I am so sorry for your loss. I coached Seth and Kevin in track and cross country at Kempsville. I remember Seth as being a joy to coach because of his heart, and drive. With people like Seth and Kevin on your team, you can't lose.
God Bless your family and friends in this great time of sorrow. He will be missed. May heaven rejoice in his arrival.

Was so saddened to hear of Seth's passing. I ran cross country and track with him at Kempsville. He was such a nice person back then and judging by all the kind words in this book, he continued to be a friend to all. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I had the privilege of getting to know and playing softball with Seth on the Shockwaves this past spring. In the short amount of time I've known Seth he always brought a smile to my face. He was kind, humorous, and a giving person. He had a way of bringing up the spirits of those who were around him. I am saddened to hear that he has passed on and my thoughts and prayers our with his family. May God comfort you in this time of grief. #42 will be for ever remembered!
