I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to the entire Seaton family. I remember Carroll when he began his tour of law enforcement with the ASP. I was a part time dispatcher in Batesville during my time in Batesville and knew him quite well. He was always respected and admired for his professionalism..

Dear Brenda, Wade and Jason,
My heartfelt sympathy. Carroll was an incredible Trooper and a true mentor for me as a new Deputy Sheriff in Independence County. The many things he taught me benefited me throughout my law enforcement career and I will always be grateful for his guidance, wisdom and friendship.
May God Bless You All,

My late husband, JW Wammack, spoke very highly of Trooper Seaton. The two of these great officers worked together in many incidents. I'm sure they have many stories to share in Heaven. Praying for the family.
