Seth. It has been 12 years since you stepped through the veil. I cannot believe it has been that long. I remember our last conversation in 2012, when you had moved to Boston, settling in with your job, making friends and getting to know some of the professors at Harvard. With your sharp intellect and charming personality, I am certain you would have succeeded at whatever you desired. The world misses you. I pray you are
flying free and are enchanting and entertaining our loved ones who have made the journey before us. I cannot wait to be reunited with you all one day.
My memories of our time together on Whidbey Island have become some of my all time favorite stories.
Loving you always,
Marmie

The DeRamus family was fondly remembering Seth a couple weeks ago, what a sweet soul! Thinking of his family and praying for them.

In my younger years, I met a extra-ordinary boy who could talk about anything, From the daily Wikipedia page to the new places he would discover himself. One of my favorite was hearing about the stories from the Virgin Islands. Today is a sad day because I did not know he was no longer with us till now. but his Obituary was outstandingly correct about how he was. And I wish I could say is.

Seth, you were such a joy to be around.

Today, I recall the pain my heart felt this very day one year ago. I think of you often- as well as your mom, dad, and brothers. (Your mom is such a sweetheart!) My hope is that you've found peace. You will always be in my heart, and my prayers. Your brothers, your dad, and your mom are in my thoughts, and my prayers. Sending them comforting wishes on this very difficult day.

you are loved, and you are missed-

Seth was such a bright young man with an enthusiasm for life, learning, and, of course, classical music. He had a kind soul and a contagious energy, and I know that he will be truly missed by the many individuals he undoubtedly touched in his short life. His family should be proud of the caring, thoughtful, unique, and adventurous young man that he was. I will always remember him fondly.

Hey, really sorry that Seth died. It is hard to believe that he is no longer in this world. I had a great time at Allgood with him and will always remember him as a unique and kind individual.

Seth, you were one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever met. I cherish every memory I have of you and will always remember the amazing conversations we had and the music we made. We grew up together for such a short yet powerful time. You made an impact on this planet and in my life forever. I will miss you always.

Seth, you always loved Ophelia and I remember being surprised when we talked on the phone that you wanted to know everything she was doing, saying and how tall she had grown. What a tender heart! From mother to mother I feel a tiny portion of your grief Teresa. I'm glad we had a chance to know your son.

Seth was a real treasure, and a pleasure to have in my life. I'll always remember fondly the year that I knew him, especially the few months he helped liven up my home. Late night discussions of Heidegger, music and the nature of being. There will never be another like you, and the world is truly poorer for your loss.

Seth, you were just on my mind yesterday. I was wondering how you were doing...and then I sign on to facebook, and see that you have passed away. I cant even begin to describe how I feel right now. I havent seen you since you left VA (and Whole Foods) to go to Boston. We have missed you buddy. Im so sorry that things went this way..you were truly a beautiful soul. My heart goes out to your family. Rest in Peace Seth.

Seth was a true individual and I knew him not well but he was very kind and always polite. His laugh was infectious and quick. He seemed to be constantly searching for that "one thing". My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Sometimes this dark scary world overwhelms us. This is what we all have in common. When we lose a light in this world, it touches us all. It is our lights which complement the celestial beacons which hang on the dark mantel above our world and reflect God's love. As our lights leave the gravity of this physical plane, we return to our origins of positive energy... ready to recycle and rediscover. Seth,I have faith in your ability to manifest your light once again... and return to rediscover what you loved most about your time here. Extraordinary souls always do~

Seth, love never dies, it just goes on. I loved you from the beginning and I love you still. I will miss your beautiful infectious smile that could light up a room, from that sweet smile as a baby and toddler to a young adult. I will miss the way you always said "Yah, yah, yah!" as you agreed with someone. I will miss your compassion, when as a small boy we found a dead robin and you felt we had to give it a proper burial.
The world will miss your achievements and accomplishments. There was so much you could have given to mankind. I will miss holding your children and so very much more.
Sleep in peace my sweet prince. Grandma Becky

Seth, I really appreciate you being a best friend to me son, Daniel. I'm sorry I never told you while you were alive. He had such a close bond with you and it blessed my heart so much that he had you to talk to. I wish that I had taken the time to get to know you better.

I'm already missing the talks, walks, music, and camaraderie we shared..I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to call him about random things these past few weeks. I'll hold the time I spent with my brother close to me for the rest of my life. Love you, Seth.

Seth! your personality, your sense of humor, your intelligence- simply put, your presence is greatly missed. Each day with you was a lesson of education, music, or history! And, you were surely a good teacher. In this most difficult time, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You were a great young man, and you've left an imprint in all of the hearts you've encountered. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I pray that you've found peace. Forever in my thoughts. Rest Peacefully.

I still have a clear picture in my head of Seth sitting at my kitchen table...and walking around the house with classical music playing loudly...while he conducted. Damn, this is difficult.

Seth had a great sense of humor, he could make me laugh like nobody else. When I visited him in Boston and we went to grab lunch, I could barely eat my food I was laughing so hard, teary eyed and red faced. I remember in that moment of intense joy feeling a great appreciation for his ability to do that as it had real medicinal value to me. He was very quick witted, sharp as a whip, and smart as hell. His ability to comprehend abstract and complex ideas, articulate them, etc, was above and beyond. If Seth wasn't a genius, he was definitely gifted.

Seth was one of a kind, incredibly unique and downright irreplaceable. For those who were not fortunate enough to know him, they really missed out on something special.

Seth, you will be missed, brother.

Seth, you will always be remembered. Someday I will even get through "War and Peace" in your honor.

April 11, 2013

Dear Seth's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. May the presence of family and friends, combined with your faith, carry you through your grief and bring you comfort. I am grateful I got to know Seth. Seth was a true gentleman and obviously so much more. Seth was kind, pleasant, genuine, bright, creative and always helpful. I am missing him and filled with sadness but I will always remember his spirit of gentleness and our shared mutual respect. Seth will always be remembered with love. R.I.P. Seth, ox

i did not know Seth but I went to high school & college with his mother. I know he had to have been caring, unconditional, a little stubborn and loving of all things. I wish I would have met you Seth because you are your mother's son. I love ya Tee and I will not say I know or understand your pain. The one thing I do know is God love you and will alway be present and know He will never forsake you. Big Hugs to you and your family. D. Diana Swayze
