SETH MICHAEL BARNES

FOREVER 19

Seth Michael Barnes was a firework in the night sky—vivid, unforgettable, and far too fleeting. His laughter was a melody that could lift the heaviest hearts, his energy a force that pulled others into the orbit of his joy. Seth had a way of making life brighter, whether he was playing sports with unrelenting determination, goofing off with his friends, or pestering his sisters with the kind of playful mischief only a brother could perfect.

To his mother, Katy, Seth was everything. He wasn’t just her son—he was her laughter, her pride, and the center of her world. “He deserved so much more than what he was given,” she says, her words a reflection of the deep love and fierce protection that only a mother can know. She cherishes every moment, every hug, every shared laugh—each one now a precious fragment of a life filled with love.

Seth’s spirit was like the rush of wind before a storm—bold, full of life, and impossible to ignore. He didn’t just live; he embraced the world with both arms wide open. He loved deeply, played fiercely, and brought light wherever he went. He was a brother, a friend, a teammate, and a son whose love for life left an imprint on every soul he touched.

Forever his Momma,” Katy holds close to the memory of her boy who gave so much of himself to the world. The love between them transcends the boundaries of this life, a bond unbroken by time or loss.

Though Seth’s journey here ended too soon, his light still dances in the memories of those who loved him. It’s in the laughter he sparked, the joy he brought, and the love he shared.

Rest peacefully, Seth. Your light was brilliant, and your love eternal. You are deeply missed, forever cherished, and endlessly loved.
