Seth Fairbanks, 29, appeared on the season finale of Yukon Men and was someone the residents of Tanana seemingly liked and felt they could rely on. Seth’s services as a pilot were put to the test as he flew Charlie Wright over the Tanana River to check on the ice conditions. Later, he picked up Joey Zuray, who was stranded in a remote area due to river ice breaking up. The end of the episode featured a photo of the young pilot along with the words, “In Memory of Seth Fairbanks, 1985-2015.” Shocked and surprised, viewers took to various forms of social media as they searched to find out what happened to Fairbanks.
