Alexis & Ellis Hanton

Seth Douglas Hanton, 29, a young man of great passion, died unexpectedly on Friday, May 27, 2022. Seth was born May 13, 1993, in Lansing, the son of Dean Jeffrey and Terri Lynn-Marsh Hanton.

While attending Olivet College, Seth met the love of his life, Alexis Rae Nichols. They were best friends, and they were head over heels for each other. Alexis just loved how kind he was and how he could light up any room he walked into. They got married on May 27, 2017, and took on the world.

Seth and Alexis recently welcomed their first child, Ellis Leigh Hanton. Ellis is Seth’s mini-me. They share the same beautiful brown eyes and adorable smile. Seth would makeup songs and just sing, sing, sing to his precious Ellis. Ellis would look up at his daddy in admiration while he would sing to him. He would tickle Ellis and make that baby laugh. Alexis would pop her head into Ellis’s room and watch the two of them rock and snuggle in his rocking chair. Seth and Alexis really enjoyed going on walks while pulling Ellis in his wagon.

Above all, Seth was the best person and lit up every room he walked into. He was passionate about everything he came across. He will be remembered for his kind nature, sense of humor, deep emotional intellect, and the love he had for his family.

Seth's recent passing has left a beautiful family to face the unimaginable, and they need our help. It’s our turn to support the man who has always been there for us, and the family he holds so dearly.
