Seth Huston Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Just how tough was Seth Huston? Plenty, if you ask anyone who encountered the rambunctious youngster who grew up to be a Marine. His father, Steven Huston, can relate a story about his son falling off a chair at a bowling alley and fracturing his skull on the concrete floor. The little guy never shed a tear. "He was a daredevil. He was always getting hurt, but that boy would never cry," said Steven Huston. "He was always smiling, laughing." Seth Huston, 19, of Perryton, Texas, died Aug. 21 during fighting in Iraq''s Anbar province. He was based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He had a love of the outdoors that couldn''t be suppressed even in Iraq, where his military camp included a small lake. "We decided to go ahead and send him a fishing pole," his father said. "So there they were, with 60-pound packs on their backs and M-16s strapped to their chests, walking around this lake and fishing. He was fishing in Iraq. Can you believe that?" Huston is also survived by his mother, Renee.

I never got the honor of meeting Seth, but my Son Shawn served with him and considered him a dear friend. He is actually naming, his soon to be, first born son Seth, in his honor. Seth always apart of our family. God Bless and keep you.

Father we entrust our brother Seth to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Seth in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Lance Cpl Huston. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Lance Cpl Huston knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience and for that we can never say thank you enough. Thank you Lance Cpl Huston!

In Memory of Seth ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


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.

Dear Family and Friends of Lance Cpl Seth Huston. I wanted you to know that today I ran a mile in memory of Seth. While running I held you up in my prayers that your memories of Seth may be sweet and that your comfort and peace grow with each passing day.
I look forward to the day when all of us will have the chance to be with and hug our loved ones again in heaven.

First I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family. I run a group on Yahoo called NoSoldierLeftBehindMemorialProject. We are very dedicated to stitching memorials for our "Fallen Soldiers" NOK. One of my stitchers chose James' name to stitch for. The memorial is very patriotic and bears the Name/Rank/Hometown/Age/War Fought in/date of death and where our soldier fell. These are matted and framed and sent to the family at no cost. If you know the family please contact them and have them call me at 832-527-2344. We need to get this to the family.

Sincerly

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous 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, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Seth became like a relative to me when in August, 2004, I read of his loss just a month after losing my son, LCPL James Huston. As far as we know, the 2 boys never met, although they shared the same love of hunting and both joined the Marines and then ended up together in Iraq. They are now Marine Brothers forever.

You must be so proud of Seth. I feel blessed to have read about your son, the valient soldier. My brother is in Iraq right now and I pray every day for his safe return.

Seth was truly an GREAT Man, signing up for the Marine Corp during a time of war... what a tremendous soldier.

My prayer are with your family for peace and continued joy and happiness and the Man he was.

Much Peace to you,

God Bless,

Shannon
