IN MEMORIAM
Brian Seeley instructing Tai Chi at CHPV event
Brian D Seeley
1972 – 2023
Chicago Hyde Park Village mourns the unexpected and untimely passing of Brian Seeley. Many members of the CHPV community know Brian well as our favored Tai Chi class instructor for many years.

Brian's wife, Michelle, shares the following tribute as we mourn his loss:

"I know all of you participated in making his dream of successfully teaching tai chi happen.  Truly, this was his calling and I want to thank you all so much for filling his life with meaning and delight."

There are no plans for a formal memorial service.
