Seth Cameron Snelling

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Seth Cameron Snelling, who departed this life Tuesday, July 7th 2026 at the age of 26 in West Columbia, South Carolina. Seth was born Friday, November 19, 1999 in Columbia South Carolina to Brandy Dawn Davis and Ronald Eugene Mathews.

Seth was known for his kindness, generosity, and sense of humor. His smile was a dead giveaway that a joke was coming. He found joy in gaming, reading, and playing with his dog Elise.

Seth was a lifelong learner whose curiosity and love of knowledge were evident to everyone who knew him. He was always eager to explore new ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and engage in meaningful conversations. Whether discussing history, science, current events, or a new interest he had discovered, Seth found genuine joy in learning and in sharing that passion with others.

Music was woven throughout Seth’s life. From the day he received his first pair of drumsticks and a practice pad, his love for music began to flourish. Over the years, his appreciation grew to encompass a wide range of genres, and he found joy in discovering new artists and revisiting old favorites. Music was more than something he listened to-it was a lifelong companion that reflected his curiosity, creativity, and appreciation for life’s many rhythms.

Whether it be as a 911 dispatcher, a loved one, or as a friend, Seth touched the lives of many and will be remembered for the warmth and light he brought to others.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Michael Anthony Snelling Sr., and Linda “Mama Kay” Snelling.

He leaves to cherish his memory: His parents Brandy and Bryan Davis, and Ron Mathews (B.J.); grandparents Denise Snelling, Ron “Opa” and Teresa “Oma” Mathews; siblings Monty Bruce (Mason), Tara Bruce, Bryan Davis Jr., Brianna Davis, and Nick Zimmerman; many uncles and aunts, Mike Snelling Jr. (Tracey), Ty Snelling (Stephanie), Caspar Snelling, Allison Dennis, Crystal Trimnal (Joey), and Priscilla Steele (Jonathan); beloved friends Kenneth Carpenter, Andrew Culver, and Noel Hiner; his cherished Godson Emmett Carpenter along with a host of other family and friends that loved him dearly.

Following visitation, a funeral service will be held at 11:00 am. Seth will be laid to rest next to “Mama Kay” at Southland Memorial Gardens, 700 W Dunbar Rd, West Columbia, SC 29170.
