Jeff Seaton, age 60, of Sioux Falls, SD (formerly of Ames, IA) died at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD on March 31, 2023. A visitation will be held from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa with a 1:00 p.m. graveside service on Thursday, April 6, at Ames Municipal Cemetery in Ames, Iowa.

Jeff was born June 14, 1962, in Ames, Iowa to loving parents Dr. Vaughn and Clara Seaton. He grew up in Ames and graduated from Ames High School in 1980. Jeff then graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor's in Marketing. He worked with KASI Radio in Ames until he moved to Sioux Falls, SD where he has been with Results Radio's as a Senior Marketing Strategist for the last 15 years. Jeff married Gina McCutchan in 1995 and together they welcomed their daughter Sophie into the world in 2001. Sophie was the absolute apple of Jeff's eye and he was so very proud of her.

Jeff was an avid fan of ISU Football, Basketball, and of course, The Kansas City Chiefs. Jeff played a great round of golf and enjoyed dropping a line into the water from time to time. His favorite trips were the ones he took golfing/fishing up north with "The Boys" every other year. He remained close with many good friends from way back, all of whom he loved so much. Jeff loved to chew the fat with them whenever he could. He never met a pizza he didn't like, and he had a particular affinity for classic rock, especially Aerosmith and The Stones.

Jeff is survived by his wife, Gina, his daughter, Sophie, his dad, Vaughn and his brother, Greg (Sheri) Seaton.

Jeff was preceded in death by his mother Clara Seaton, and step-son Cassidy James Powell.

Jeff wanted everyone to remember his life motto: Life Is Just A Bowl Full Of Cherries.

To all of Jeff's family & friends, I graduated with Jeff from AHS, and he was always smiling and had a good word for everyone. I want to send out to all who are suffering my prayers, my positive strength and energy. I have good memories of Jeff, and the kind soul that he was.

Jeff was always so big hearted! I had just moved to Ames and being new to the high school it was so great to have some one so kind and welcoming. I have great memories of being on student council with Jeff and helping him run the concession stand at basketball games. My most heartfelt sympathy to his beautiful family.

So very sad to hear of such an energetic happy guy that we all adored in high school . A party wasn’t a party unless “Seaton “ was there . Caring thoughts to his loved ones going through such a sorrowful time .

To the Seaton Family,
This is a very tough one for me. Jeff and I remained close friends throughout our lives from Kindergarten on. The man was a magnet for his buddies and we loved him unconditionally. I will miss the laughs, advice on life, the MN golf/fishing trips, and just catching up. So many great times and memories! He was truly one of a kind. Until we meet in the next life - RIP JTS Red Dog

To The Seaton Family,

This was tough news to take in. Jeff has been a great co-worker these past 15 years. Jeff and his relationships with clients here at Results Radio kept me busy over the years. I fondly remember the long hot days of Dakota Fest, Tractor Pulls in Iowa, Rodeos in Flandreau, and Mitchell, Jeff showed up. On many of those trips, Gina came along as well so it was nice to get to know her as well. We'll miss him, for sure.

I have to say I was shocked to read of Jeff's passing. I have fond memories of Jeff through school years and occaisional adventures on the b anks of the Skunk River, Carr's pool and River Valley Park.
I Last saw Jeff at the 35th reunion. He was happy in better shape then when I had worked with him at Minsky's Pizza. His smile was infectious and humor was an element to his being. Even as a kid the one adjective that fits is cheerful. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
