Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.)                 A senate RESOLUTION   TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE PASSING OF EUGENE SEAWRIGHT, A NATIVE OF SWANSEA, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
  Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Swansea native Eugene Seawright on November 20, 2025, at the venerable age of nearly seventy-three;
and   Whereas, born December 9, 1952, Eugene Seawright came into this world the son of Joe Nathan Seawright and Mary Butler Seawright of Swansea;
and   Whereas, at an early age, this man of faith found his spiritual home at Swansea's Prodigal AME Church.
He joined this fellowship of believers and served the Lord there as a committed member;
and   Whereas, Eugene attended the Lexington County public schools and graduated from Swansea High School with the Class of 1970.
During his high school years, he played basketball and participated in other activities.
In pursuit of further education, the young Eugene attended Midlands Technical College, where he received an associate degree in automotive paint and body repair.
He also pursued a degree in business administration at Rutledge College;
and   Whereas, in God's good time, Eugene met and married the lovely Margaret Seawright, God blessing the pair with four children, Cohran, Marcia, Marcus, and Antjuan;
and   Whereas, moreover, Eugene Seawright served in the United States Army, after which he took up new duties at Fort Jackson.
He retired from his civil service career at Ft.
Jackson after thirty-three years.
During retirement, he became the owner of We Kleen Cleaning Service;
and   Whereas, known for his big smile, Eugene enjoyed spending time with family and friends and working around the house;
and   Whereas, preceded in death by a granddaughter, Kaiyah T'selani Tyanna Horton-Seawright, he leaves to cherish his memory his dear wife, Margaret Seawright;
his children, Cohran Tiwan Seawright, Marcia Monique Seawright, Marcus Eugene Seawright, and Antjuan Orlando Seawright;
his grandchildren, Nicholas Harrell, Lauryn Pearl Seawright, and Milana Seawright;
his brother, Harry Lee (Sherita) Seawright;
his sister-in-law, Dorothy Mae Shivers;
and a host of other family members and friends.
Eugene's legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, and he will be greatly missed.
Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate:
  That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Eugene Seawright, a native of Swansea, and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family.
