Raeburne Seeley Heimbeck September 25, 1930 – February 9, 2016
Rae was a modern day Renaissance Man: Scholar -Philosopher – Teacher; Athlete – Yogi – Traveler – Adventurer; Patron of the Arts – Supporter of endowments and multiple charities -Sponsor of foreign exchange students. He was born on September 25, 1930 to Harold and Dulce Heimbeck in Rock Island, Illinois, the second of two children and their only son. His parents ran an antique store, but in 1936, when the hardships of the Depression became too significant, they shuttered their store and moved to Santa Monica, with their two young children, in search of their fortune in the nascent Southern California environment. (there is a lot more about Rae’s adult life – too much for this newsletter – ask me for the complete obit) Rae was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He is survived by his wife Cindy, sons Bryn and Reid, Bryn’s wife Yoko, sister Dandelyn O’Connor and nephews Craig and Blake O’Connor, grandchildren Morgan, Devyn, Nicholas, Alexander, Chiara, Ben, and Sera, and great grandchildren, Keira and Theo.
He passed away peacefully and consciously on February 9, 2016 after a sudden and significant battle with pneumonia and staph. He chose to embrace his own passing stating that he had “come to realize that he had reached the stage in life known as ‘death’, and that he would embrace it as he had embraced all of the other stages of a life that he had found wonderful and precious”. There will be a Celebration of Life on April 23rd at Gallery One at 4:00 PM for all that would like to attend.
