Happy Birthday, little brother! This is the seventh year we’ve had to celebrate your birthday without you here with us. It seems like each year that passes, you feel farther away, but the gaping hole of your absence always feels so fresh. Luckily, your best friends make the long trek to come visit and spend time helping us celebrate you each year. You know you’ve got some amazing friends when they are still showing up for you even after you’ve left this world. We are all so blessed by their presence in our lives. You surrounded yourself with the most incredible circle of friends, which is a testament to your incredible heart and judgement of character. Yesterday, we visited your gravesite and sang you “Happy Birthday” while the biting winter wind of Southwest Minnesota swirled around us, nipping at our cheeks. After our visit, we took our celebration to your favorite local restaurant, The Pub. This has become the tradition, as you were always eager for a panino when you would come to town. Finally, we headed to our house to spend time playing video games, enjoying dessert (cheesecake for you!), opening gifts, and visiting. We hope you would have enjoyed the festivities and that you were along for the ride in spirit. Some say that these milestones get easier with time, but there is no amount of time that will make not having you here to celebrate with us any easier. I wouldn’t have it any other way, though, because it is another reminder of just how loved you are and what a tremendous impact you’ve had in the lives of all who knew and love you. Wishing you the most amazing birthday heaven-side, brother. We will love and miss you forever. 💗 Love, Nikki
Let the memory of Seth be with us forever.
Seth was born on December 22, 1988 in Minneapolis to Kim and Patricia (Eischens) Kallevig. He graduated from Woodbury High School in 2007. He continued his education at St. Cloud State University, where he graduated in 2012 with a degree in rhetorical and applied writing. Most recently, he was a dedicated employee at BestMark in Minnetonka, MN. Seth was an avid sports fan. He played baseball from t-ball through high school and formed many lasting friendships as a result. He also enjoyed spending time hunting and fishing. He was passionate about Minnesota sports teams, especially the Minnesota Twins, and loved viewing and attending many sporting events. Known as Phonix, he was a talented songwriter and performer with a library including more than 200 original tracks. He drew musical inspiration from artists such as Tupac Shakur and Lil Wayne. His family and friends were incredibly important to him, and he was especially proud to be an uncle to his goddaughter, Josephine. Seth is survived by his parents, Kim and Patricia Kallevig, of Newport; his sister, Nicole (Matt) Fischer of Marshall; his brother Sean (Kayla) Kallevig of Edgerton; niece/goddaughter, Josephine Fischer, and nephew, Brom Fischer.

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong it earned 2 walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams it learned 2 breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared! - Tupac Shakur Ever the dreamer, Seth will be greatly missed by all.
