Seth “Patch” Foster

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Seth Foster, who left this world unexpectedly on November 3rd, 2024. He was born on September 18th in the small town of Smithville, Missouri. Seth lived a vibrant life filled with laughter, love, and hard work.
Throughout his journey, he made a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals.

Seth was the cherished son of the late Scooter Foster and his loving mother, Shell Foster. Although he was preceded in death by his father, Scooter, Seth’s legacy will continue to be honored and remembered by his beloved children, Tucker and Finley Foster. They were his pride and joy; he cherished every moment spent with them! He will also be deeply missed by his devoted mother, Shell Foster, and his loving sister, Linsey Loftin (Shane), Kota and Harleigh Triplett, Alicia Helton, and Jaydon Adkins who shared countless memories with him. As they all navigate this difficult time, they will strive to hold onto the cherished memories they created together. From trips to the pumpkin patches to quiet nights spent working on the farm, each memory will serve as a reminder of the love and happiness they shared.

Seth shared a deep and meaningful connection with his grandparents, Mike and Pat Kelley. Throughout childhood, he cherished countless hours spent on their expansive farm, immersing himself in nature and creating lasting memories. Whether he was turkey hunting in the woods, hunting frogs in the nearby pond, or enjoying leisurely rounds of golf with his grandfather, affectionately known as Hepaw Mike, those moments were filled with joy, love, and laughter. The bond they nurtured shaped Seth’s early years and left a lasting impact on his life. Mike and Pat will miss him dearly, holding onto the precious memories they created together.

Seth had a profound love for the outdoors. He had a deep passion for camping, often escaping to the great outdoors where he could immerse himself in nature. Riding his Side-by-side (SXS) through the winding forest trails brought him immense joy! He was an avid mushroom hunter always sneaking away to “his honey hole”. He also spent countless hours just working on the farm. Sether loved creating unforgettable memories around the campfire (hillbilly tv), sharing stories with his closest friends/family. Seth embraced life with enthusiasm! He was always seeking new adventures and lots of mischief! His vibrant spirit and infectious laughter brought joy to everyone he encountered.

Seth had numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews who adored him. He also fostered strong bonds with those who “weren’t related” by blood but felt like family anyway! Known as “Uncle Patcher,” Seth was the reigning champion of fun, teaching the little ones all kinds of mischief, games, and shenanigans they would remember fondly for years to come.

Seth’s family extended well beyond his immediate relatives; he built a community of friends who became his chosen family. If you were fortunate enough to know Seth, you were welcomed with open arms and treated as part of his close-knit circle. He was well known for his big heart, often greeting friends and strangers alike with a warm smile, a sincere handshake, and a bear hug that could brighten anyone’s day.

Seth attended North Platte High School, where he forged many lifelong friendships that would remain important to him throughout his life. After graduating, he began working at Harcros Chemicals, dedicating himself to his job and building strong relationships with his colleagues. He was the king of mischief there, always pulling pranks on his co-workers and bosses. He always said, “work hard play harder”! The camaraderie they shared at Harcros was truly his favorite part of working there! He poured his heart and soul into his work. He was respected and admired by many for his commitment and work ethic.

As we remember Seth Foster, we celebrate his love, laughter, and of course, all the mischievousness he brought to our lives. Patcher will be deeply missed but will forever remain in our hearts.

In place of flowers, we kindly request that you consider donating to support his children at Connections Bank. An account will be established for them, and your generosity will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your compassion and support.

There will be a combined celebration of life for Seth and Scooter Foster on Sept 7th 2025 at the Dirty Shame Saloon (Platte County Fairgrounds)
