Seth was a devoted son, brother and friend. He enjoyed basketball, skateboarding, video games, and gardening on the “family farm”. Seth loved spending time with his dog, Isaac, and his cat, Gus. Seth, known to his friends as “Sethro”, will be remembered for being a Bob Marley fan, animal lover, movie collector, making Wal-Mart trips at all hours and chillin’ with his friends. “Sethro” had a special gift for making people laugh.
