Seth was 23 years old when he passed away. He leaves behind, parents Clint & Cyndi, 21 year old sister Ava, and 22 month old niece, Athena. Seth graduated from Mansfield Summit High School in 2020, where he played varsity baseball. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Personal Financial Planning from Texas Tech University in 2024. He dreamed of one day starting a program to teach kids financial literacy. While at Texas Tech, he was an active member of Beta Upsilon Chi fraternity, forming lasting friendships and deepening his faith. Seth was an incredibly hard worker. From June 2024 to 2025, he worked at Strittmatter Wealth Management Group, where his dedication and drive quickly made an impression. In June 2025, Seth moved to Austin to begin a promising new role as a financial planner at Creative Planning.

​

A devoted man of God, he was passionately involved in his community and lived his life grounded in faith, service, and love for others. Seth was exceptionally loyal, disciplined, and a go-getter. He had a gift for holding on to the people who mattered.

​

He was in the gym nearly every day and always looking for ways to grow, push himself, and move forward in life. He was dedicated to staying active and healthy. He was passionate about strength training and running, and never missed an opportunity to support others in their own fitness journeys, whether working out alongside them or cheering from a distance. He believed in showing up fully with joy and gratitude in everything he did. He rooted faithfully for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, the Texas Rangers, and the Dallas Cowboys. Seth had a deep love for music and found joy in sharing it with his friends. Concerts were sacred spaces for him as places of connection, energy, and light. He had just attended a concert the night he passed away, doing what he loved most: living fully, surrounded by music and friends.

​

Those close to Seth say he was the kind of person who always put others first. He was deeply respected for his kindness, generosity, and the way he carried himself. He was a class act in every sense. He would give the shirt off his back to a stranger without hesitation. His friends looked up to him, not just for how dependable he was, but for the way he treated people. Whether you needed a ride, advice, or someone to show up for you, Seth never had to be asked twice. His selflessness shaped the way he lived and the way he’ll be remembered. Seth lived with infectious joy that spilled into every room and every heart. Though his time with us was too short, we rejoice in the promise that he is fully alive in the presence of God and that we will see him again.
