Hugh was born on August 14, 1938, in Three Rivers, Texas to Elvert H. Seiber Sr and Laura Elizabeth Taylor Seiber. While growing up the family lived in several areas across Texas, finally settling in the Weatherford area. Hugh worked in his Dad’s feed mill while completing school. After graduating from Aledo High School in 1956, Hugh spent 36 years serving in the United States Army in a variety of active duty and reserve assignments. This included combat tours in Viet Nam and Desert Storm, before retiring as a Colonel in 1991. During that time, he also owned and operated an RV business in Amarillo, Texas, before he moved to the DFW area and opened an RV business in Sherman, Texas. After his retirement, he and Theresa moved to Donie, Texas where he spent his days dabbling in the cattle business, enjoying fishing, and traveling before moving back to Weatherford in June 2020.

Hugh was preceded in death by his parents, two younger brothers, Donald Dean Seiber and Brian Anthony “Tony” Seiber and an older sister, Betty Jo Seiber Joplin.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Theresa; four sons, all Veterans, who followed his inspired legacy of service to the nation: Patrick R.

Steinbock and wife, Denise of Trophy Club, Texas; one daughter, Shannon K. Pyle of Boerne, Texas; 11 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.

His pride and joy were his family, followed by the opportunity to have served his country.
