Services set for producer Seybold

Monday, May 13, 2002 | 9:29 a.m.

Services for Las Vegas producer/director Harry Seybold, who produced scores of local charity shows and in the 1980s was entertainment director at the old Dunes Hotel, will be 3 p.m. Saturday at the Gold Coast.

Seybold, a Las Vegas resident of 33 years, died Thursday at age 77 of heart and kidney failure at Sunrise Hospital. He was diagnosed last year with adult-onset diabetes.

His major local productions included the annual star-studded Memorial Day shows at the Southern Correctional Desert Center at Indian Springs and the mid-1990s television show "Las Vegas Live" at the old Debbie Reynolds hotel-casino.

Seybold's ex-wife, singer Patti James, said it was not widely known that outside his successful producing career, Seybold during the early 1960s was a professional wrestler known as The Masked Marvel and was a mysterious late-night California disc jockey known simply as The Raven.

Seybold is survived by a son, Jamie Seybold; a daughter, Patricia Killian, both of Las Vegas; and six grandchildren, D.J. Seybold, Jayme Anne Seybold, T.J. Seybold, Aaron Seybold, Michael Killian and Anne Elizabeth Killian.
