As I sit here and reflect on the years that I've known Seth, nothing but positive memories come flooding back. I had the pleasure of knowing Seth since elementary school. Our years at Eleanor and growing up with the tight group of kids that we had, just makes me smile. Throughout high school and the years later, we may not have been the closest, but running into you at Arosso's again was so nice. When I think of you, I think of your bright smile and warm heart. I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. You were taken from us at such a young age, but the lessons and the memories that you've left upon us here will never be forgotten. I know you're at peace and I pray your family finds comfort and closure in that soon. Until we meet again..

Seth,   You were a one of a kind guy. My most fondest memory and also funniest was when you came up to Kutztown to visit me during my freshman year. We were driving and your Saturn slid off the road into that corn field. Myself, jay, Jeremy and you had to get out and push the car through a foot of snow back on to the road. I have many other memories but this one I will never forget. I hope you are at peace. You truly left is entirely too early on in your young life.  I will continue to say a prayer for you and your family. Hold me a place up there until we meet again - Joseph Bergen.

So many things I could say about Seth but I will try to keep it short. I have known Seth since preschool when we would play at Billy Kelly's house. We were always friends and some years closer than others. He was so genuine, happy, willing to give the shirt off his back, great host, and insistent on making sure everyone had a great time. He is one of the only people from high school to visit me in college at Clemson. I still struggle with the fact that he is gone. He was a great person and I often felt guilty for not being as good of a friend to him as he was to me. I am blessed to have had him in my life.

Seth was a great friend and one of the most kindhearted people I know. He and his father were there for me whenever I needed anything. He was a great person with a great family and lots of friends that loved him dearly. I will deeply miss Seth and will always remember the impact he had on my life as a friend. I'm going to miss you bro. I wish your family all the best.Cheers.

Seth I only met you once a year ago and on line 2 yrs ago got to know you to be a kind and loving person to your family and all about you .you will be loved in heaven above and look after your father and loved ones with you

Seth Mannella was the greatest friend I ever had in my whole entire life. I used to go over to his house all the time and spend time with him and his dad. They were like a second family to me. Seth and his dad would cook me some of my favorite meals, we would watch football and have a great time. Losing his dad was really tough for me, now losing Seth is so tragic and devastating. Both of them meant the whole entire world to me. Seth was always there when I needed him. He would always make me smile and always gave me the best advice. He was always encouraging and uplifting. He taught me a lot in life. He showed me what a real friend was all about. He moved to PA, and he begged me to come see him, unfortunately, I was unable to make the drive. I regret that, I wish I had one more chance to see him. I will miss him very much. What is comforting is knowing he is not suffering anymore, he is now with his dad. I have two angels in heaven now. I will always remember him and all the good times we shared. He will always be my best friend. I miss you Seth! For Seths family, I will continue to pray for you everyday. I pray for your comfort and strength. If you ever need anything I am here for you.Love you Scruffy-Vanessa

So sorry for your loss, I knew he was a riot when he came to visit my family in 2007. We had a blast and he sure helped make me laugh on a few occasions. My prayers are with you doing this time.

Seth, You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I will never forget the things you did for my family and I. I will never forget your sense of humor, your smile, or your big heart. Im glad i had the chance to make so many memories with you. Watch over your sisters and your mom they need your help to stay strong. I hope you are at peace now. Love you and Fly high with the angels seth. Love, miss blue eyes.

Seth you were an amazing person and great dancer. You could always make me smile and made thanksgivings fun. I love you and will never forget the memories we've shared. Cousin Sydney

Dear Manella family,I keep you all in a very special place in my heart. My memories of Seth will never fade as he was always a source of inspiration. His heart and personality always opened doors to some of my most treasured memories. When I pass pen  fair I will remember him, when I listen to any type of fun music I will think of Seth as a dj At hot hot hot. It's hard for me to imagine meeting someone that could light up a room like he could but if I do I'll think of Seth, when I think of the best things from my adolescence I will remember Seth and our trips to the mountains, when I find a single shining star in the night sky ill remember Seth and how he shined his love onto the family he cared so much for, when the sun shines down on a spring day I'll remember our strolls at Tyler park and our attempts at disc golf immortality.   Most of all when I find my self down or times of trouble I'll remember the importance, fragility, and power of the human spirit and the love that can come from a truly caring soul !! I love you all and will miss Seth more than any words can explain

Thank you for showing Mercedes, mom, June and I what genuine of a person you were. Summer of 2009 wouldn't have been the same without you. Love and light to all, fly high dear.

Dear Mannella Family,My heart goes out to you all as I offer my sincerest condolences to your entire family, especially Beth, Sarah, and Debra. I grew up with Beth during elementary, middle, and high school and became extremely close to your family, Seth included. My heart aches as I type this message. Your family was so good to me during my adolescent years and although we may not have remained extremely close as years passed, you have all played a big role in my upbringing and who I am today. Seth was a great son, brother, uncle, friend and person overall. I am so very sorry that he has been taken away from you much too soon. I pray that he is happy in heaven and looking over you all along with Lenny, who was also always good to me. I pray that you are all able to remain strong and positive during this time of grief knowing that there are many people  out there who care for you and Seth and whose hearts are also hurting no matter the distance between you. I am always here and will always remember Seth for the amazing person that he was to both you and the world around him. Once again, my sincerest condolences. Love & Peace to everyone of you. <3

Sending my deepest condolences to the Mannella family.  Seth was a great friend of mine growing up and always made sure that had put the best interests of his friends before his.  He had a heart of gold and was loved by all at Pennsbury.  My fondest memories of Seth include getting in trouble at Hebrew School and driving around Yardley in the Saturn/Xterra.  Rest in Piece old friend.

Sincere condolences to Seth's family from all of us in NY. We have fond memories of the 2007 visit with us.

Seth,May you bless your family with feathers and butterflies to let them know your soul is with them always and that you are at peace.

Seth,You will truly be missed. Thank you for saving me when I was getting chased on my bike at Eleanor Roosevelt. Also, thanks for all the times you let Becky, Sarah, Beth and me play James Bond 007 when you probably didn't want to let us at all. Rest in Peace

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I remember having a blast with Lenny, Seth and Sarah when they came to NY to visit.  He was so full of life.  Rest knowing he is with his father now.

Seth,      I love and miss you dearly. Give Dad a great big hug from me and the kids. Rest easy, big bro. Best friends forever. Until we meet again.

Rest easy brother! Great guy with a big heart.

My thoughts & prayers are with the Mannella family. Seth was an amazing person with such a loving & caring soul. He genuinely would do anything & everything to help anyone. He was so talented in his many hobbies, especially drawling. He was a true artist at heart with an fantastic creative mind that could drawl anything. He will be so missed by not only his family but his many many friends. We can all learn something from Seth, love everyone, forgive easily & help someone when in need. I hope the Mannella family will take comfort in knowing how loved & missed he is by his friends and we will all continue to keep his spirit alive with the many stories and memories that we all have with Seth. He was truly one of a kind & very loved by all who knew him.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.- The Staff of James J. Dougherty Funeral Home
