Howell Grady Seagraves, Jr.

Howell Grady Seagraves, Jr., 62, of Danielsville, passed away on Friday, March 11, 2022.

A lifelong resident of Madison County, Howell was born to Howell Grady Seagraves, Sr. and Virginia Stamey Seagraves. He attended Madison County High School, where he played football and baseball. Later in life he played softball and coached his son in Little League (and all his children through life in general). Howell was a born entrepreneur who started and ran two businesses farming chickens; he later ran Blazer’s Hot Wings in Hull for many years, saying he had gone from growing chickens to cooking them. He retired from Johnson & Johnson as a shift supervisor.

Howell was a born-again Christian who walked faithfully with the Lord all his life. He contributed to many faith-based organizations and was always proud to invest in his community. He excelled at everything he put his hand to and had an especial knack for making people laugh, sometimes unintentionally. He was a supportive and faithful son, brother, husband, father, PopPop, and friend to all.

Along with his father, Howell was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Terri Hardeman Seagraves.

Howell is survived by his mother, Virginia Anthony, and his other mother, Jean Madden (Bill); his children: Alicia May, Mallory Seagraves (Grey Shiver), Blaine Seagraves (Jenna) and Matt Kennison (Amber); brother Terry Seagraves (Vicki), sister Penny Kerns (Shane), and sister-in-law Paula Drake (Curtis); grandchildren: Leena May, Millie May, Roman Seagraves, Georgia Claire Seagraves, Izzy Kennison, Abigail Kennison, Mattilyn Kennison, and Chad Lynn; and many other loving relatives.
