Mr. Setzer had a huge impact on my son. He was Kyle's 5th grade teacher during a brief stay at Alt Campus, and he would hunt for frogs with Kyle at recess. He had some meaningful conversations with Kyle about faith in a world where that could have gotten him in trouble. He will be missed.

I will miss Mel at Puster Elementary. He would always have great stories to tell in the mornings when he would sub. He loved his family and his dogs. He was a sweet man.

Mel- While our time knowing each other has been short, I enjoyed our talks about sports. Especially football. Your kindness and personable personality was always refreshing when we ran into each other. You will be missed.

My daughter Ava loved having Mr. Setzer as her substitute! She said he had some of the best stories. He will be missed. Our condolences.

To Juenessa and family, what a blessing to have had such a Christian gentleman for a father and a...
