Seth loved music. He wrote, composed, and performed his own songs, and enjoyed playing his favorite artists’ music as well. He also had a profound love of animals.
We will be forever grateful to the staff in the ICU at Holston Valley Hospital, especially the nurses who cared for Seth. You treated him so sweetly as if he was your own loved one. You were aware of, and took control of every one of his needs. You talked to him and soothed him when you thought he might be uncomfortable. And you extended your kindness to us his family as well. We will never forget your compassion.

Seth didn’t like being the center of attention, and per his wishes there will be no funeral services. A celebration of his life will be hosted by his family for his close friends at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Hawkins County Animal Shelter.
