Seb was a core part of our post-grad Philly friend circle, and a staple at my monthly game nights / watch parties. Seb unfailingly walked in with a huge smile, greeting everyone with a hug. More often than not, he brought along a new friend or two. I always thought it was remarkable how many friends Seb had in the city. That wasn’t ever surprising though, given how he genuinely wanted to understand people, beyond the small talk. 

We will miss you, my friend. May your soul rest in peace. 

I met Seb through Ilia his "russian brother" as Seb would say. I honestly really didn't expect Seb to become one of my closest friends in Philly at all as on paper we are so different in everyway. However, Seb just understood and believed in me when no one else did and went out of his way to solve my issues that didnt affect him one bit. 

He was definitely the light to the end of my tunnel, the reason I am in Lauder /Wharton, one of the reason I'm in Philly and definitely one of the reason why I have so many friends in Wharton/ Lauder/ US.  Its crazy when i go to wg22/23/24 parties and I just say that I'm seb's friend and how included I am. I hope one day i have that affect on people's lives like you do. 

Seb was a great connector and understood different types of people. I stayed with him for 2 weeks when I first came to Philly in May earlier this year.  He made me feel welcome in Philly as well as Wharton / Lauder. 

Life has not been same without you in Philly since you left. Not a day or moment has passed that I haven't thought about you and how I should have hung out with you more as you are only 9 mins walk from me. I wouldn't be here in Philly, Wharton or lauder without you Seb. I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me and so much that i wish i could say thank you again one more time. 

I hope you realise how much impact you have made on different people's life and thank you again for changing my life. 

We were very saddened to hear the news of Sebs passing. Roz is a very close friend of mine and my husband helped to get him a job here in the Cayman Islands. I was very lucky to get to know my friends lil bro. Seb was always kind and quite funny. My favorite story was when I was having a quite drink and catch up with a friend at a local pub and Seb and a friend who I didn't know walked in. His friend had a few more drinks in him and thought he'd hit on us married mums. Seb saw what was happening and told his mate "bro, that's my sister's friend!" and was able to usher him away. Seb gave me a cheeky smile as he walked his friend away from us. 

Seb will be missed and remembered world wide. Our hearts are with his family and friends.
