Matthew “Seth” Maness began his earthly journey on October 19th 1982. The impact of his 36 years will never be forgotten. He was a poet, artist, visionary, family man, trusted friend, and sadhu. He was unlike any other. He was mystical and magical and was affectionately known as Third Eye, 535, and The PoetTree. Seth was a man who with a glance could give a beautifully silent speech. Seth lived life with a wide-open heart and was anchored to truth. Our Tribe’s glue, he was a true Peaceful Warrior through and through. In his own words he proclaimed,“I'll share my knowledge with you, if you share your love with me...From the darkness to the light, we shall rise again.” Seth gave so much of himself to the people he loved and to his community; he shared so much more than just his knowledge and asked nothing in return. He lived by example, offering an endless wellspring of love, wisdom, and patient guidance.
Seth had a passion for all genres of music and worked tirelessly to enrich the community through the Mobile music scene and beyond. Seth desired to open minds and unite hearts via music. He exposed the community to countless new bands and emcee's for more than a decade via PoetTree Entertainment. Through his monthly music event, Elements, he resurrected and spearheaded a thriving hip-hop scene, while creating a home for artists to develop and share their own talents and visions.
Seth's own musical endeavors with SubjecTmAtTerS and Digital Organix showed he not only had talent for finding music, but also an incredible talent for creating it. His conscious words and poetic lyrics, along with his energetic performances commanded your attention and helped ignite new creative passion in the Mobile music scene. His talents, coupled with his dedication to the local music scene, made Seth loved and well-respected among the community and entire music industry, both local and beyond.
Seth inspired through integrity, forever with one foot planted firmly on Earth, the other stepping into infinity. On March 25th 2019, Seth was led to step into a new, exciting, and unwritten Journey. Joining him in the Light and forever with him on this new adventure, his mother Betty, his father Ronnie, and many friends who lovingly await his beautiful Soul.
Seth will be missed and loved beyond words by his countless friends, and his loving sister and brother, Amy and Ben. For all of this love, Seth is blessed in many ways, crowned by the most unrivaled and amazing blessing of all, the Love of his Life, Andrea, and their most precious creation of all, Isabella, a beautifully magical collaboration of life and love. He will forever be your Champion and Protector; forever in your Hearts and Souls as you two are in His.
Seth's light shines through all who survive him, because he continues to live through all of us.
Seth, your Love Light will never fade away.
~~Ride on Wings~~
