Channing Seely Obituary
Channing April Seely, age 19, passed from this life far too soon on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Born November 4, 2005, in North Richland Hills, Texas, to Brian Seely and Melissa (Jones) Seely, she was lovingly known by her middle name, April.
A 2024 graduate of Springtown High School, April was pursuing her education while interning at the Chamber of Commerce in Springtown, Texas. Creative by nature, she found joy in crocheting, reading, playing video games, and making jewelry. She deeply loved her family and especially cherished time spent riding motorcycles with her mom and dad. April also had a special bond with her pets and adored her dog and cats, who brought her constant companionship.
April is survived by her parents, Brian and Melissa Seely of Springtown, Texas; sisters, Cheyanne Seely, Savannah Seely, and Braelynn Venable; brothers-in-law, Jonathan Venable and Jarrod Welch; niece and nephew, Logan Seely and Lucas Seely; and her beloved brother and best friend, Ryan Seely, who lovingly shares that April was everything he could ever wish for in a sister.
April will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her.
