Seth James Hanks, a man known for his large personality and infectious spirit, was born on September 5, 1978, in Dyersburg. He departed this world on October 20, 2024, in Linden.
His passions were as vibrant as he was, with a particular love for his chickens and the art of ginseng digging, activities that brought him immense satisfaction and connected him to the beauty of nature. These interests reflected his appreciation for life’s simple pleasures and his deep-rooted connection to the earth.
Seth is survived by his father and mother, Mark Hanks and Lynne Ruthsatz.
He will be profoundly missed, but his legacy will endure in the hearts of everyone he met.
