Seth Hunter Keener, 23, of Newark, Texas, died on April 15, 2020, after being struck by an accidental gunshot while turkey hunting on the Jack/Young County line. He was hunting with lifelong friends Dylan Garrison and Lucas Smither when one of the men accidentally discharged a firearm; first responders attempted resuscitation but pronounced Seth dead at the scene. Jack County investigators, assisted by the Young County Sheriff’s Office and the Texas Rangers, concluded the shooting was an accident and found no evidence of foul play.

No arrests or suspects were identified because the shooter was one of Seth’s friends and the incident was ruled accidental. The community later honored Seth with a skatepark in Decatur, Texas, named Seth Keener Skatepark, a tribute to his love of skateboarding and outdoor activities.

Does anyone have memories of Seth or information about the skatepark dedication to share?
