John D. Seay

John D. Seay, 64, Moulton, passed away Aug. 21 at his residence, Sweetbottom Cove.

John was an honest man. He was honest in love, honest in friendship and honest in business. He was an artist. His life was filled with color. He was both gracious and giving while being neither thrifty nor timely. His love of art and architecture, animals and nature was second only to his family and his God. His love for his wife of greater than 40 years Melba and his children Patrick and Sarah was beyond limits. He lived beyond reproach.

He was a graduate of the University of North Alabama and a member of Moulton Baptist Church. He retired from Wal-Mart management and was a lifelong Republican.

Funeral service will be Aug. 24 at 11 a.m. at Macedonia Baptist Church, Waco community with Claude Posey officiating. Burial will be in Moulton Memorial Cemetery.
