Lincoln Charter School coach dies following COVID-19 diagnosis

A popular Lincoln Charter School physical education teacher and coach died Sunday after being hospitalized with COVID-19.

Jamie Seitz's death came just hours after students and staff held a prayer vigil at the school's Denver campus Sunday afternoon.

Seitz coached golf and basketball at the school and taught physical education to all grade levels at Lincoln Charter School for more than a decade.

Joshua Williams taught physical education alongside Seitz and looked up to him as an older brother.

"The man's heart was as big as all outdoors," Williams said. "Every time you saw him, it was a smile on his face and he had good words."

I know nobody will believe me, but I’m at this school. My teacher told me, and I was very sad. I really liked him, he was very nice to us. I hope he’s in a better place now. Miss you Couch Sieghtz.
