Gary Seyfert Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cornejo Funeral Home & Crematory - Wellington on Jul. 30, 2024.
Gary Seyfert, born on August 6, 1946, in Clarksville, AR, passed away on July 26, 2024, at his residence in Wellington, Kansas. A generous and humble man, Gary spent most of his life working in the aviation overhaul industry as an Aircraft Mechanic before retirement. Known for his resilience, he was a master at repairing lawnmowers and had a soft spot for caring for the neighborhood squirrels. His compassionate heart extended to his love for gardening, camping, fishing, and attending and working auctions. Above all, what mattered most to Gary was his family, a testament to his humility and generosity that he carried throughout his life.
Gary is survived by his son, Aaron Seyfert; daughters, Amy (Marvin) Hadsall, Terri Kunzler, and Camille (Steven) Maxwell; sister, Georgia Harris; brothers, Tommy (Sharon) Seyfert, and Glen Seyfert; nine grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren who will continue to remember him for his humble nature and resilience. He is preceded in death by his father, Raymond Sr.; mother, Ruby Hawley; wife, Charlotte Seyfert; and brothers, Charlie Seyfert and Raymond Jr.
A funeral service in honor of Gary's life will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 2:00 pm CDT at Cornejo Funeral Home & Crematory, located at 1030 Mission Road, Wellington, Kansas, 67152. We invite all who knew and loved Gary to join us in celebrating his life.
