Edward Wayne Seymour, Sr.

Edward Wayne Seymour Sr - Died at his home in Nederland early Tuesday morning, March 14- with his wife and children by his side. Edward was born September 11, 1949 - he was 73 - he embraced everyday with great anticipation for what the day would bring.

Edward was an enthusiastic athlete - working out at the Gym - and playing pick up games of basketball at Nederland Rec. Center. He closed his office every day at 3:00 to pick his children from school -and the rest of the day was spent - teaching, coaching and enjoying baseball, football, basketball, and softball with his four children - actually it was play - which is what he lived for.

He was a loving husband to his wife Susan (married over 53 years) - most of all he was Our GOAT - Greatest Of All Time - father to sons Ed Jr., Joshua, Jeremy and daughter Sadie - best of all - and the most important thing to know - his life was one of kindness given to all who passed his way. When you leave this life - the one most important thing to leave is your legacy - the character and kindheartedness - that he accomplished in his life is deeply-rooted in the character of his children, grandchildren and great grandson - as with every parent, you want your legacy to continue on, as it will with his family - with the strength of his legacy his children will now lead their Grandchildren and great grandchildren forward with much eagerness - as we continue - knowing that we had a loving gift from God - How blessed and thankful for all that has been given to us.
