Seth worshiped his Lord Jesus. Seth loved his wife Debbie and his family all of them. Seth enjoyed singing, dominoes, western tv shows and movies. Seth enjoyed his life. We both loved him dearly. His wife Debbie is a very dear friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Seth basically all my life. My parents and Seth's parents were best friends in West Columbia. My Dad was one of his teachers in WC High School. Seth and Rita, could easily have been my older brother and sister. While the years have gone by, I have been able to stay in touch with Seth by Facebook. I know he will be missed. Prayers for Seth, you, your family, and for all who loved him.
