Such an amazing and caring person. I met him some years ago and I would stop by all the time while working for Russell County Water Authority. The talks that we had will always be cherished. He helped me through a lot just sitting at a table and talking with me about life. He truly is an inspiration to me and I hope that he is having fun riding his motorcycle on the streets of Gold. Much love to ya Brother!

Face & Smoke says
Face and Smoke will miss your genuiness. They don’t make men like him anymore: made with integrity and morals. Knew when to set boundaries. And always encouraged others to persevere through the hard times life brings. That with faith in God and love in our hearts we will make it through. We will miss you more than you know. Ride those golden roads pain free and healthy. Till we meet again. R.I.P. To Seth and family we send our heartfelt condolences to each of you. Remember the memories. They will carry you a lifetime when nothing else will.
