Here are a few pictures of Sean with Brutus. Mark, the nurse in ICU, arranged for Sean to go outside in the sunshine to see Brutus. It was wonderful to see.

Stephanie,
You don't know me but I've known Sean for years, both at CSC and Eagle Alliance. I can't tell you how sorry I am for what you both are going through. Sean is a very strong man, both physically and mentally, and he is admired by everyone who knows him. I hope you will find comfort in knowing that you are all in my prayers. Please give Sean my best (and a hug) and tell him that everyone here at EA Security Services sends their love and prayers.

Hello (all)
I knew Sean when he worked at the CSC Shady Grove office. I am truely sorry to hear of Sean's condition and have included Sean (and you and family) in all of my prayers.

Sure wish this had turned out differently. But none could, I am sure, wish it as hard as yourself and your families.

To Sean: Sean, I really do wish you the best

Sean has gone on before us.

Cpl Sean F. Carabine USMC(Ret)
29 March 1972 - 13 April 2007

A fabulous son and a fabulous person.

Two quotes that apply to Sean:

The Warrior Creed

Whereever I walk, everone is safer.

Wherever I am, anyone in need has a friend.

Whenever I return home, everyone is happy I am there.

By Robert L. Humphrey

Marine Lieutenant on Iwo Jima
10th degree Black Belt
Involved in the creation of the Combined Action Platoons in Vietnam and the USMC Human Relations Program

and from Carl Sandburg

"The republic is a dream. Nothing happens unless first a dream. That's what makes us as Americans different. We've always reached for a new spirit and aimed at a higher goal."

Stephanie and Family,
I'm very sorry to hear about Sean. Although I only met Sean a couple of times, I felt like I knew him very well. I guess because my brother talked about him quite frequently. I know he was a good friend and he will be greatly missed. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Stepahanie and the family and friends of Sean - Words can not express the sorrow I feel for your loss. I worked in the Eagle Alliance Security department that Sean supported. Sean was just one of those people you met and from that first second you knew you were blessed to have ever known him. His words got me through some rough times and he left me laughing at the same time. His tales about him and Brutus are the best.

He may be away from us physically but he will never be far from our hearts. I pray he is in a peaceful place now.

God bless,

lynn

Stephanie,

Words can not describe what I am feeling for you at this time. Know that you are in my heart and prayers. I know that he was a wonderful person without ever having the chance to meet him. God bless you, and then strength he will give to you in this time of need. Love ya girl!

Stephanie,
I started out as the firefighter you saw at school, to the injured painter you "checked out" lol. Eventually I started to work on your house while sean was chillin out. Most proudly I became friends with you and sean. It started with taking out the dinning room wall to painting, etc...and I enjoyed every minute I was there. From Brutus jumping at the door to talking with shawn about the Jeep. I'm gonna miss him. I didn't care what "work" had to be done, I enjoyed coming over and hanging out with sean. THANK YOU for sharing your husband and allowing me to become more than a painter....Sean became a friend. I can't thank you both enough for the memories and smiles.

My deepest condolonces go out to the Carabine family and his beloved wife Stephanie.

I have known Sean for a number of years now and it breaks my heart to know that he is gone. He truly touched my life in more ways than he could ever know. To know Sean was to love him. I will truly miss him. I haven't seen him in years and I regret that we lost contact over the past year. One of the many things I learned from Sean (which I still apply to this day) was "to be aware of your surroundings". for some reason that always stuck with me. I travelled with him several times across the country and they were truly some of the best times of my life. Thank you Sean. He never cared that I wasn't always the "awake" travel partner.

Sean I will never forget you and thank you for touching my life as well as many, many others. Thanks for being YOU!!

I lost touch with Sean over the years. We both moved to different ends of the country from our hometown, and I unfortunately stumbled across this page just now in a search of some of my old friends. I had been close friends with Sean for some time, and am truly sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathies for the entire Carabine family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. This is truly a devastating loss.
