A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO THE LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND THE MANY FRIENDS OF COLUMBUS JACKSON "JACKIE" SEAWELL III AND TO EXPRESS THEIR PROFOUND SORROW UPON HIS PASSING.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Columbus Jackson "Jackie" Seawell III at the age of seventy-nine on June 14, 2021; and

Whereas, a native of Anderson, he was the son of the late Mary Dunlap Seawell and Columbus Jackson Seawell, Jr., and he graduated from Anderson Boys High School, where he served as the student body president his senior year. He played on the 1959 state high school football championship team and was named the MVP of the football and golf teams; and

Whereas, Mr. Seawell earned a bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina in 1964, where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. He lettered on the university golf team all four years and served as the team's captain. He captured the 1964 South Carolina Intercollegiate Individual Title and led his team to the 1964 Atlantic Coast Conference Championship; and

Whereas, in the patriotic tradition of the sons of South Carolina, he served in the United States Army in 1965, assigned to Fort Jackson, and finished first in his class during basic training; and

Whereas, Mr. Seawell served as the head golf professional at Ramsgate Country Club in Mauldin, Cobb's Glen in Anderson, and Woodside Plantation Club in Aiken. He was director of golf at Sage Valley Golf Club in Aiken and the owner of Houndslake Country Club in Aiken; and

Whereas, a highly decorated PGA professional, he selflessly promoted the game of golf for the last five decades, during which time he modeled outstanding leadership to junior golfers, as well as the importance of character, integrity, and respect. He was also a talented musician; and

Whereas, some of Mr. Seawell's many honors include induction into the South Carolina Golf Hall of Fame and the T. L. Hanna High School Athletics Hall of Fame; being the recipient of the Thomas Hitchcock & William C. Whitney Palmetto Golf Club Award, Golf Week Father of the Year Award, and the University of South Carolina Department of Athletics Extraordinary Contributions Award; and being named the honorary captain of the South Carolina PGA Palmetto Cup team; and

Whereas, together with his beloved wife of fifty-five years, Claire, he reared four fine children: Jay Seawell of Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Daniel Seawell and David Seawell of Aiken; and Julie Allen of Columbia. His children blessed him with the affection of eleven loving grandchildren: Brooke Carter, Jackson Seawell, Anna Allen, Wade Allen, Lauren Seawell, Mary Margaret Seawell, Leah Allen, Ellie Seawell, Caroline Seawell, Annette Seawell, and Lee Seawell; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Jackie Seawell and for his loving family example and the standard of excellence he set for all who knew him. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, extend their deepest sympathy to the large and loving family and the many friends of Columbus Jackson "Jackie" Seawell III and express their profound sorrow upon his passing.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Columbus Jackson "Jackie" Seawell III.
