"If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again." I will miss so many things about you that it's hard to just pick one! Your laugh, smile and those "HUGE" overflowing hugs! You brightened my life in so many ways and so many times! I will miss you my friend but I know that we will meet again someday and time. I love you Seth

Seth, you are a great friend and an even better man. You enlightened everyone around you when you made a presence. I enjoyed our time on earth together starting all the way back to our freshman year. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of your life and its a honor to have you a part of mine. Seth, you have a big heart and I could always come to you when times were hard. I know you are in a better place now and someday I will be able to see you again. I love you brother. We all miss you so much.

My deepest condolences to Seth's Family. We were shocked and saddened to hear the news of both Seth & Benny's passing.
My nephew, Michael was best friends with both Seth & Benny. I've had the honor of meeting them on several occasions.
I will remember Seth as a happy go lucky, big teddy bear. What a kind and caring individual he was.
Seth & Benny left quite an impression on the Kruk & Thomas family. They will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you.

Life will not be the same without you Seth. I remember the first time Logan met you, he told you he was going to "beat you up" - 4 years old and 3ft. tall. From then on, whenever he saw you, he would put his fists up and the two of you would "fight". I miss your bright smile that lit up the room when you walked in, and the best hugs in the world. You were the kindest, warmest person, not a person who met you disliked you. My heart is broken, but I know you are in a much better place. All of your friends are better people for having known you, I thank GOD for bringing you into our lives - Rest in peace my friend - WE love and miss you.

Seth was an amazing man & friend. I'll miss him dearly..even though I've been far away for a long time I'll always look back fondly & smile at the way he used to sweep me up just to "hear me squeal & giggle"! What a loving, gentle teddy bear.
Seth thanks for ALWAYS having my back at the door & for letting me win sometimes at pool to make me laugh & keep me company...Lots of love!!!!

Seth will be forever in our hearts. We are so sorry for your loss. Benny and Seth will be missed immensely. They will remain in the heart of the Kruk Family forever. The beanbag games won't be the same without those two. The looks on their faces were always filled with such joy and smiles. May they both rest in peace.

May God be with both families in this time of sorrow.
I wanted to let you know how truly sorry I am and would like to send my deepest sympathy to Seth's and Benny's family.
Seth and Benny were good friends of Michael Kruk. I met them both at my daughters wedding, Tom and Aubree Kruk. Though I didn't know them well, they left such a lasting impression with me. They had such a love of life and kind gentle manner about them. When I think of Seth and Benny, I can still see them doing their funny dancing at the wedding. It was hilarious.
They both brought joy to wherever they were and they will both be missed by many.

Mandy and Caleb,
Seth will remain in our hearts always. Lynn and I and the rest of our family feel as if we have lost one of our own. We are better people for having known and loved Seth and for the privilege to have him in our lives. His genuine caring for people, his unique laugh, his sense of humor and large presence have left a void that can never be refilled.
Seth and Benny were such a unique combination and meant the world to my son and my family.
Seth - we will love you forever and as always, "Good Game!"

Seth, I loved you like a brother. At this point in my life, March 5th, 2009 is the single most saddest day of my life. You had the biggest heart I have ever seen in a single person. You were always there for me and I just hope one day I will be half the man you were. I will see you again one day my brother.

Sethy....I miss you. I miss your laugh. I miss your super big hugs. You were such a good person to everyone and your memory will live on forever. The only thing that helps is knowing that God knew and appreciated your loving heart and that you're with Him now. I hope the rest of your journey is filled with joy as you live on somewhere else. I'm so glad that Noah got to meet you even though you were too scared to hold him! I love you Sethy Poo!! You were such a great friend!!

You were my first friend when I moved to Arizona. There were no questions asked you just accepted me for who I was. That’s the kind of person you were. We had a lot of good times together and I had one of my best vacations with you “Australia”. I will never forget the time I had to spend with you, just wished that I had more time with you. I never got to tell you how much it meant to me when you became my friend, but it meant the world to me. I have never met any one with the heart that you had for others, you liked and loved everyone. You were my only friend that would not shy away from my hugs but instead you would give them back. I will never forget that. Seth it was a privilege for me, to be able to call you my team mate, my buddy, and my first friend at Cactus. I will never forget the memories that we had together, and I hope that some day we can be together again to share many more. I will always remember #76 Seth Baker. You and your family are always in my prayers.
Love Always,

May GOD walk hand in hand with both of these young mens family and friends during their time of need. I know Mandy's world has been built around her two boys Seth and Caleb and nothing in the world could ever replace the loss of one, I am so sorry Mandy. Caleb, I know you have not only lost a brother, but your BEST friend, I am so sorry. Know in your mind and your soul he will float beside you through your troublesome times of recovery and still look over you through the years to come. So many people have been blessed to have been part of your family and we will all be there for you.

I miss you so much Seth! I can't even believe your gone. This is just way to unreal. I just keep thinking that I am going to see you walk into Shooters again so I can run up and give you a huge hug. You gave the best big bear hugs that all the girls would wait in line for. Your personality was so contageous and would make everyone smile, even if they didn't want to. You are greatly missed. I know your watching down on all of us, until we meet again.
Rest in peace buddy

Seth, you have made such an impact on my life that I could never forget you. I am a better person thanks to you. This is the worst pain I have ever gone through but I wouldn't trade a minute of it to not ever knowing you. I love you Tarzan.... Love, Jane

We wanted to let you know how truely sorry we are and would like to send our deepest sympathy to Seth's family.
Seth was one of our nephew Michael's best friends. We met him at 2 of the Kruk family weddings. Though we didn't know him well, he left such a wonderful impression on our family. We will never forget his kidness and love of life.
When I think of Seth, I can still see him lifting Benny in the air for their version of dirty dancing. Probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
It was a true pleasure to have met him, he will certainly be missed by all.
Sincerely,
Pam and Matt Hanson
