As a WA state resident I thank you Officer O'Connell for your service as I understand how dangerous the roads here are. To your wife and children I send my deepest sympathy and pray your hearts will someday heal. My husband too was a police officer but in Alaska so my heart goes out to you as I understand the feelings of an officers wife. My thanks to you also Mrs. O'Connell for you being brave enough to allow your husband to go out on the streets each day. God Bless you all! Here is a huge HUG to use when you are having a rough time and no one else is around.

Policemen and policewomen of the municipal police of Luce (France) send their condolences to all colleagues, friends, wife and children Sean O'Connell.

Hi colleague ...

life is unfair ...
death is even more ...

your voice And your laughter will reason does more ...
but your silence weighing challenges us at every moment ...

you found a job that you had intended ...
a profession that you were proud, as the profession can be proud to have you in their ranks ...

unfair life you tracking until you find your way ...
your wrongful death, leaves us speechless ...

I think your wife that I did not know ...
I think your children I do not know ...

I think the ones who have to face life without you and who courageously face thinking of you ...

                         Hi colleague ...

I knew Sean off and on over the years while working for Starbucks. He would frequent the Airport Rd Starbucks in Everett before he was promoted to a motorcycle officer. He was such a happy person who always talked about his children and we nicknamed him "Sean Bucks" due to his coffee addiction. I worked for Starbucks for almost seven years and I would always see him while working at other stores. He would come in with his son, who while younger, would come into my Starbucks dressed in a spiderman costume. Sean loved his family so much and any time that I would see him over the years he would show me pictures of his kids on his phone and and how they had grown so much. He was the type of guy that you would remember for life, always smiling, wonderful stories, and always talking about his family. I will never forget Sean and many Starbucks Baristas out there will miss him.
