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.

----XX----
