Gene Seyfferth Obituary

Eugene (Gene) Seyfferth passed away on May 23, 2025, at the age of 57, of pancreatic cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family and is survived by his beloved wife of 22 years, Kate Plant. He is also survived by his mother, Nancy Kroen Seyfferth, and his sister Cheryl Byer (Wayne). In addition, he had 7 nieces and nephews to whom he was devoted. Gene was predeceased by his father, Arnold F. Seyfferth, and his sister Stacey Mezzanote (Dave).

Attending Poly High School, Gene went on to graduate from MICA. For 18 years he served as a respected clinical engineer at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was an avid fly fisherman and tied his own flies. Brewing beer (for which he won awards), hiking, and drawing were among his many hobbies. A private Celebration of Life is planned for Gene at a later date.

I didn't know him well, only a quick meeting or two, but he seemed like a good hearted man from what little I got to see of him. I hope his loved ones find solace and peace, and that the pain of loss becomes the warmth of remembrance.

Knew Eugene since he was a growing boy when I started dating his older sister. He was always a pleasure and cherished friend. We had many good times together at family events. His knowledge and skill even was used to help remodel my bathroom and kitchen. He was my friend but more importantly my brother to my wife, his sister. We miss you Gene and this life will never be the same. Until we meet again, love you, Wayne.
