It is difficult to find words at this unexpected loss. Seth was in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard wardroom with me (and many others) between 2016 and 2019. Seth was an intelligent and thoughtful friend to serve with. He was a great team member, lifting up others, always ready to work and always ready to laugh.

I grieve for the loss of my friend, and much more so for his family's loss. From the way his face lit up when he talked about her, he obviously took real delight in the time he had with Naomi. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Dear family and friends of Seth,
On behalf of the United States Submarine Veterans, we offer our sincere condolences at Seth´s passing. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are always saddened whenever a fellow "Bubblehead" departs on Eternal Patrol. He served with honor on the USS Pasadena (SSN-752).
To our "Brother-of-the-Phin" we say, "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Fair Winds and Following Seas." Thank you for your service to our country.
To the family... "may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV).
Jim Sandman, FTC(SS) Ret,
National Chaplain, USSVI.

My heart is heavy and I am saddened to hear Seth has left us. I met Seth in January 2016. We spent over six years together and were married for 4.5 of those years. We shared many memories, laughs, and time together that I will always treasure. He loved serving his county in the US Navy and furthering is career with advance degrees and certifications. He also loved being a dad to his daughter Naomi. My thoughts are with his family and daughter during this difficult time.
