with the Border Patrol at the I-5 checkpoint. He was a great guy, always in good humor and professional in his dealings with the public. I was the shift supervisor that morning and the news brought all of us to a standstill. Each time I go by the sign on I-5 the memory of that day hits home again. RIP Sean.

Hello Sean,

Sorry for not checking in sooner, but I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed our morning coffee together while working A-watch in San Diego. You always knew how to put a smile on my face Sean. I can't believe how quickly the years go by. Rest in peace brother......

There isn't a day that goes by that you're not in my thoughts. You and Melanie were my best friends in the academy. I can't believe that it has been almost 14 years ago that we lost you. What a tragedy. Drunk drivers are scum.

RIP my friend.

I SPOKE WITH SEAN ON THE PHONE THAT SUNDAY MORNING 20 MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS KILLED. I HAD CALLED THE OFFICE FOR A SGT. AND SEAN ANSWERED THE PHONE. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT I WOULD BE IN HIS FUNERAL LATER. HE WAS VERY SMART AND AN ARMY VETERAN. I FEEL ESPECIALLY SORRY FOR HIS PARTNER KELLY.

Sean

I can't believe its been thirteen years. I remember working with you in San Jose.

I have been to Washington, DC to see your name on the wall, and last week I was at the Police Hall of Fame in Florida and saw your name on their wall of fame.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sean: On this sad anniversary, I just wanted to let you know we are still touched by your loss. I HATE drunk drivers and the carnage caused by those people is unnecessary.

I know you are with the Lord and with all the other law enforcement angels who have been taken from us. Keep a protective watch put for all my CHP, but especially my beloved San Bernardino Squad.

Thank you for your sacrifice. You will always be a hero. A loss like yours reminds me of why I do what I do for MADD.

Love,

Sean was a fine young man and a fine soldier while I was his platoon sergeant with a military police unit in northern California. It was obvious that he would have a successful career and more importantly, impact those that he came in contact with both professionally as well as in his personal life. I learned of his passing from another former MP and current CHP officer and it was indeed a shock. My heartfelt prayers go out to his surviving family, friends and fellow law enforcement personnel. We go through life but once and it is apparent that he has left his footprint on many lives. "Off the troops, For the Troops"

I was pulled over and given a ticket by officer Sean Nava shortly before his death and he made an impact on my life.I was speeding and before he handed me my ticket and sent me away he offered some very kind words of wisdom to me about the dangers of speeding.The things that he had said to me that day, made me think.I will not forget the day I went to pay the ticket and when I handed it to the cashier at the court house she began to sob.I asked her, this was not the officer that was killed on the 5 freeway was it?She responded with a nod and my heart sank.To this day every time I drive on the 5 freeway,without looking my eyes find the memorial sign with his name on it.I always say a prayer for him and his family and can always see his face as he was speaking to me that day.With that said, in such the short time that he spent with me that day, he has made a footprint in my life!May God Bless him and his family.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I's afraid the curse of drunk driving will be with us forever, as long as we have irresponsible, selfish and
addicted people on this earth. Thank you for doing your
part to eradicate them from our highways. Your children are now 11 and 14 and I know life has been
painful for them to go on without their father. Your EOW
was 7 years ago, but time has not diminished your
sacrifice.
