It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenny Seaman, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, who departed this world on May 15, 2026, at the age of 43. Kenny passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his devoted mother, Agnes, and sister, Candace, at his side. A gentle spirit, Kenny was born on February 15, 1983, in the small town of Blountstown, Florida, a place he cherished throughout his life.
Kenny was the cherished son of the late Ronnie Seaman and Agnes Seaman, and he carried forward the values instilled in him by his parents. He shared an unbreakable bond with his sister, Candace Whaley, who was his confidante and best friend. Kenny was a proud uncle to his nieces, Bethany Young, Emily Young, and Faith Young, his nephews, Jakob and Raylen Young. He brought joy to the lives of his great-niece, Amelia Young and great-nephew, Nolan Ammons, whose laughter and innocence always brightened his day.
A graduate of Marianna Adult School in 2001, Kenny was a man of simple pleasures and deep-rooted values. He found immense joy in the beauty of the outdoors, often spending countless hours helping his father tend to their yard and meticulously maintaining their family vehicle. Kenny had a unique ability to transform the ordinary into extraordinary moments of shared joy and laughter.
Kenny possessed a childlike wonder that he maintained throughout his life, often indulging in the nostalgic charm of Saturday morning cartoons, which he enjoyed watching all week long. His sense of humor was infectious, and he had a remarkable gift for lightening the mood with a well-timed joke, leaving those around him with smiles on their faces and warmth in their hearts.
While he preferred the solace of a close-knit family gathering over large celebrations, Kenny’s presence was always felt deeply by those who knew him. He cherished the simple joys of spending time with his family, creating memories that will forever be etched in their hearts.
In honoring Kenny’s wishes, no formal celebration of life will be held. Instead, his family encourages all who knew him to remember Kenny as he was-a private individual with a generous heart and an enduring love for his family and the world around him.
As we bid farewell to Kenny, we find solace in knowing that he is now reunited with his father, Ronnie, in a place of eternal peace. Though he leaves a void that can never be filled, the legacy of his kindness, humor, and loved will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
Rest in peace, dear Kenny. You will forever be remembered and cherished by your family and friends, who will continue to carry your memory in their hearts.

Gloria "Dorothy" Jean Nunnery, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed peacefully at her home in Wewahitchka on May 14, 2026, at the age of 76. Born on March 25, 1950, in the historic coal town of Welch, West Virginia, Dorothy was the heart and light of her family, spreading warmth and kindness wherever she went. The daughter of the late Jack Terry and Elouise Toole Terry, Dorothy was one of seven siblings. She is predeceased by her parents and siblings—Jack Terry, Jimmy Terry, Linda Knowles, Joann Terry, Cathy Gainous, and Rebecca “Becky” Nugent—as well as her stepson, Jeremy Jay Nunnery. Though she has left this world, their reunion in the hereafter is a comforting thought for those she leaves behind. Dorothy is survived by her devoted husband of 23 years, Harold Nunnery, who stood by her side in love and faith. Together, they built a life full of cherished memories and endless devotion. Dorothy's legacy of love continues through her four children: David Newsome (Jamie), George Newsome (Lisa), Stacey Hayes, and Katrina Nunnery (Lamar). Her heart overflowed with pride for her nine grandchildren—A.J. Hayes, Cassie Hayes (Emilly), Rebekah Newsome (Matthew), Austin Guffey (Shayla), Cody Johnson, CaseXX Johnson (Briana), Braydon Nunnery (Meagan), Trevor Nunnery (Shelby), and Auburn Nunnery. She was further blessed with thirteen great-grandchildren: Kynslee, Jasper, Maycee, Mason, Millie, Maggie, Memphis, Charlie, Chandler, Emilia, Lilly, Amos, and Porter. Dorothy's life was a testament to the power of love, faith, and family. She devoted her early career to the well-being of others as a dietitian, and later became a full-time stay-at-home wife and mother. Her nurturing spirit earned her the affectionate title of "Granny," (Dot) a name spoken with love by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she delighted in helping raise. A woman of deep faith, Dorothy's greatest joy was her relationship with The Lord. Sundays were spent in reverent worship with her husband along with her little buddy Jasper and she found immense peace and comfort in God's word. Her home was a sanctuary of love and acceptance, where no stranger went unwelcomed. Known for her kindness, her mothering nature, and a gentle stubbornness that often brought a smile, Dorothy's life was a beacon of love. Dorothy's family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Emerald Coast Hospice for their compassionate care during her final days. As they mourn her passing, they find solace in the scripture that Dorothy held dear: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." — 2 Corinthians 5:8. Dorothy leaves behind a legacy of love and faith that continues to shine brightly in the lives of all who knew her. Her memory will forever be cherished, her life celebrated, and her love eternally remembered. Her life will continue on through her family.
