Seth A. Hildreth Obituary

God Bless you Brother...... Glad I was blessed to know you..... See you later.....

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and to also let the Hildreth Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one, Seth A. Hildreth US Army Specialist. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Seth, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Seth, I ran the Run for the Fallen this morning. I ran in your memory. You name and picture proudly displayed on my shirt.
Thank you, thank you, you gave all for myself and my family.
God bless you and your family.

Seth, I never knew you and only met your dad once. I want you to know that you will never be forgotten for the person you were and the service to your country you gave.

In memory of my son
Spc Harry (Buck) Winkler III
KIA 11/12/06 Samarra, Iraq
82nd Airborne 2-505th PIR

my heart is sadden as i just heard about the loss of seth as our high school reunion is around the corner. as i had a chance to know seth he was a good young man. i thank him so much for loving us to the point of fighting for us to make sure we are okay. you will be missed but never forgotten.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Hildreth!

To the Hildreth family,
I just found this page and I cared about your son deeply. I met Seth when I met my future hubby Tony Braun. Seth was in the barrick room next to Tonys. So there was many nights of listening to Seth play his guitar for hours. He was always smiling, always joking, and he could make anyone in the room happy and just be excited to be around such an all around awesome person. I still remember the last night Tony and I got to spend with Seth before his advance party left for Iraq. And I rememeber the day when Tony told me the bad news. Although I had only known Seth for about 7 months I considered him a close friend. I was shocked, no this cannot be, what do you mean he's not coming back? I cried and I cried knowning that ya'll lost your son and I'm so sorry. I have a couple of pictures of Seth I want to put on here. I think about him daily and I know Tony does as well, they were very close and I know he misses his buddy. I hope ya'll are doing okay. I'm thinking about going to Ft. Hood tomorrow for Memorial Day so I can find Seth's name and pay my respect and let him know we love him and miss him dearly.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Spc Hildreth and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I served with seth, he was actually in my platoon for a while, and we spent many nights together at NTC before the deployment. There isnt enough room on this site for me to explain what kind of guy he was. I was there that night it happened, and I will never in my life time forget seth or the times we all shared with him, I love this guy and my heart still hurts just as much as it did that day. I miss him, I really do, you'll never be forgotten brother, never...

I am a mother of another fallen hero. My son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III was KIA 11-12-2006 in Samarra, Iraq. I know the pain you must be feeling right now and will feel forever. May God's healing love and comfort be yours for all the family. I want to offer you my support. Please call on me at any time as together we can find comfort and support. Debbi

I wished to submit this poem as evidence that Americans will NEVER forget the service or sacrifice of your beloved Soldier - Respectfully - Glen Nevogt

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

I was informed of Seth's death through a mutual friend of ours while I was coming back from a Labor Day vacation. For the rest of the ride home, I was terribly saddened. Seth and I had hung out several times together just playing guitar and having fun. He was always joking around and in a good mood. He always made everyone around him smile. It had been several years since I spoke to him last, but I still remember him like it was yesterday. I think about him often and will never forget him. God bless you Seth, and may you rest in peace.

The 1-10 CAV is a special group, and Seth is to be honored among these martyrs who have given everything to secure the freedom of the Iraqi people. My heart is heavy for you and your family as we walk this road of mourning together. Even so, we hold the the blessed hope that one day we too will be rejioned with our loved ones.

May the God of peace guard your hearts and minds with His peace in the midst of this storm.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Hildreth family in the loss of Seth. I did not know Seth, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Love and Peace

Tom

Seth and I were in the explorers together. I remember his smile and his laughter. I am so sad to hear about his death and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be missed.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. We will be always grateful for the sacrifice that your Soldier made. God bless you and your family with comfort and peace. We will not forget.

Military Parents,

To the Family of Spc. Seth A. Hildreth:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.
