This is a shame. I will be going back to Newton to help show my support for the team this weekend. It seems like Seth had a lot in front of him and it is never good for some one to go this young.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Seth Klein family. Seth was a great kid, excellent student, kind and generous soul, good friend, great teacher/wrestler. Thank you Seth for all that you did for the NHS wrestling team and my son, Never Forgotten and Gone Too Soon. Please, keep the Newton High School wrestling team and their coaches in your thoughts and prayers, as well. Thank You.

Brett LaMar told me he will pray him in our Wrestlers for Christ Prayer at our regionals. May God Bless Seth and all those close to him!

that would be a very kind thing to do.. we greatly appreciate it.
