Seth Winson Hamilton

It was a joyful day when Seth Winson Hamilton entered the world on March 28th, 1985 in Lubbock, Texas. His parents, Gary Hamilton and Jessica Brock Hamilton, were elated with their beautiful, smiling, blue-eyed baby boy. From the outset, Seth had an adventurous spirit and started exploring his little world on foot by the time he was six months old! As he grew, he thrived on spending time in the great outdoors along with his cousins - a band of brothers who were his dearest friends, too, and, together, they especially enjoyed camping, fishing, boating, and floating the river outside of Broken Bow, Oklahoma About the time Seth was beginning to teach himself to swim and jump off the high dive (hence, his nickname "Fish"), his mom remarried in 1989 to Frank Castro, who would become his Daddy, mentor, and friend. Soon after Frank came into their lives, Seth was also blessed to gain a brother... but not in the usual way. Two doors down, Isaac Ramirez moved in when he was 6 and Seth was 5. The boys bonded instantly, became the best of friends, and from that time on were raised together... as brothers. Seth was the light of Jessica's life, and she devoted herself to his happiness and well-being. As a result, he developed into a good, sweet, fun-loving young man with a heart of gold and a spirit to match. Likewise, family meant everything to Seth. In addition to his Mom and Frank, he relished time spent with his kin - particularly all his cousins - and he set an excellent example for them to follow. . Seth loved the Lord and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior alongside Frank as they were baptized together, which not only renewed their collective spirits but also helped the entire household to re-dedicate their lives and focus on God and His Word. A lifelong resident of Lubbock, Seth was an academically gifted, brilliant student who attended Lubbock High School - where he graduated with Honors. While in school, he played trumpet in the band, enjoyed creating beautiful pieces for his favorite class - art, wrestled and played football for the Lubbock Westerners all while maintaining good grades in his Advanced Placement classes and having been nominated for the Tech Leadership Committee! After graduation, he attended Texas Tech University where he studied Mechanical Engineering. Like lots of young folks, he spent a little time trying out different vocations to see what the world held in store that appealed to him... and found himself working alongside Frank in the woodshop where he became a valuable asset and partner in the newly formed Tejas Millworks, and there he spent the next ten years honing his woodworking skills, It was at this point that Seth's servant's heart directed him to a new path: helping the elderly and infirm through the City of Lubbock's Community Development Department. It was in this capacity as Construction Inspection Specialist that this kind, gentle, and compassionate man used these loving talents to tenderly assist folks in need... and that is exactly what he was doing up to the time of his unexpected passing. On Saturday, January 21st, 2023, our lives were forever changed by the sudden loss of Seth. He was only 37. This precious, loving and generous man was surrounded by his family as his soul quietly departed this world and in the twinkling of an eye was brought into the presence and glory of the Lord. For that, we can't begrudge his leaving... though, the cavernous holes in our hearts will ache evermore as we will miss him terribly. Seth was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lee and Betty Brock, and Freddie and Noel Hamilton. He is survived by his parents, Jessica and Frank Castro of Lubbock; father, Gary Hamilton of Broken Bow, OK; grandmother, Syble Brashear of Lubbock; grandfather, Lucio Castro of Lubbock; brother Isaac Ramirez and wife, Rachel and baby Zeke of Broken Bow; sister, Nicole and Tobiah Henneke of the Austin area; uncles and aunts: Brett and Toni Brock of Los Angeles; Ty and Carol Brock of Lubbock; Noble and Vicki Hamilton of Broken Bow; Mark and Jeanette Hamilton of Lubbock; and Keith Hamilton of Broken Bow. Seth also leaves behind a host of cousins, great-aunts and uncles, and friends.
