SEAVER, Charles (Chuck) Anderson

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona, Saturday, December 29, 2012 Charles Anderson Seaver passed away at the Margaret T. Morris Center (a dementia and Alzheimer's care facility) in Prescott, Ariz., on Monday, Dec. 24, 2012, at the age of 84. Chuck (also called Carlos) was born in Phoenix, Ariz., July 12, 1928 - one of five children born to Archer W. and Lillian (Carlson) Seaver. After graduating from Litchfield High School in 1946, he joined the U.S. Navy as an enlisted man and served two years on an aircraft carrier that was on an around-the-world cruise. Following his military service discharge in 1948, Chuck attended the University of Arizona in Tucson for a short time. Chuck then started his career with the federal government beginning with the Border Patrol, Customs and Immigration. He also served as one of the first federal air marshals when that program was started. Chuck then joined the Deptartment of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration as a special agent when it was first established and lived on the U.S./Mexican border. Following his retirement from the DEA in 1978, he lived in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico, where he enjoyed fishing and socializing - he was everyone's friend! He was preceded in death by his parents in 1981 and 1991, and his brother Joseph H. Seaver in 1996. Chuck is survived by his brothers, Archer Seaver of Utah and Edward Seaver of Prescott; sister, Marion Seaver of Phoenix; and daughter, Cindy Buterbaugh of Tennessee. In addition to numerous nieces and nephews, other children missing him are Anna Seaver-Martin, Jack Seaver, Toni Perez, Juliette Puccini, Kokin Leon, Hector Fernando, and Julio Cesar Cabrera of Arizona, California and Mexico. A memorial gathering will be in Phoenix at a later date. Please visit heritagemortuary.com to sign Chuck's online guestbook. Services entrusted to Heritage Memory Mortuary.
