On December 1, 2025, Denver’s marketing and business community was deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Rachel Canaday Haft, the talented and beloved Marketing Manager at Lotus Marketing, Inc. Known for her creativity, warmth, and sharp professionalism, Rachel left an enduring impact on every colleague, client, and campaign she touched.
At Lotus Marketing, Rachel was known for making challenging work seem effortless. She led campaigns with a rare combination of visionary thinking and meticulous attention to detail, consistently delivering results that delighted clients and inspired her team.
Beyond her professional skill, Rachel had a gift for genuine connection. Whether mentoring a junior team member, reassuring a concerned client, or celebrating a success with donuts and enthusiasm, she built trust through authenticity and care. Her laughter was a familiar sound in the office, her guidance was always accessible, and her high standards motivated everyone around her to rise to their best.
Outside the office, Rachel embraced life with the same vibrant energy. She enjoyed hiking Colorado’s trails with her dog, exploring new restaurants in RiNo, and curating the perfect playlist for every adventure. She was the friend who never forgot a birthday, who checked in with a thoughtful message, and who knew exactly when someone needed encouragement or company.
Denver has lost one of its most dynamic and caring professionals. Rachel Canaday Haft did more than excel at marketing—she built meaningful relationships, sparked innovation, and made everyone around her better. While the city feels quieter without her presence, her influence continues in every project she shaped and every person she uplifted.
Arrangements for a funeral and celebration of life will be announced by her family at a later time. For now, the community holds her loved ones close in thought, honoring an extraordinary woman who turned work into creativity and colleagues into family.
Rest easy, Rachel. Your next big idea continues to inspire.
