NEW FRANKLIN -- Sean Raymond Stripe, 20, died April 10, 2006, as a result of a car accident.
Born June 4, 1985, Sean was a member of St. Francis De Sales Parish, a graduate of the grade school, and a graduate and four- year letter winner in soccer at Manchester High School. Hopeful of becoming a physician, he attended the University of Akron. He was employed at Anthe's as a server. Sean's favorite activities included playing soccer, CYO basketball, beach vacations, and spending free time with family and friends along with much- loved girlfriend, Carly. Sean sincerely loved people, his Irish heritage, and readily captured the affection of all those he met, young and old alike. His loving humor could be found at Christmas as "Seanta Claus" to those he found dearest. Sean will be deeply missed by so many who saw his warm smile.
He was preceded in death by grandparents, Eileen Duffy, Ray Stripe, and Edwin Dunbar; uncle, Dr. Glenn Stripe; aunts, Peggy Walsh and Barbie Dunbar Lewis, and leaves, to mourn his loss, parents, Susan and Craig Stripe; sisters, Christina and Angela Stripe; grandmother, Eileen Stripe; many aunts, uncles, and several close cousins; special love, Carly Davis; numerous friends and co-workers.

Hey Sean Raymond, thinking of you on this day. I wonder all the time what kind of man you would have turned into by now. I still question why God took you at such an early age? I hope you have found happiness in the afterlife and your mother who has also passed on.
We'll hook up sometime down the road. Your sisters miss you very much as well as I do.
I'll reach out again. Send me a sign if you can. Love you.....dad.

Sean Raymond, Christina told me that she talked to you and your mother through a medium the other day. Good to hear you both are doing well. Not sure if what was said or heard is real, but I'd like to think so. Send me a sign now and then if you can. Miss you son. Tell your mother I said hi as well.

Hey Sean Raymond, you received a condolence from an unknown yesterday, a nice gesture which prompted me to write here. First Merry Christmas, we all miss you every day. Mom and I continue to view the sky for a shooting star almost every night in the hot tub as a sign that you are still with us watching from above. We gave your sisters BW3 hot sauces this year as your gift to them. Angela has already given a thumbs up. Christina hasn't received hers yet. You are 31 now going on 32 in 2017. We often wonder what you would have become and if we would have grandchildren by now? We all miss you, until next time.
Dad
December 21, 2016
I just wanted to say hi. I've been thinking a lot about the young people we've lost too soon. I didn't know you on a personal level, I did go to school a couple years with you and was in a couple of Christina's classes. I hope everyone is doing well, and just wanted you to know you are remembered from more than just close family and friends.
June 4, 2014
Happy Birthday Sean Raymond, you are 29 on this date. The family misses you and wish you well. We met Chris H. this past April 11 at BW3s. We had a wing and a beer in your memory. Send us a sign sometime, we will be looking......Dad.

Sean,
Your sisters, nephews (Jamie & Brandon, your mother and I went to BW3s yesterday evening trying to relive your last moments. Ironically there was a power outage and they were closed. So we did your next favorite spot, Quaker State and Lube. Mom brought you flowers yesterday. Looking for that little turtle that you normally send around this time of the year.I trust you are in a better place, and we will meet up again in due time. You are deeply missed Sean -son.

Sean,
Angela was involved in an accident April 09. She was very lucky that she was not killed. She wrecked her jeep on I-76 going east bound. She was crowded by a truck who apparently didn't see her. In her effort to swerve, she lost control and did a 360 into the guard rail. She is fine, just shaken up, as were mom and me.
On another note, you received several facebook entries from friends that miss you. I will post your sisters....we all miss you. Mom and I placed flowers from the garden at your grave the other day. Your sisters went to see you last night. I received your message on the praying mantiss cocoons this spring. I found 9 of them. Keep sending me the signs. I let my imagination take over.
Dad
August 31, 2011
Sean,
I've been way over do to write you. I visit you often with your mother, as do your sisters. We brought flowers on your birthday, as we do on the holidays. Others still come to visit you as we see the offerings that are placed on your marker. You would have been 26 this year. Your mom and I keep wondering what you'd be doing as far as a job and marital status. We think of you daily as we gaze into the evening stars....looking for some sort of sign. Oh by the way, Brandy never had pups. It was a false pregnancy. I'll write again.

Sean Raymond,
It's been three years today, and we are still very sad over this. Today is a cold drizzle that matches our spirits. Mom and I and your sisters talk about you all the time. There is always something that comes up that reminds us of you. We saw the big fish skeleton in the clouds the other night out in the jaccuz, we know it was you behind it. Keep sending the signs. We'll be looking for the shooting stars later this month, send us a bunch OK ? We'll be up to the cemetry to visit with you this weekend.
Craig Stripe
December 24, 2008
Sean Raymond,
We visited with you the other day to wish you a Merry Christmas up there. We continue to see your face in the clouds by day, and look for the "shooting stars" at night. I keep a fire lit when we're out, to help you find us. God Bless...until next time...Dad

Sean,
I miss you everyday, and still sometimes I wake up and go to call you like your still here and never left me. God Bless your family for all they have done and always welcoming me with open arms, we will always be apart of each others lives. Angela,christina and I are always there for one another and we have our cries sometimes, and we always enjoy prison break.Me and Angela just recently hung out with Paul and Logan. Still to this day it wasn't fair what happend but I know that one day after I have lived my life I will see you again. I know you'll be standing there with open arms and a black and mild. It's hard everyday and I never forget you, people just don't understand Im trying to live with it and what god has dealt me and succeed in not only school but in the medical feild like we always wanted to.Believe me it's rough, but I always remind myself of what you used to say "Go hard or go home carly Ann, it never gets easier!" I dream of you all the time and always find dimes, and see butterflies I know your by my side still. I Love you and always will for eternity my Sean Raymond.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die...

Another year has passed
Another year of grief
This pain I feel inside
From the Sadness underneath..
A smile each day
To all I go by
I can talk and laugh
Yet feel empty inside
I can't stand the thought
My best friend's not here
I miss the way you always
Brought laughter and cheer
Didn't matter what we did
Or wherever we would go,
With you by my side
My smile would glow.
You made me laugh like noone else
Always listened to me cry
Now I have nowhere to go
Why did you have to die?
It's something which I'll never
Even closely understand.
I try to accept what's here and now
But never really can.
What I wouldn't give for one more hug
One more time to touch..
I long to hear your voice Sean
I miss you so very much.
Until the day we meet again
I'll hold you in my heart
You're forever my best friend
No matter if we're apart.
Tell my family up there I love them
Down here, I'll do the same.
I'll be thinking of you every day
Until we meet again.
I love you Sean. I can't believe it's been 2 years... 2 years since you left so long before your time. It's sooo not fair! So many tears, so much pain... so many broken hearts. I love you so much! I hold onto ALL of our memories as if they were yesterday. I just can't get over this! I don't know what to do any more. I hide this pain every day until I'm home and then I just cry. Every morning when I see your picture, it feels like my heart is breaking all over again. Please help me to find the strength to get through this! I need to move on. I need healing. But it's so hard when all I need is my best friend! Please let your presence be known in my life. Wrap your arms around me and comfort me like you have so many times before. I love you so much Sean. I'd do anything to have you back here. With love.. and best friends forever...

I have a picture up of us on my fridge of when we were little kids. Every time I walk by it I cant stop thinking about you. I can't believe this happened and it is not fair!

Thanks to each and every one of you who have sent such kind and and honorable words to Sean and to us then and now. We are truly proud of Sean Raymond for the person he was and the surprising amount of friendships he established. Though we feel cheated that he was only ours for 20 years, we are still thankful for his existence and contributions to our lives as well as yours. Because of your tremendous outpouring of sympathy and emotional support, we have been able to move on with our lives,and of course include Sean Raymond in our everyday thoughts and prayers.Christina continues with college studies at Stark State and works at Anthe's. She moved back home and we're thrilled to have her back. Angela has kept busy with Manchester sports, still works at Anthe's, graduates high school this June, and is undecided about college choice. Craig and Susan continue to work, channel their sadness into others' misfortune, keep after the girls, and just plain be lazy in the jacuzzi. A wonderful little man made quilts for each of us including Grandma out of Sean's clothes. Amy, a co-worker of Sean's at Anthe's finished his scenic fall mural in the family room that Sean started on his Christmas break last year. Susan gathered some precious "Sean" memorabilia for a trunk kept as a piece of furniture in the family room to visit now and again, and the fireplace there is his memorial of pictures, trophies, flip-flops, sunglasses, etc.. So, the family room is pretty much "all about Sean"!! We will soon paint Sean's room and hang all of his art work there for a guest room. He remains in our hearts forever!!! What a great comfort to know that he is in your hearts as well!! Thanks again for the tribute to Sean Raymond!! We love you all.!! Love, Susan, Craig, Christina, and Angela

For what it is worth, there is so many memories and so many lives touched by Sean, including mine. He was not only my best friend but a role model. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think about him and the memories we shared. I have so much respect for you Craig and Sue. Both of you have huge hearts and I truly admire your strength through these times.

Sean was in my algebra class last semester and we started studying together. When i found out that he was in pre-calculus with me i was so happy. He could always make studying fun and i never got to thank him for all he has done. Sean was an amazing young man and always had a huge smile on his face and even when i was having a bad day his smile always made it better. Sean also got me back into playing soccer after knee surgery. Its the little things that i will always remember him by.
To His Family: I am so very sorry for your loss. I know nothing could fill the void left in your hearts but to see how everyone loved and cared about him so much helps. Hearing stories of his life always brings a smile and never lets his spirit die.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Stripe, Angela & Christine-
I was shocked to hear of the tradegy that occured. I can not believe such a thing could happen to such a close and loving family. I think I speak on behalf of all who knew Sean that he was a blessing to each of our lives. He will be missed but never forgotten. I thank you for all that you have taught me and I miss you all greatly. I am praying for your family and I love you all so much.

Craig & Sue and girls,
I remember Sean coming to our house when he was just a baby (my mom babysat him) I got to watch him grow up until he went to school. He was like another nephew running around the house. Watching Sean and Justin play for hours is just one of the many memories I will have.
Craig, Sue and girls.... Please know that I am thinking of all of you.

Tina...
All those nights hanging out our freshman year wouldnt have been the same without your brother around! Our daily pudding & malt ball "parades"(you know what im talking about) with sean & the parks, rogues hollow & cry baby, 6 flags, everything was more fun when Sean was around {no offense u are fun too :) }... usually you dont want your friends older siblings hanging out with you but he never acted like he was "in charge" or bossy...he just acted like he was our friend. He lit up every room he entered with his good looks and unforgettable smile. And I keep hearing him in my head, the way he obnoxiously emphasized my name when he said it, "a LEX a". Sean obviously had a huge impact even on people who hardly knew him, so I hope that as time passes you grow less sad and you & Angela realize how privileged you both are to have had him as your older brother; he loves you guys and he will continue to protect you as he always has...he will always be your Big Brother!! I love you Tina & Angela too!
Craig & Sue...
I know that no words can numb or take away the pain of losing a child at all, let alone your only son and first-born. And nothing I say will be something you haven't already heard. You both should feel very honored and proud for raising such a respectable son who touched the lives of so many. Thinking of the good times you had with him and knowing that if Sean were here he would know just what to say to make you laugh will help you through this. Miss you guys! You're in my thoughts and prayers...

I'm so sorry for this. It is sad that it had to happen to such a great person. Sean could put a smile on anyone's face, no matter what. Sean and I had some very memorable times, and I will never forget them. My father was the second officer on scene. He and myself will be keeping you and Sean in all of our prayers. I'm so sorry this had to happen.

My name is Tracy Kouri. Sean was in my Human Relations class. I am a mother of a 12 year old boy and 4 other children. I used to remark how Sean reminded me of my son in the future. Mikey would have loved Sean's hair and his total style. As a parent, my heart is broken for you. I have been praying that you will feel God's presence through this and that after weeks or even months from now, the people around you won't forget that grieving is a process with no time limit and that they will continue to offer themselves. My brother died when he was 10 and I remember that after awhile, everyone just kinda forgot about us. I know it is human nature and they mean no harm, but I know the pain doesnt just go away after a certain time. God Bless you all. I am so sorry for your loss.

Sean,
To find out such an amazing person like you has left this world just breaks my heart. We had a summer that I could never forget. Camping, Canoeing in the dark with Brandon, Going out on the Jetski and breaking down on the lake, building blanket forts with your family.... Being with you was always fun and you were up for anything that made you laugh and smile from ear to ear. It's almost as if you knew that you had to live your life to the fullest. I'm going to miss you soo much. But on the other hand, when I think of you, I'm just going to smile knowing that God gets to have an amazing angel with him and watching over us. I know you loved the ocean so much, and I can just imagine you in heaven, on your own little beach, waiting for the ones you love to join you. Rest in Peace Sean Raymond.
Love Always,
Misty Rae.
To the whole Stripe Family, Friends, and Carly,
You all are in all of my thoughts in prayers. God is watching over you and be proud that Sean had such an impact on so many people. God Bless Always.

To the Stripe Family,
You don't know me, and I didn't know your son personally. But I'm sure that he played soccer against my son Justin who went to Coventry. Justin was the same age as your son. I lost Justin in a car accident on Dec. 19, 2003, he was a senior. My heart goes out to all of you. It pains me every time I hear of another parent that has to go through this. It brakes my heart. Just know that your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, Always. If I can help in any way, please let me know.
Once again, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that God helps you through this sad time.
A Mom that understands!

My thoughts and Prayers are with you all during your time of loss. I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Sean through his wonderful girlfriend, as well as my friend, Carly. Sean will truly be missed by everyone. Anyone who had the blessing of meeting or knowing him will only know what a wonderful son, brother, and friend he was to us all. His warm smile and wonderful, outgoing personality will never be forgotten and will be charished forever. God Bless.

Dear Sean.. I know we didn't have a lot of memories together, but the ones we did have I still remember deeply. Your personality is unlike anyone I've ever met: always smiling, always trying to cheer someone up, and you have that special ability to make me laugh more than anyone I know! If I was down, your smile and your humor could make my day 100 times better.. you were an angel sent to earth, and you have touched my life. I never got a chance to thank you for that chair you made me in shop class... :) I still remember it all.
My deepest sympathies go to your family and friends, especially baby ang* I love you ang*
It is tough to say good bye.. but I know that one day, we Will see Sean again in God's heavenly kingdom.. and his smile will once again light up our lives*
I will miss you Sean!.. I will really miss you...

Mr. and Mrs. Stripe, Sean was a student in my Human Relations class, here at the University of Akron. He was not very talkative, but he maintained a B grade average in the class. My deepest sympathy goes out to you during this time and I will keep your family in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Sean. I'm Carly's older cousin, and I've always been so protective of her. As soon as she introduced me to him, I knew he would treat her like a princess. He's all she ever talked about, and he was always around at family get togethers. He really was the type of person that would automaticly put a smile on your face. I know that they truly loved one another. You raised a great son. I'm so sorry.
Carly- Always remember that Sean will be looking down on you. My heart breaks for you and his family. I've always tried to protect you from anything bad in this world, and now I'm helpless. Just remember that you can always call me even if it's just to have company. I love you so much.

Dear Stripe family,
We just wanted you to know that we are very sorry for your loss and that you will all be in our thoughts and prayers. My family will always remember Sean from all of those years in Manchester soccer as a teammate and friend of my brother Stevan. I don't think anyone could run circles around the other team like Sean could. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. We wish you the best.

To the Stripe Family-
I taught at St. Francis and had the pleasure of having Sean in my class for 7th and 8th grades. He is one of those kids that always seemed to be in a good mood and always ready with that one of a kind smile. Each time I would go into Anthe's long after those St. Francis days he would always speak to me even if he wasn't assigned to my table. Each time I think of Sean, a smile comes to my face. Please know that your family will be in my family's prayers. May God's love and the wonderful memories of Sean help you get through this terrible time of sadness. Know that support, love, and sympathy are with you during this difficult time. May God bless and keep your family.

I am sorry that I did not have the privilege of knowing Sean, but when I read Carly's name, I was mortified. He must have been a remarkable young man. I worked with Carly's mother several years ago and our daughters have known one another for a long time through school, twirling, etc. and so Carly holds a special place in our hearts. Our hearts break for the pain you are experiencing, Carly. Please know that you (and the rest of Sean's loved ones) have been in our prayers today and tonight at church. Love, Allayna Chisnell, Susan & Mike Jeffries

To the Stripe family-
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. When I heard the news, I couldn't believe what had happened. I went to St. Francis de Sales & Sean was a grade below me. My little brother, Andrew, was very good friends with Angela. I didnt know him personally but from what I heard from friends & also my co-workers, he was a sweet guy who always made people laugh. May your family find peace during this difficult time & know that all of you are in my prayers. God Bless.

I have known the stripe family for years and words can';t even describe how shocked i am to hear about this. My heart goes out to you Christina, I know you must be taking this really hard. Remember to take it day by day, and no matter how hard it is to pull your self out of bed in the morning you have to remember that God is with you.
Sean was a really great guy and he will be missed by everyone that knew him.

My love and prayers go out to the Stripe Family and friends of Sean. Sean was such a wonderful person that always had a smile on his face every time I saw him. Being a close friend of Carly's really let me see what a great person he was by the smile she had when his name was brought up. It's obvious that Carly loved him very much and I know she will miss him dearly. Knowing how much time they spent together, he will always be watching over her as well as his family.
