Tanner Seebaum, who fought a long battle against brain cancer, passed away in Centennial, Colorado last Friday.
The 16 year old, more fruitfully known as DJ Tanner, battled tumors his entire life before an “inoperable” diagnosis in June left him with just a few weeks to live, The Las Vegas Sun reported.
Seebaum lived out his dream with a bittersweet one hour set at Rehab Pool in Las Vegas during Electric Daisy Carnival weekend (June 22). Along with The Hard Rock Hotel and DJ Landon Dyksterhouse, time paused and everyone captured the moment never to be forgotten.
“We’re just very thankful to Las Vegas in general for changing our perception of the people, of the attitudes, and graciousness and openness they showed for letting Tanner do this; to Landon, to Hard Rock, they did a lot to make that happen for Tanner. It’s kind of what he needed to let go. We sort of joked that he had to do Vegas before he could let go.” – Matt Seebaum, Tanner’s Father, to The Las Vegas Sun
