Dan John Seaberg

Dan John Seaberg, 79, residing in Lakeland, FL passed away from Parkinson's Disease on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

Dan was born on April 06, 1945, at Fairview Riverside Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College (class of '67) and Alexander Ramsey High School (class of '63). Although working at the Seaberg family furniture store in New Brighton, MN may have sparked his career path in sales and corporate finance, his true passions included fishing, photography, antiques, board games, and vintage cars. He had a soft spot for animals and was kind to all creatures (except mosquitoes!). You could find him enjoying a weekend at the Seaberg cabin up north, fishing with his Alpha Kappa Psi buddies, or attending vintage car shows. He and his wife, Candy, were among the thousands of "snowbirds" that escaped the cold Minnesota winters and the hot Florida summers by splitting their time between their two homes. Spending time with family and friends, doodling, watching the sunset, appreciating live music, dining at restaurants, and meeting new people brought him joy. He was artistically talented in designing house plans, including their Minnesota home, and would have been an excellent Architect. Dan will be remembered as a kind-natured and stubborn Swede with a heart of gold.

Dan is survived by his loving wife, Candace "Candy" Seaberg, his son, James Kevin Beach, his daughter, Kari (David) Dorth, and Candy's children Kris (Chris) Boll, Leslie Chapman, and Greg (Cameryn) Robinson, and grandchildren who lovingly called him "Papa Dan", Gwen, Bradyn, Grace, Noel, Nathan II, Ella, Elise, and Bre. Dan is survived by his sister, Donna (Richard) Madden, and his brother, David (Barb) Seaberg, his niece Nikki Seaberg, his nephew Matt Seaberg, his niece Melissa (Joel) Sundqvist, his nephew Chris (Majelleke) Madden, his former wife, Nancy Seaberg, and his beloved furry friend, Higgins. Dan was preceded in death by his parents, George and Joyce Seaberg, and his sister-in-law, Kathy Seaberg.

We will celebrate his life in Florida on Friday, November 8th, and in Minnesota this spring (Date TBD). Please feel free to attend one or both events.
