Cpl. Seamus M. Davey of Lewis, New York graduated high school in 1998 where he played lacrosse, football and basketball and attended Grossmont College while living in San Diego. Three days before the body of Seamus M. Davey was returned from Iraq, his family celebrated what would have been his 26th birthday with a cake, while neighbors poured in and out of the house. "I think Seamus' mom said it best," said Davey's cousin, Brigham Davey. "'He was our son, but once he went into the Marine Corps, he became everyone's son.' At a memorial service, a statement from fellow Marine Derek Lee's father was read. "I wasn't there, but my son has told me over and over that Davey saved his life. The father's account said the Marines entered a home and met armed insurgents. Lee went down first, but Davey "stood his ground, drawing the attention off my son." He is survived by his parents, Derek and Lorene of Lowville; three sisters Shiloh M. Davey and her fiancé Ryan Mackey of Cambridge, Mass; Brittany L. Davey and Austin A. Davey both of Lowville; his paternal grandparents James R. Davey of Lowville, and Marget S. Davey of Brantingham; aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is predeceased by his maternal grandparents Frederick Olson and Conradine Ross. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Lowville and Lewis County Detachment #754, Marine Corps League. He was 25.
