Bro. Eugene Seymore, son of the late Lawrence Sr. and Mable Calloway Seymore was born in New Orleans, LA on March 11, 1944. He was baptized at an early age by the late Rev. T. J. Ellis at the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church. Faithfully, Bro. Seymore had served as a Christian member and usher until his physical illness.
He was educated in the Terrebonne Parish School System. As an adult, Eugene was employed by Avondale Shipyard for over 30 years. Later, he and the late Antoinette Garner were united in Holy Matrimony.
He leaves, to cherish his memories: one son, Christopher Seymore; two sisters, Geraldine Patterson and Elaine (Leon)Vavasseur of Gibson, La; one bonus brother, Kenneth (Chief) Lacobon of Houma, La; a number god children; one godchild/caregiver, Beverly J. Ortiz, and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
He was preceded in death, by his parents, Lawrence and Mable Seymore; five brothers, Milton, Shelton, Curtiss, Lawrence Jr. and Michael Seymore; two sisters, Dorothy Nash and Joyce Rollins.
Naturally, our hearts are filled with sorrow and the tears will flow when our loved ones are taken from us but we should still our grief long enough to think what this home going means to him. Toils and burden-bearing are exchanged for the repose of heaven. Instead of being cast down by sadness, we should rejoice and thank God for a life which leaves behind it's radiance of purity, goodness and peace.
