Seth Aaron Yates, 38, of Dayton, Ohio, a U.S. Air Force veteran of six years, passed away June 13, 2023. Born November 27, 1984, in Joplin, Missouri, to David and Patti Yates. Seth was a beloved son, brother, father and uncle.
His Air Force duties started upon assignment to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, as an AFSC 6F031 conducting financial management activities both at home station and deployed locations.

Once departing the Armed Forces, he continued his passion for financial duties as a specialist working as a private government contractor. He graduated high school at College Heights Christian School, Joplin, Missouri, and Crowder College, Neosho, Missouri.
Seth was a compassionate and kind-hearted person who believed in spreading joy and kindness to everyone he met. His favorite saying was, "It takes zero dollars to be kind," and he lived by those words everyday.
