Stephen Michael Seegars
ORANGEBURG – Graveside services for Mr. Stephen Michael Seegars, 30, of 338 Huson Circle, will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020, in Belleville Memorial Gardens, Orangeburg, with the Rev. Nathaniel Bonaparte and the Rev. Todd Brown officiating.
God, in his infinite wisdom, called Stephen Michael Seegars home to an eternal rest on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020.
Stephen -- "Steve", "Sunshine" as he was affectionately called -- was the son of Joyce (Stanley) Timmons and Michael (Charlene) Seegars. He was born June 20, 1990, in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Stephen was a 2008 graduate of Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School. He furthered his education at Francis Marion University. He was a member of New Mount Zion Baptist Church. Stephen's creative spirit and love for music led him to become CEO of his record label and clothing company, "Chill Cortez."
Stephen was truly a people person. He had a generous and fun-loving personality and a love beyond measure for his family and friends. He enjoyed traveling, entertaining crowds with his music, but especially spending quality time with his family whom he loved dearly. Stephen would always tell you he loved you and be safe before departure. He was a hardworking young man who tried to be a role model and shoulder of support for his siblings and younger cousins. His laughter and beautiful smile could light up a room. Stephen's charm and personality would capture your heart, and his sweet and caring spirit set him apart.
Stephen was preceded in death by his grandfather, Willie Johnson Jr., and great-grandparents, Lonnie Henderson and Helen L. Henderson.
Stephen leaves to cherish his loving memory parents Joyce (Stanley) and Michael (Charlene); siblings, Christopher P. Seegars, Brandon D. Johnson, Charice (Lorenzo) Lynch, Jordan T. Seegars and Dorian T. Seegars; grandparents, Patricia B. Johnson, Hayward (Roberta) Seegars, Dorothy H. Seegars and Charles Brown; great-grandparent Geneva Poe; uncles, Willie Johnson III, Darrin T. Johnson, Jeffrey D. (Adriane) Johnson, Anthony M. (Stacie) Seegars, Sterling U.H. Seegars, Albert J. Davis, Bernard Glover, Robert Fleming, Charles Brown Jr. and Shelton Brown; aunts, Regina Johnson, Judith (Ronald) Geohaghan, Shona Seegars, Angel (Stacy) Mouzon and Roseanna Calloway; two nephews, Loren and Tatum Lynch; special friend Jalissa Porchea; and a host of other loving relatives, friends and "Big Fyne" fans.
Viewing for the public will be held on Tuesday from noon to 7 p.m. at the funeral home.

You crossed my mind, so naturally my heart sank when I saw the article. I haven't been back home in 5 years, so I didn't know about what happened. If I would have known, I would have dropped everything to be there. I don't have the words to express my grief. My condolences and prayers goes out to your family. You will definitely be missed.

I want to thank the family for sharing Stephen with us. Stephen was a shining star whose light was diminished to soon. He was talented, his music and rap persona "Chill Cortez" uplifted the plus-size women community. His positive images of us allowed him to perform on many stages throughout the South East in several states. From PlusPosiCon-Atlanta to CurvyChella-Florida. He was an originator and trendsetter. I had the pleasure of collaborating with him for several of my fashion events. He was my friend and brother. I will continue to keep his music and spirit alive by using his music in my events. May God grant his family's hearts and minds peace.
