Mr. Seymore was born August 30, 1954 in Dallas, Texas to the late Bobbie (Smith) and James R. Seymore, and died Saturday, August 14, 2021 at his residence.

David was an avid hunter and fisherman. His obsession was bow hunting. He enjoyed teaching men, women, and children of all ages how to shoot a bow. In 1989 “David the Bow Man”, as he was known, traveled to Michigan to shoot competitively in the IBO World Archery Bow Shoot placing 3 ^rd . His love of bow hunting landed him a full time job at A-1 Pawn and Gun in Lufkin where he sold thousands of bows and impacted generations of bow hunters.

David was on the Pro Staff for Martin Archery and Easton Arrows. Over the years, David would travel the United States shooting in archery tournaments where he won numerous trophies and medals, including state championships in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and his home state, Texas.

David’s obsession may have been bow hunting, but his passion and love was his children, grandchildren, and family.
