I just heard the devastating news. My heart is broken. I am so so sad for everyone. I just saw you all and loved how you were telling me all about everyone. Seth was such a great kid and person and how broken of a world for him to not be here anymore. Sending my deepest condolences to you all. May his memory always be a blessing. I will always remember him. I am so devastated for your unimaginable loss.

I’m so saddened upon hearing the news of Seth’s passing. He was such a great fun loving student at Kipling School. I adored Seth and his entire family and please know my thoughts are with all of you! I feel like it was just yesterday that we hugged and giggled throughout the year.

Gone

The sadness our community feels
is just a speck of what
your family feels, on this day of this year
and beyond.
Your absence a hole in their lives
to remain to infinity.
G-d plucked a star from the sky
when you left us,
far too early for reasonable folks to fathom
yet far too late, too; love bonds irretrievably woven!
Your star may be gone but what remains
is the brilliant light you cast to all who loved you.
A light to shine forever
And ever.
And ever.

I offer my deepest condolences to your family. Seth was an amazing friend to me and all. He always had a huge smile across his face. Seth made sure to find a way to check in on each and every one of his friends. He was always calling everyone to see how they were doing or to just catch up. Words can not describe how truly sorry I am for your loss. He will be missed by many.

Seth was the most incredible friend, always willing to lend a hand and constantly motivating everyone around him to be the best versions of themselves. He was so full of life and the happiest person at all times. I’ve never met a more outgoing, social butterfly who also had such a determined mindset to achieve his dreams. My heart goes out to the entire Sugar family, I sent Sari many photos and videos of Seth living his best college life and I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do, reliving the fun memories. Seth once told me we’d be in each other’s lives forever, I will always love Seth and I miss him so much already. Senior year certainly won’t be the same without him but I will be sure to carry on his legacy with me at Michigan and forever❤️

Dear Jodi, Brian, Sari and Jamie
No words can be said at such a loss. When I think of your family, there is a warmth, love, respect and sincerity. The closeness you all have for one another is strong and true.
I live in Arizona now. If not I would be there with you to give a huge hug.
My prayers are with you all.
Peace,
Carrie Kaye Wilen

Seth would always come into work eager to start his day. To say he was friendly and always smiling, while true, just isn’t descriptive enough to capture his essence. Seth had an uncanny way of making everyone around him feel comfortable and unjudged. He worked in the cube next to mine, but we were not in the same department. We were not close, but I know Seth had many circles and truly believe every one of them is devastated by his passing. Praying for strength for Seth’s family.

To the entire Sugar family, I’m so very sorry for your unimaginable loss. Seth did have a heart of gold. He was a great student of mine at Moriah hebrew school and a great bus counselor for my kids. Our hearts ache for you. xo
