Seth was born and raised in Omaha Nebraska below is an excerpt from from his funeral which Had statements or attendance by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Donna Brazil.
Notice the quote in the excerpt regarding his Facebook page.
The excerpt is from the Jewish press of Omaha:
Two years later, he went to the Democratic National Committee, where he worked on the development of a computer program that allows people to enter their names and have maps drawn to their polling places. It required data culled from every voter precinct in the country. Seth worked to boost turnout by connecting voters with resources like polling place locations.
The Democratic National Committee chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.), said in a statement, “Our hearts are broken with the loss of one of our DNC family members over the weekend. Seth Rich was a dedicated, selfless public servant who worked tirelessly to protect the most sacred right we share as Americans – the right to vote,” she said. “He saw the great potential of our nation and believed that, together, we can make six the world a better place.”
Seth may have loved to chat and make the rounds of a room, but more than anything he wanted to make the world a better place. As recent as this week Seth posted on Facebook:
‘I reiterate back to people stop hating each other. Too much pain to process.’
‘We have to be better and defend each other more true.
‘A life is exponentially valuable. I have family and friends on both sides of the law. ‘Please, stop killing each other.’
Too often we see bloodshed and we avert our eyes because its someone else’s neighborhood and someone else’s kid. Not today… today the anguish and pain that we so often see on the news is now in our own hearts. Seth did what he loved, he wanted to make a difference in the world around him and we owe it to his memory to finish the work Seth started.
“Remember his name,” said Donna Brazile, “and add him to the rolls of justice.” Seth Conrad Rich. He lived to make a difference.
