Christopher James Seely

On Friday, June 24th 2022, Christopher James Seely, born March 5, 1985, soared through the heavens to be enveloped into the loving arms of God. Chris was a man of faith and last attended Rio Church in Blount County. We treasure the goodness of his heart, his effervescent personality, and the essence of his soul, even though the beast of opiate addiction took him away too early in life. We remember his compassionate heart and willingness to help others, his dedication and love for God, family, friends and participation in sports, including basketball, golf, and fishing. A Powell High graduate, he was honored as the KIL Basketball Co-Player of the Year in 2003 for Knox County.
