Pastor Tyler Woerner will be the officiant of the service. Visitation will be held on Thursday, March 5, 2026 from 4:00 PM until service time at Trinity Bible Church. A reception will follow the service starting at 7:00 PM. Daniel was born on August 4, 1963 in Springville, New York, and he was a longtime resident of Lafayette. He was a man defined not by the battles he faced, but by the joy with which he lived. A cancer survivor, he carried his testimony with quiet strength and unwavering faith, choosing gratitude over fear and purpose over pain. Surviving cancer did not simply add years to his life, it deepened his love for every moment and every person blessed to know him. Danny was also an accomplished and talented musician. Whether leading the worship team at church or sharing his gift as a proud member of the United States Air Force Band of the West, he used his talent to uplift, inspire, and bring people together. Above all, he found his greatest joy at home. He was a devoted girl dad who used every opportunity to remind his daughters how deeply they were loved. As an uncle, he was the storyteller, the encourager, and the steady presence who showed up with a smile and left everyone laughing. His laughter was contagious, his humor effortless. He had a way of easing heavy hearts, and turning ordinary days into precious memories. He lived fully, loved fiercely, and left behind a legacy of faith, music, resilience, and joy. He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Elizabeth Seymour; his children, Maggie Lee Seymour and Ellie Madolyn Seymour of Lafayette; his siblings, Lynda King and Robert Seymour (Ronda); his sisters-in-law, Rosemary Seymour, Marlo Wright, and Courtney Gray; his brothers-in-law, Brian Wright and Christopher Gray; his mother-in-law, Buddie Lee Gray; his nieces and nephews, Jordan Duvall, Addison Wright, Ella Gray, Avery Wright, Anderson Gray, Robert Seymour II, Sarah Keilman (Mike), Daniel Seymour (Amanda), Phillip Seymour (Allie) and Leonard Ellis; and his great nieces and nephews, Charlotte, Kevin Jr., Jennifer, Jaxon, Jenna, Joey, Johnny, Ivey, Kahli, and Leila He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Madolyn Seymour; as well as Ronald Gray, Frank Jr. Seymour, Kevin Seymour, and his niece, Michelle.
