Brian D’Wayne Seals

Brian D’Wayne Seals passed away Sunday, July 31, 2022 at the age of 51 after a heroic battle with cancer.  

He was born Sept. 25, 1970 in Victoria to Greg and Sandra Lorfing Seals.  

Brian attended elementary and middle school in Victoria before transferring to Austin to attend the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired where he graduated. 

While in Austin, Brian participated in wrestling and made many lifelong friends.  It was there he developed his fearless love for traveling independently throughout the United States; always making sure to visit friends and family on his adventures.

In Brian’s youth he was a die-hard Houston Oilers football fan. He was very close to his family and enjoyed spending time with them in their homes or in the country whether it be fishing, camping, or playing sports. (He even played Beep Baseball, a softball game for blind or visually impaired).

Brian was always helping his visually impaired friends and thought of them as family.  He was never without a smile and was always making others laugh.  His love for gaming continued into adulthood, playing with brothers, uncles, cousins, and nephews.

Brian was preceded in death by his dad, Greg Seals; his brother, John Seals; his grandparents,  Alfred and Eunice Lorfing, and Wade and Margaret Seals.

Brian is survived by his wife; three sons, Brian J., Jamyia W., and Olajuwon R. Seals; his mother, Sandra; two brothers, Michael (Camille) and Jason (Ashley) Seals, along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Burial will follow in the Shiloh Cemetery.
