Gordon Seth went home to the Lord on December 17, 2025.

He was born on September 8, 1947, in Butler, Pennsylvania, to Harry and Doris Seth. He graduated from Butler High School in 1965 and proudly enlisted in the United States Army in 1966. During his military service, he served two tours in Vietnam as a pilot, was shot down multiple times, and was awarded the Distinguished Air Medal for his bravery and service to his country.

In 1969, he met the love of his life, Peggy Wagle. They were married on February 14, 1970, beginning a devoted marriage that spanned more than five decades. In 1971, they moved to Colorado, where they built their lives and family, later relocating to Texas in 2019.

He had a deep love for flying, music, nature, animals, and laughter. A skilled organist, he shared his musical gifts generously. Throughout his life, he was known for his generosity, entrepreneurial spirit, and unmistakable sense of humor. He lived with the purpose of making the lives of those around him better, and he did so with kindness and joy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Doris Seth.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Peggy; his daughters, Charlene (Joe) and Marla; his grandsons, Zackeriah, JonPatrick (Kaylene), Austin (Angie), and Logan; his great-granddaughters, EmmaLynn and Almandine; his brothers, Barry, Eric (Nora), and Denny; his sisters, Anita (Joe) and Pamela (Scott); and many cherished nephews, nieces, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, and cousins
