This is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

- Regina Spektor “On the Radio”

Whether you knew him on-the-air as Marley, knew him as a friend as Sean, or knew him on the Internet as JSpaceman, you’d come to the same conclusion: Sean was a helluva guy.

He loved music…almost to the extent of being a music snob (in the best possible way). If it was independent or obscure he loved it. And if it came from across the pond, he loved it even more.

He also loved to laugh. Sean could find humor in almost every situation. His response would be slow, deliberate, subtle, sarcastic…but always funny.

He was a valued employee, a vast music resource, a funnyman, but most importantly Sean was a great friend and will be missed.

i was the one who showed you the soundboard on your first day. my last words to you were, "if you need anything new guy - just call". i figured that i was the official new guy but you were newer and it was my duty to bring you under my wing. on my way home i heard your first break and knew i was in trouble. such a natural talent - i learned a lot on that drive home. i didn't stay in town much longer. i had other fish to fry - but i learned a lot from you by turining on the radio. respect!

I hung with Marley a few times. Mainly at Hooters for Monday Night Football. He was always funny and knew so much about music. The last time I saw him, he (as well as Tony B., Ken and Liz) refused to jam out with me at a Full Throttle show. Now you can jam out to the Beatles in person. I can't belive Marley's gone. He will be greatly missed. His family and everyone at 'KHY are in my thoughts and prayers.

I don't even really know what to say. This is all still just a surreal dream. It was a week ago today I got the terrible news. I keep thinking about the last time I saw you- December 25, 2005. I was walking about to walk out the front door and openned it, only to see you. I was so happy to see you. I regret that I didn't talk to you much that day, but I'm glad you got to meet my fiancè. I put in Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" the other day and remembered you and I briefly talked about that album over dinner. I just wish you knew I was pregnant. You're a 2nd cousin now. Her name is Salem Diane Nash. She was born on December 13, 2006. I wish we had Christmas in Logansport again this year and you could have met her. She's beautiful. I love you, Sean. You will never be forgotten. I'll never be the same when I listen to the Beatles anymore. I'll always think of you. You were an amazing person.

Marley was one of the best overall human beings I've ever had the pleasure of working and laughing with. He didn't judge and was there when you needed help everytime. I don't know how many times I needed help with something and Marley would drop what he was working on just to come over, crack a joke and help me. It was so rare when somebody would go out of their way to help and what was probably a small gesture on his part was something that made a huge impact on me, personally. Marley, you will be missed sorely here at the station and I'm still reeling that you're not here. You were such a part of everyone's life here and now there is such a vast emptiness left. I will miss your humor and friendship, my friend. You were such a good person.

Posted by John Schurz on 1/26/2007
Marley, thanks for all you did for us. We will miss you. And, yes, the Beatles ARE the greatest band ever!

I got a call Tuesday morning waking me up with my husband telling me to check my e-mail. What I found was the link to the Journal & Courier news story about Sean. I think I read it about 4 times before what it was saying really sank in. I kept looking at his picture and thinking that this can't be real. I had the pleasure of working with Sean for 4 years at the stations. I remember when I first met him, I wasn't quite sure what to make of him - but then after a few nights of being drug out for evening festivities, I spent the entire evening with my stomach sore from laughter. I enjoyed the random e-mails I'd get on workdays whether it'd be a one-line rant about someone who was on his bad list that day, some video he had tracked down online, some photo where he had superimposed Anthony's head onto a woman's body or simply sitting upstairs and listening to soundclips of his various prank phonecalls. You will be missed, Marley! Sometimes life just isn't very fair. Anthony, Liz, Strange and the crew, I hope you guys are all coping with the loss and you're missed as well! -Erica

I was not fortunate enough to know Marley as well as Randy but I can say that if good friends and good times were measured in gold, Marley would be the richest man I know.

Posted by Gail Lewis on 1/25/2007
There's nothing I can post that hasn't been said 100 times over. I will treasure my memories of Marley at WKHY. Whether it was watching The Rutles, him flipping off the camera during the Labor Day Telethone, heading to the House of Blues to see Tenacious D or him asking Ric of Def Leppard "Which one are you?". He'll always be my little Marley. Gail

Posted by Mike on 1/25/2007
Marley - that is how I knew you in "our" crazy radio world. I knew I could always count on you when it mattered and you never failed me in those efforts. For that I am grateful, and for everything that you contributed to my life both professionally and personally. Rest peacefully. Morgan

Posted by Cynthia Longoria on 1/24/2007
I met Marley while I was interning at the station. He always had some smart*** remark for me and thats why I loved him! He made my internship really fun. He knew I was gullible so he would constantly tease me. He was great! I remember at a remote broadcast we were all talking and joking and Marley lost track of the time and missed his on air cue. Ashlee had to scream "Marley!" and he jumped and ran to the mike! :) I will smile every time I think of you Marley. God Bless!

Posted by Nathan Berry (Seans brother) on 1/24/2007
I am at a loss of what to say. I just can't believe this happened. I love you so much my brother. I will always remember the fun times we had. This all seems like a bad dream. You will always be in my heart bro. I love you.

Posted by MT on 1/24/2007
If you took just one thing you learned watching Marley and apply it to your life, you'd be amazed how much better life is for not just you, but those around you. Rest easy, Marley.

Posted by Scott Gilmore on 1/24/2007
Marley...I realize that we all take things for granted in life. Individuals, who in a subtle way can seem to make our day a little better. Your wit, humor and most of all, seeing you sitting at your desk with your headphones on, will be sorely missed. I wish that I could have got to know you a little better than I did. Reading what everyone who knew you, had to say about you and your impact on their lives, shows me just how special a person you were. Very few people like you come around in life. Rest in peace...

Posted by Kristen Hahn on 1/24/2007
BUDDY! WOW...you were always one of the Hahn's. I just hope that you knew that. We always the crazy ass jokes and the long laughs.RIP buddy bear...WE LOVE YOU!!

They say that time heals all wounds. However, this comes as such a shock that I haven't even begun to believe that this is real, much less starting to heal. For me, WKHY was and still is a second family to me. Sean was a big part of that. From playing music from some obscure band that he was sure would become huge to showing me the ropes in the production studio, he quickly became one of the many reasons why I liked working there. He always made me feel welcome when I first arrived and, after I left, was always a highlight of any Lafayette visit. It saddens me to have to say goodbye to a person whose time came far too soon, but I will always cherish the memories and our friendship. Godspeed, my friend.

Posted by Jason Turner on 1/24/2007
I called a good friend last night on his birthday and the first thing he said was "Did you hear about Marley?" Broke my heart. Sometimes you're lucky enough to carry the people you crossed paths with along with you. Marley was certainly one of those people. Marleys family, friends and co-workers are in my thoughts and prayers.

Posted by David L. Reseigh on 1/24/2007
Sue and Jess and I were very sorry to hear about Marley. I am sure it is not only a loss to his immediate family but all of you as his friends and co-workers as well. We got to know Marley thru our participation in the Duck Race, just the way we met all of you, but Sue and I used to see him out and about occasionally in the evening sometimes too. Sean was one of those people that had a dry wit about him that I like in people. He could be a humorous guy in a subtle (not blast you in the face) kind of way. I wish that I had known him a little better. You guys take care. Dave

Posted by Paulinerose Evans on 1/24/2007
Marley came into Village Pantry when I worked a few times. He seemed like a guy that was so full of life. My heart and prayers are with his family now. :)

Posted by Lesa Moore on 1/24/2007
My prayers are with Sean's family at this difficult time. Even though I didn't know him that well, I could tell he had a kind heart. I will always remember his smile!! I would imagine he is smiling and talking with Jesus at this very moment. I'll see you in Heaven when I get there. God Bless!

Posted by Mike Warner on 1/24/2007
Although I never had the pleasure of knowing you personally, I always enjoyed dealing with you as not a competitor, but as a counterpart. You were always a pro, and never once did I hear anyone speak poorly of you. You made Lafayette radio better, and you are missed. I hope there's a great big beautiful production studio waiting for you up there, with all the toys, no deadlines and no "constructive" criticism. Make it creative...

Posted by Susan B on 1/24/2007
Marley, It sure doesn't seem right walking into your office and not seeing you sitting there with your headphones on. Of course some of us knew you weren't really working on commercials, but listening to those weird songs of yours. (Smiles) I'm pleased to say our relationship had progressed to one of those "salespeople" you actually took your headphones off for to see if you could help. You'll be missed buddy, and Rock On!

Posted by Bryan on 1/24/2007
Your time here was short, but you are home now.Rest assured that your memeory will live with us forever. Peace my Brother!

I respected your talents and opinions more than you ever knew. You always made me laugh! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I'll miss you!

~I worked with "Marley" years ago..altho time has a way of sometimes making it seem like it was only 'yesterday'...was an entirely diff 'crew' at that time...but many good memories of a dude who always had time to stop by the front desk & say "Hello" with a smile..party on in R&R Heaven~

Posted by Nancy M. on 1/24/2007
To the friends and family of Marley, I'm truly sorry to hear about his passing. I hope that you can find some comfort in knowing how many people cared about him and how many lives he touched, and that the music he loved will help you feel his spirit close by. In sympathy, Nancy M.

Posted by Ski Anderson on 1/23/2007
Sean, you were a lot like a Beatles song. On first pass simple and easy to understand. But as time goes by the intricacies of the harmonies and the complexities hiding beneath the surface become evident. A great many of us knew you... as Sean, Marley or JSpaceman, but I would guess very few of us REALLY knew you. I miss your sense of humor, the sarcasm, the chance to have you tell me about some new band that no one else in Lafayette had ever heard of. Safe travels friend. Peace.

Posted by Charlotte on 1/23/2007
You will be greatly missed. Thanks for the wonderful DJing on my many late nights of paper writing.

Posted by Dan Somers on 1/23/2007
I have agonized all day as to whether to post something here or not. I am a very internal guy when it comes to things like this.......I've said my prayers and shed my tears. I'll keep my feelings about Sean to myself, they hold a special place in my heart, but I'd like to share some good Marley stories.....I think it's important to celebrate his life. When I met Marley in 1999, I knew that we would be friends. Something just clicked. The old KHY gang (Me, Morgan, Beth, Gail, Shane, Chris James, Milksy, Kohl, Melissa, Lisa, Beau, Stacy, and others) spent a lot of time having a lot of fun. It was really like a big "family" and somehow, the anchor of it all was Marley. From the Def Leppard / Joan Jett show in 2000 to staring at the chick singing Karaoke at Cox's Pub in her leopard skin pants y'all, Marley was the anchor. Marley loved his British bands, but for some reason I could never get him on board for Judas Priest, Alan Parsons, or Def Leppard.....always funny to listen to him try and convice me that those weren't "real British" bands. We spent many many hours listening to the great Wesley Willis and early Tenacious D as well as working on his 'Anatomy Academy' CD that he and Scott put together. If you have had the privilege of enjoying it...it really is brilliant. For some reason, it just never seemed like a good time, unless he was there just being himself. I could go on and on, the stories are endless. I've read the tributes here and at MySpace and it warms my heart to know that he has so many friends that think so much of him. If there is a heaven, and I sure hope there is. I know that he is up there with his friends and family members that have passed before him and of course with all his musical heroes. I am sure that he will keep a spot on stage for all of us to join him someday...... Remember: "The heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you're loved by others." And he is most definitely loved. Rock On!!!

Posted by Ben Andree on 1/23/2007
I enjoyed talking about seriously obscure bands with Marley, he is the only other person who actually knew who I was talking about! He will truely be missed be all!

Posted by Scott Milks on 1/23/2007
Dude, I was drawn to you initially because you wanted to be the fifth Beatle. We had that in common. I can only hope and pray that you are up there right now teaching George and John a few things about music! I know you would and could. There's so much more to say that can't be said here. I'm crying on the inside, but I know that "Frank" is always near and that's what keeps me moving on. Love, Al

I'll tell you,after finding out that the incident in particular took place right behind my own home,I was devastated.I considered Marley one of the coolest guys next to strange and harv around.When I would call in and ask for motley crue,he would play it for me.Simply put;Marley is and was a kick as slammin guy-you go,brother.I' m already in the process of writing a song in his memory. It's called "Heaven has a Hero" rock on forever,Marley-you will be missed sincerely,Robert "Shredder"Carson

Marley , I love you and I miss you. Your friendship was a gift that I will forever cherish. May God bless you on your way home.

Posted by Marci on 1/23/2007
I’ll miss having someone to annoy with my random singing, someone to stop and chat with before leaving work each day, someone to show me the oddest internet clips that were usually only ever funny in a messed up way. :) You were a great mix of subtle humor, mystery, musical intellect, thoughtfulness, and occasionally a grumpy butt. Marls, you were taken from us much too soon and will forever be missed.

Posted by Andy Howard on 1/23/2007
We're all going to miss you Marley. I wish I had gotten to know you better, but the little bit I did know was amazing. You were always able to bring a smile to anyone's face. Your memory stays in all of our hearts. Wish you were here...

Posted by harv on 1/23/2007
Marley is and always will be the funniest person i know, from his dry wit to his endless practical jokes, his smile and his uncanny knack in finding humor when most would look past a chance to make a person laugh. his laughter and his friendshiip are the gifts that he shared with us all, Marley you will be missed and never forgotten, ...on the wings of angels welcome him home...

Posted by Melissa Johnson on 1/23/2007
Marley, I already miss your sense of humor, your kindness towards others and most of all, that mischievous smile! You were one of a kind and I feel blessed to have had you in my life for as long as I did. You are deeply missed but will certainly never be forgotten! Mel

It's been nothing but a pleasure working with Marley five years now. His sense of music. His craft in the studio. His big brown eyes and that turned up grin of his just before his wacked-out sense of humor kicked in. That was the best! Miss you, man.

Posted by Mary "Mary" Ruse on 1/23/2007
I worked with Marley, but I don't consider what we did work. Marley made me laugh, alot. I remember my last night on the air I gave him my headphones. He was so excited, because his weren't working well. Marley, myself, and Scott Milks entered the studio one afternoon. Marley had his gutiar and Scott had a drum, I think, and the three of us cut a version of "Summer Breeze". We were bad...but man we had sooo much fun and laugh...oh my God did we laugh that day!! Marley, rest well..."your in the arm of the Angels...may you find some comfort here."

Posted by Stacy Clark on 1/23/2007
I had the pleasure of working with Marley at 'KHY for seven years. I will truly miss your quick wit, your dry sense of humor, and most of all your gentle smile. Peace Out.

We always shared an ecelectic taste in music, much of which the average Joe had never heard of. Of course, my taste was better than yours! :) I will always think of you whenever I hear Gomez, Manic Steet Preachers and more.

Marley... It's so hard to believe you're gone. I'd only known you less than a year, and though I wish I'd known you longer, I'm so glad I had the privelege of knowing you at all. You were such an individual and made me smile everyday. Thank you so much for the hug on Friday night. I'll always remember it. I'll miss you.

Marley will be missed by all whom he touched. We'll miss his wit, his knowledge, his gentle smile, his talent and his passion for music. What an incredible loss to our community and everyone in it. I'm proud to have worked with Marley this one and a half years. Oh how I wish it could be forever!

Posted by Craig on 1/23/2007
I had the honor of working with Marley for almost 2 years at KHY...back in the last 90's. When Strange called to tell me the news, I was crushed. Even though he & I haven't talked in years, I can still see this skinny little dude wearing a Beatles shirt, working late in the Production Room...doing his thing! Lafayette Radio will miss a true talent & a great voice. Rest in peace and remember "...in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."
