There are no words to describe the loss of a great person. I knew Imants from kindergarden thru high school. We had our ups and downs as all friends do. I was happy that he found love and
brought love and happiness to others. I wish I had stayed in touch.There are moments from my childhood spent with Imants that I will never forget .There were things he said that still make me laugh. His spirit we
always be with ones he loved.

As you get older you remember many kind souls you went to school with from K to 12. Many of them you never got to know too well, never went over their houses for a visit or never got to the point where you would call them a good friend. But through the years they were always kind to you and said hello with a smile as you passed them in the hallway. This was the Imants I remember. I'll always remember him as very kind to everyone and never without a smile on his face. What a great guy who I wish I knew better. My condolences to his family. People like Imants make the world a better place.

To The Seperis Family:
We are devasted by this news and loss of such a wonderful man. Please accept our sincere & heartfelt condolences to Christie, Sydney, Katrina & all of the Seperis Family.

Imants spoke of Christie & his girls frequently with pride and honor, his love and commitment for his Family was so evident.

Imants is a mountain of a man in many ways, with his immense energy, joyful character which energized the entire construction job site he worked on. When Imants arrived at the construction site,
announcing his standard greeting "HEY MAN", the big man entered the building, which always brought smiles, lifting up the entire crew's spirits. Spending time with Imants on a construction site was a pleasure,
as he so effortlessly spackled walls/ceilings, he would share stories of his family, insights, which were always upbeat and heartfelt. Imants brought his joyful energy, bright intellect and funny stories
the tedious job sites, where he lifted the crews energy and inspired all.

As a master craftsman, Imants was a true professional in the refined art of plastering, the result of lifelong commitment to hard work & pursuit of quality work – delivering seamless finishes throughout thousands of homes.
For construction professionals, Imants brought reliability and integrity to every project, a critical component of delivering high quality interiors. It was a pleasure to introduce Imants to the homeowners,
who recognized & appreciated Imants generous caring spirit, joyful character and masterful craftsmanship that he invested into their homes.

Imants exemplified the notion of strength, both physically as well as in his character.

We are heartbroken by your loss & wish to offer our support and resources for your family.


God bless Imants & The Seperis Family.
