Reuben Lynn Seader

On February 20, 2023, Reuben Lynn Seader, passed away at the age of 71. Reuben was born on June 29, 1951, at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado, to Reuben H and Dorothy (Sheltman) Seader. He was the oldest of four siblings. Reuben was born prematurely and weighed only 1389 grams (3 lbs) resulting in Cerebral Palsy. His survival, at that time, was considered miraculous and a testament to his strong will.

Reuben began attending summer camp at the Easter Seals Handicamp, now called Rocky Mountain Village, in 1957, the year the camp opened. After attending camp multiple times throughout his childhood and adolescent years, Reuben also worked at the camp, both in the kitchen and directly with campers, as an adult. Camp was a place that felt like home for Reuben, and he always loved visiting and supporting the camp in any way that he could. His association with Easter Seals did not stop with the camp. Reuben was employed at the Easter Seals office in Lakewood, Colorado for many years as part of the Day Program and as a Job/Transportation Coach.

Reuben attended and graduated from the Charles Boettcher School in Denver in 1970. He was married to Lisken (Richards) in 1993 and their daughter Adeline was born in 2001. In addition to his time with Easter Seals, he was employed as a radio disc jockey and in guest services at Bullwhackers Casino in Blackhawk, Colorado. He was extraordinarily outgoing and never met a stranger. One of his other great passions was cars. He enjoyed attending car shows and working on cars, adored warm/hot weather and the beach, and loved listening to almost all genres of music, but the apple of his eye was his daughter Adeline. He was a wonderful and loving dad.

Reuben is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Ted (Teri) Seader. He is survived by his daughter Adeline Seader, his brother Mark (Debbie) Seader, his sister Jody (Larry) Larghe, and a half sister Tangaree Weigel, as well as many nieces and nephews and their families.
