Terrance Patrick Seymour

Terrance Patrick Seymour passed away peacefully on January 5, 2023, in the arms of his family. Terry was born March 2, 1946, in Coffeyville, Kansas, to Paul William and Jeanne Marie Seymour. He graduated from Bishop McGuinness High School in Oklahoma City and joined the United States Coast Guard in 1964, bringing him to Galveston. In 1984, he married the love of his life, Mary Lou. After a 31 year career at Amoco Chemical, he retired in 2000. Never one to sit still, Terry joined SPC, Inc. as a training consultant and retired once again in 2015. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved spending time on the deer lease with good friends. He made a mean Bloody Mary and crafted tasty beer and wine on his hobby label, Hole in the Head Brewery. Terry adored his family. He never met a stranger, and he always had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Not a day passed without him ensuring Mary Lou knew how completely and unconditionally she was loved.

Terry is preceded in death by his mother and father; stepmother, Helen Seymour; many beloved aunts and uncles; brothers-in-law, Jim Messmer and Frank Messmer; and son-in-law, Mike Davis.

Left to treasure his memory are his devoted wife, Mary Lou Seymour; sisters: Michelle (Chris) Spurgeon, Stacey Seymour, Patricia (Gerald) Sanford, and Mary Ann Lawler; brother, Jim (Stephanie) Lawler; children: Kathleen (Bobby) Vasquez, Mark Castles, and Mary Anne Castles (Curtis Knetsch); grandchildren: Chelsea Vasquez (Lauren Smith), Zachary Vasquez, Sean (Trista) Castles, Rylee Holder, Caden Holder, Stephanie (Justin) Clarke, and Melissa Davis; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Visitation will begin on Sunday, January 15, at 4:00 pm with a Rosary at 5:00 pm at Crowder Funeral Home-League City. Funeral services and Mass will be held at St. Mary of the Expectation Catholic Church in League City on Monday, January 16, at 10:00 am. Any memorial contributions can be made to Paralyzed Veterans of America. Donations may also be made to your local animal shelter in memory of Terry’s best friend, Max.

  2. Terry, you will be missed. Always mischievous & loved everyone.
    You always ask about Lauren, your zipper club buddy, Lauren, my granddaughter as she had heart surgery as an infant. Last luncheon with the Amoco Chemical retirees, you were there & we had a good visit & enjoyed seeing you. Mary Lou, may God comfort you & help you get through this season of your life. Terry adored you & when he spoke your name, there was always a smile & twinkle in his eyes. Lot of good memories at Amoco & with the River Trips & Christmas parties. You & your family are in our thoughts & prayers. 🙏🙏❤️ Linda & Charlie Finn

  7. We first met Terry back in March 2015 we moved into the house next door.
    He and his wife Mary Lou welcomed us with open arms as Neighbors.
    Terry, you will truly be missed but never forgotten.
    My son was born in this house and ever since then every time Mr. Terry’s garage was open my son Cash would have to run over and say hi and hug Terry.
    I will miss the conversations that we had on the front lawn I will miss the beers that he used to bring me over freshly brewed I will miss the funny stories he always had to tell.
    We love and miss you
    Sincerely Jay, Robin, Brooklyn & Cash
