Jerry Kenneth Seton, Jr. (Ken) passed away Monday February 10th after a lengthy illness at the age of 85. He was born November 25, 1939 to Jerry and Rose Seton in Jacksonville, Florida. They moved to Birmingham when he was just two years old, with him staying and becoming a lifelong resident of Mountain Brook. Ken was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.

Ken graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in Business. He subsequently served his country as a Captain in the United States Army. Following his service, he pursued a career as a financial advisor with Sterne, Agee and Leach, then Stifel Financial. For over 50 years he faithfully served his clients.

Ken was preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Sandy, and his sister Nancy. He is survived by his sons Jeff (Melissa) of Birmingham and Glenn (Joey) of Atlanta, GA along with his 6 grandchildren: Bradley, Alex, Madeline, Matthew, Hugh, and Abby.
