He grew up in Orange and graduated in 2019 from Little Cypress Mauriceville High School. Seth was a remarkable and intelligent young man with an old soul and a deep love for fitness. Growing up, it was always a dream of Seth’s to join the military, and he accomplished that dream by joining the U.S. Army in 2019. He was extremely proud of his service in the Army and often compared stories with his father. Seth enjoyed singing in choir while in school and playing video games.
