I only met Seth a few times. It was my wife Alycia who introduced me to him. They had been great friends for a long time. He even stayed with her and her family for 3 yrs. We will miss you Seth. And our hearts go out to your loved ones. God plucks the prettiest flowers first.

To Seth's Family,

I knew Seth Westfall in both Basic training and AIT. I have many found memories training with him, He used to talk constantly of his family especially his sister and his son. Seth's inner strength and determination was instrumental in preparing me for the hardships I would later face. For that I wanted to thank you. I will always remember him.

Dominique,

I am so sorry you are going through this. My thoughts are with you always. There is an old Irish saying that reads: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Love, Erika & Roberto

Steve and Robin,
This is such a bittersweet time. On the one hand there is such great loss for you and your family; I am so sorry for the deep loss you both must feel. I know you will miss Seth so much. And on the other hand, Seth is with our loving Savior, at peace and at rest. I am so glad that this life is not the end of things. I am so grateful that Seth was clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ and that one day we will all see him again. I know this life holds so many questions that none of us have the answer to. But I also know that Jesus understands our pain. May His presence, His gentleness and His faithfulness bring you comfort. Love you all. Vanessa
