Michael Seay Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 26, 2025.
Michael Newton Seay, 72, passed away in the early hours of the morning on June 19, 2025, in Arlington, Texas. Born on April 6, 1953, in Dallas, Texas, he lived a life marked by deep loyalty and quiet strength.

Michael was known for his unwavering devotion to those he cared about. Fiercely loyal to his family and friends, he offered support without question or judgment, always ready to help in any way he could. His presence was a steady source of comfort and reliability to those fortunate enough to know him.

In his younger years, Michael had a passion for adventure. He found joy in scuba diving and exploring the world through the lens of chemistry-interests that reflected both his curiosity and his appreciation for the wonders of nature and science. Later in life, after he met Karen, he developed a love for baseball, embracing it as another way to connect with those around him.

Michael is survived by his wife of 17 years, Karen Seay; his daughter Courtney Peebles and her spouse, Alex Peebles, along with their sons Patrick (7) and Harrison (4); his son Michael Seay and son Braxton (7); and his stepdaughter Renee Diggs and her spouse Brad Diggs with their children Peter (26) (and spouse Krystal), Cayce (24), Ben (22), Nate (20), and Noah (18). He is also survived by his older sister Jody Seay (and spouse Stephanie) and younger sister Peggy Seay; Peggy's children Johnny Seay and Kelli Seay (and spouse Caleb Young); and brother-in-law, Ruben Gonzales.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Warren and Ila Jo Seay; as well as his older brother Dean and twin brother Pat.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. A Memorial Gathering will be held on July 26, 2025, at 01:00 PM at Midlothian Bible Church 4250 FM 663 Midlothian, TX 76065.

Mike was a wonderful brother-in-law and yes had a very dry sense of humor. He loved answering texts with just one word...acknowledged. He loved wearing his fedora hat everywhere and had quite a few. He was very devoted to his family. Most of all he made my sister happy and respected her. He will definitely be missed.

Mike was such an incredible and caring person. His sense of humor was dry but boy could he make you laugh. What a peace knowing he is swimming laps with Pat and telling stories of days gone by. Mike is loved and will be missed until we see him again. Much love, Janet Wright Beard

My memories of Mike revolve around the Sunset swim team, i was on the Women's team & remember Mike as an amazing swimmer, very competitive ...he also had those "swimmer shoulders", he & Pat loved playing pranks on their teammates. More recently the last few years I have become acquainted with his lovely wife Karen & looked forward to seeing them @ Sunset Alumni monthly gatherings...where his dry & quick wit kept us all laughing. He always shared a tidbit of his life adventures, circling back to his dedication to his family. Our conversations without fail included testimonies to his faith in Chirst as his Savior.....he had no fear or doubts of his eternal life. He will be missed here.

He had a dry and goofy sense of humor. He had a great laugh and a caring heart. Most of all though, he brought my aunt joy. He is missed.

Mike & Pat were my baby brothers. I could write a million memories of them and not even scratch the surface of the goodness of their lives. They were both good men and wonderful brothers and we will all miss them until we see them again. The comfort, for me, lies in knowing that these two great guys have been reunited. Thanks to all who loved Mike, offering prayers and good wishes. It meant a lot to him. JS
