Seth was proud to serve his community as a volunteer member of both the Albany Fire Department and Albany EMS as well as serving on the Wiota Fire Department and as part of the Marine Corp Crisis Response. Seth loved the outdoors – always enjoying the time he spent biking, rocking climbing, kayaking, camping, hiking, collecting gemstones, and learning everything he could about astronomy. He was also an avid deer hunter and liked to target shoot with his crossbow.
Seth was a man of many talents. If something was broken, he always found a way to fix it. He was always trying to learn something new and became quite good at brewing his own beer. He also had a competitive spirit and made sure to challenge his family and friends to board games, card games, and chess. Seth’s personality was one of a kind. He was witty, funny, and had the best sense of humor. He never allowed himself to have any down time and was always on the go. He was always willing to help anyone out in their time of need no matter the time or day. He was a unique soul that will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by everyone who knew him.
