Mr. Robert Lee Seymore, 68, of Biloxi, Mississippi departed this life, Wednesday, June 5, 2019. Mr. Seymore was the youngest child born to Mr. Hillary Hill and Ms. Ruby Seymore. After grade school, he worked as a service station attendant and a bridge construction worker for the state of Louisiana. Shortly after, Mr. Seymore was drafted in the United States Army to serve in the Vietnam War (April 12, 1970 – December 10, 1971).

After his tour to Vietnam, Mr. Seymore continued his service to his country by enlisting in the United States Army Reserve, serving from December 10, 1971 to April 12, 1976.
Understanding the importance of education, Mr. Seymore elected to further his education by completing and passing the General Education Development Test. He was then conferred a General Education Diploma (GED). After his service to his country and fulling his educational goals, Mr. Seymore returned home, Hammond, Louisianan, where he pursued employment as a civilian. This transition did not prove to be an easy, but being the tenacious man he was, Mr. Seymore took it in stride and made the best out of life that he could.
In 2013, Mr. Seymore relocated from Ponchatoula, Louisiana to Biloxi, Mississippi where he began to rehabilitate and make a fresh start here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

It was through this relationship, Mr. Seymore, a former member of True Love Baptist Church, united in Christian fellowship with First Missionary Baptist Church, Hansboro. He was an active and faithful member. Mr. Seymore was committed to his Sheepfold Family and loved his church dearly.
He is remembered by his friends and loved ones as being a humble man. His loving and caring personality made it so easy to develop a friendship with. He enjoyed life and lived each day to the fullest. Mr. Seymore knew what it meant to live in the moment and he did so each day.
He is proceeded in death by both parents, Mr. Hillary Hill and Ms. Ruby Seymore; and one brother, Charles Seymore.
