A British soldier who died in southern Afghanistan has been named as Corporal Seth Stephens of the Royal Marines. He was killed on Thursday July 1, 2010. He was believed to have been a member of the Special Boat Service - the naval equivalent of the SAS.
A spokesperson for the Royal Marines said: "Cpl Seth Stephens was a truly popular man. He was blessed with the innate ability to brighten the darkest room; he also possessed a disarming sense of humour. "Above all else Seth was a doting husband and father. His absolute dedication and unfailing love for his family, was abundantly clear for everybody to see. He could always be relied upon to be there for his family and friends, whose needs he always placed before his own." Dr Liam Fox, Secretary of State for Defence, said: "It is clear that Cpl Seth Stephens was a consummate professional whose positive energy and sense of fun made him a popular and highly respected marine. "From tributes I have read Cpl Stephens was a loving family man who always put others before himself leading to the ultimate sacrifice for his country. I extend my deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues."
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Seth Stephens is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen
