I have known Seth since the day of his birth. I am his grandmother. I fell in love with him that day. I watched him grow into a handsome young man. His hugs and kisses were so many. I still hear him call me Nanna in my dreams. I "died" the day he died. I am going to be there in the new restored earth to here Jesus call his name and see him stand on his feet. I will sorely miss him until that future day. He was always happy, happy, happy!

I, too, knew Seth from Teen Court. He was a great person and a friend to all. Prayers go out to friends and family during your time of sorrow. That huge smile will truly be missed.

I have known Seth pretty much my entire life, he came into my life when I was about 4 years old and we grew up thick as thieves. He and I being the oldest were obligated to boss the younger ones around. Seth wasn't just my cousin, he was my "big little" brother! I miss you like crazy baby boy and I honestly don't think this will ever get any easier! I love you bubba and I wish I could have just one more bear hug from my big brother and see that beautiful smile one more time. Fly high baby boy!<3

Seth was my bailiff in Bastrop County Teen Court and I had the pleasure of getting to know him in that setting. He had a smile that I'll never forget...he was a genuinely lovely person. It must be so hard for your family losing him,and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of your great loss. Rest peacefully, Seth...we are blessed to have known you, even for such a short time.

Rashel and family, I am so sorry for your loss.

Remembrance

Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When you were all together.

Going home too soon.... But Going Home. :-)

Seth was an amazing, young man. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, and everytime I saw him, he would just light up my world. :) I could be having a horrible day, and whenever Seth came around, that changed very quickly for me. My heart is with Seth's friends, and family. Love and light to everyone involved in this awful tragedy. <3 xoxoxo
