Mr. Seay proudly served in the U.S. Army. He and his wife, Deanna, attended Russellville Church of Christ.  He was the Russellville postmaster for 30 years and later ran Town Hill Truck Stop.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to Jose DelaRosa, Cedar Creek Subdivision neighbors, Russellville Church of Christ family and Maria Hernandez for the love and care shown to our dad and mom over the past few years.
