My Dearest Sethy,

You hold a place in my heart full of some of my very fondest memories. There was moab (with all the fastest snails in the world), wendover, random nights of fun, noogies, and so so many laughs. I know that you are somewhere amazing surround by everything you adore and I know deep in my heart that you can feel all the love that is here for you. I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. You will be forever remembered, treasured, and thought of, for all my existance and many MANY others. With all my love, respect, and admiration,

I can't remember a time when I didn't know Seth. I'm so grateful for the memories I have of camping at Bottlehollow, Bear Lake, Lake Powell etc. I can't wait to sit and drink with Dad and Bill, and raise a glass to Seth. Goodbye friend.

Seth,

I have a great picture of you at Samantha and Phil´s wedding. I will cherish it forever. I know you will watch over all of us. That is just the kind of person that you are. I will always be sad to have missed the celebration of your life. I am out of the country traveling just like you would have been. The sweetness about you will forever be in our hearts. I will smile into the sunset tonight in Cancun and wait for the blessed day when we all meet again. Until then, Aloha.

I am very sorry, and very shocked to hear of Seth's passing. I met him in high school, and he is a person I will never forget. He was always kind, and very peaceful to be around. I know many people will miss him. If this helps at all, I know he idolized and truly missed his brother. They can watch over all of you together!! My sincere sympathy to everyone who knew Seth, especially his family.

I can only express to you my deep sadness over your loss. My department and district have been made better by knowing you and Seth through you. He lives on though your love. My heart is with you.

Seth,

How's the Other Side? Is Elvis still fat? I know you are surrounded by all the beauty you loved in life- always had great taste. Give Grayson my love and a hug. Don't worry about your Dad- he is a tough Ol' Fart. Julie, my Dad, Ginger, Bill and all his friends and family will take good care of him. If you had not heard I am moving home to finish my nursing degree so just for you I promise to torment him as much as possible.



The Puke is gone but your legacy will live on.



See you in the next life My Friend.

Seth, The shell is gone, but your spirit, boyish laugh, and infectious smile will always be in our hearts and minds. May we meet again someday.

Even as a child you had a glow, a smile, something special. Of course as a child myself, slightly your junior, I did not notice. Until later when I saw pictures of us together and where I look confused you have a knowing smile. Year’s later family get-togethers were always a hoot, because I had my cousins. We watched movies over at your place, just across the driveway from grandma. It was simply more fun than hanging out with the “older people” otherwise known as our parents! My mind flashes back to being thirteen and spending the summer in Moab. We were all running around carefree. Fun, loving, and amazing. Those are things you always have been and always will be.



You told me just a few months ago how proud you were of me. I will keep that with me forever. Just like I will keep you forever in my heart, where you will be safe and loved. There is not a family member, friend or acquaintance who you did not affect in some way, great or small. Thank you for staying in contact. Thank you for loving us all. We will miss you so much.



All my love and thoughts to the entire family and all the friends

Our heart goes out to you and your family. You have endured far more pain than you deserve. Perhaps knowing that our entire Lehigh community is reaching out to you and mourns with you in your grief is a small way of expressing our sorrow. You are in all of our thoughts.

Seth was by far one of the most amazing people I've ever known. I will miss sharing laughs and exchanging stories about the craziness of everyday life. The Grill won't be the same without him. My love and prayers are with his father, who Seth has told me much about, as well as his entire family. I like to think that his friends and co-workers at Cottonwood were like a second family and I know we will miss him as a brother.

Everyone who knew Seth knows how great of a person he was and will always be. When He was around there was no question you were going to be laughing, and having a great time. I only wish I could be there to share my memories of Seth with the people that loved him. My condolences to the Family, and to those who never got a chance to know such a wonderful person.

We only knew Seth in mexico, but what a place to reflect on how wonderful this life can be.

I can remember sitting on the sea wall with seth and his family, watching the sun set into the ocean. Seth was allways looking for that flash of green light at the end of the sun set.

Now I know he finally saw it and will be with us forever in each and every sunset we all share, no matter where we all are.

We love you Seth.
