Sean's niece

Sean was a terrific guy. I am one of Sean's many nieces and it makes my heart happy to hear so many wonderful things about him. He will be missed forever for so many many reasons. ~ Margy Collins

Sean's brother

I am out here at Zeke and Jani Littles' place. This is the first time I have seen this and it really helps me understand the width and breadth of my brother's influence. I always assumed I was biased when I spoke of his qualities to others; seems now that so many shared my viewpoint. I came out to Denver a week before the others because I could and was compelled to do so. It gave me some time to see the places and talk to some people. I'm so glad I did. Here come the tears again......bye for now. ~ Sam

Sean's brother-in-law

Sean was my brother-in law for nearly 35 years. I had no brother, so Sean was the one. It is my good fortune to not only be married to his sister Suzo, but also to have Sean. There were so many good times that I cannot count them all. All I can say is that I never had a bad day with Sean Blackburn. He was absolutely one of a kind. I love him and I will miss him. ~ Niall

Sean's sister-in-law

We thank you all, so very much, for your kind words, thoughts, and photos. At such a sad time, it is comforting to know Sean touched so many people in so many ways. Sean had such a calmness about him. He was truly a joy to be around. I loved Sean, as we all did. I will miss him, as we all will ~ Mary

Sean's nephew-in-law

I married Sean's niece Alyssa, 18 months ago in Germany. After moving to California we decided to get married again so that we could celebrate our marriage with our friends and families. Sean has 5 brothers and 3 sisters (including my mother-in-law) so I was a little apprehensive about meeting everybody in the Blackburn clan. My wife had told me about her cowboy uncle, so actually meeting Sean in the flesh was a wonderful experience. Sean sat my wife and I down and played a song just for us which was beautiful. In the evening Sean led our families and friends in hours of singing and beautiful guitar playing around the fire. Just in case his singing and guitar playing were not evidence enough of his talent, he also created my bride's beautiful bouquet. My memories of Sean are unfortunately too brief, but are all very happy. The voice, the humor, the guitar playing, the twinkle in his eye, and the best moustache in the world! ~ David Scarlett
