Lucas was born July 12, 1982, in Britt, Iowa, the son of Charles and Tina (Mulhern) Seebeck. He attended school in Wesley and then moved to Clear Lake where he graduated from Clear Lake High School in 2000.
Following high school he moved to Summit County in Colorado, where he built log homes. He enjoyed hiking and snowboarding in the mountains. He later moved back to Iowa to do construction so he could be closer to his daughter and family.
His favorite pastime was playing basketball, volleyball and spending time with his family and friends. Lucas made friends everywhere he went and touched many lives. He lived every day to the fullest.
He is survived by his father, Chuck (Gail) Seebeck, Clear Lake, Iowa; his mother, Tina M. (Robert) Hudspeth, Garner, Iowa; daughter Emma Clabaugh, Marion, Iowa; siblings, Dani (Aaron) Sauerbrei, Readlyn, Iowa, Samantha Peterson, Des Moines, Iowa, Michael Peterson, Clear Lake, Iowa, Tara (Dave) Rochleau, Whittemore, Iowa, Tim (Melissa) Hudspeth, Bouton, Iowa, and Todd Hudspeth, Storm Lake, Iowa; maternal grandmother, Alice Mulhern, Mason City, Iowa; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins; and his beloved dog Duke.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Fred Mulhern, and paternal grandparents, Charles and Marian Seebeck.

It is these things that comfort us and will help us in the days, weeks, years to come. Lucas is loved and will be deeply missed here on this earth...but we know it is only temporary as we will see him again in heaven. God bless you all...the family of Lucas Seebeck

I enjoyed seeing and talking to Lukas at our alumni basketball tournaments. He always made an effort to come and play and I know all the guys appreciated and enjoyed being around him. He was a superb athlete, well liked and a great person. I know the Clear Lake Alumni Basketball Tournament won’t be the same without him.

Dear Chuck, Tina, Dani and families,
I was heartbroken to learn from Bruce about Lucas' passing. I can't imagine how all of you are having to deal with this but I know our Heavenly Father will be by your side.
I remember Lucas, of course, as a very young boy, and will always remember his smile and the sweet little boy he was. It was so incredible to see what a handsome man he had become and that his smile was just the same.
Know you are in my prayers and in my heart and will continue to be in the days to come.
Love, Jan (Meurer) Loots
