It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye, fly high, and forever happy tails to our friend, volunteer rescue pilot .
In a world often filled with need and struggle, Seuk was a shining light. A man who put others, both humans and animals before himself. He never hesitated to fly down to our little Anson County airport to help save the lives of our deserving dogs or cats. He flew them all over the East Coast, all over New England. Countless dogs and cats for multiple rescues and shelters, and multiple of our own from Anson County, all living better lives, or living at all, because he gave his time, energy and resources to get them out of shelters down south.
We’re convinced that Seuk fell in love with every animal he met. We hear his voice in videos and remember him laughing as he asked our dogs each flight, “do you like kids? Do you like cats?” as he joked about just bringing them home to his family in Virginia instead. Our hearts are heavy for the animals Seuk would have saved, our hearts are heavy for our already exhausted and often saddened animal welfare community, but our hearts are broken for Seuk’s family.
In a world that is often dark with so many turning their backs to those in need, Seuk never looked away. He always jumped into action. The world needed more Seuks, not less. It is a darker world without him in it. But his inspiration to so many is left behind. His effort will continue to be seen by the many that will cuddle their animals each night knowing they are safe and loved in their homes because of Seuk. His legacy will not be forgotten. Lives will continue to be saved with him in mind. We promise you that, Seuk.
To Seuk’s loved ones— we send our heartfelt condolences, our love, and hope for the future. Thank you for sharing your kind father, husband, family member and friend with us. We are here for you from near and far.
To Seuk— We are forever grateful to you. You will be missed from the skies to the small NC counties you flew to so often. We will continue this work with you in spirit. Fly high, and many happy tails greeting you on the other side.
With heavy hearts,
The Anson County Animal Shelter Staff and Volunteers
