Michael Seidenberg

Michael Seidenberg Sr., 67, of Williamstown, a man of unwavering passion, fierce loyalty, and deep love, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

He was a devoted husband of 43 years to Debbie, a proud father of four sons & four daughters-in-laws, Michael Jr. (Jennifer), Frank (Courtney), Matthew (Perpetua) and Nicholas (Amanda). An adoring grandfather to thirteen grandchildren, Michael III, Matthew II, Brayden, Seraphina, Perpetua, Felicity, Evianna, Amelia, Nicholas Jr., Madelina, Nathaniel, Francesca, and Briella – each of whom he cherished beyond what words could ever express. He was also a tender fur-dad to his Yorkie Rosie, and the late Tinkey and Woofy Chips.

Born as a twin, Michael shared a lifelong bond with his brother, David, that exemplified this depth of connection and love he brought to all his relationships. He was a loving brother to Erna Cohen (Michael), Helen Prato (Nicholas), David Seidenberg (Laurie), Randy Kinsley (Timothy), Stacey Kerins (Richard), Tracey Droukas (George), and his late brother, Gary Seidenberg. He leaves behind a large extended family including siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, as well as genuine friends. He loved with a sincere heart and was the kind of man who made sure they knew it and felt it.

Michael lived life with purpose and intention. He was tenacious in spirit, steadfast in his values, and unshakably devoted to those he loved. His presence was both grounding and uplifting – a constant source of strength, wisdom, and humor. Michael's family was the center of his world. He absolutely adored going to watch his grandkids play sports and participate in their various activities. One of his favorite sayings was, "a family that plays together, stays together" and he meant it. Family time, including dinners and outings, was of the upmost importance to him. He made sure they all made each other a priority, supported each other in their goals, and protected each other without hesitation. When the whole family couldn't get together, he enjoyed watching shows and going to the diner with Debbie, where they would spend time talking about the family and relaxing.

He had a fascination with the beauty of the natural world. Whether carefully studying and collecting gemstones or speculating with excitement about the latest Bigfoot sighting, his curiosity never waned. He had an insatiable desire to learn, always keeping up with world events and delighting in spirited conversations about the state of things – never without a strong opinion and a kind heart. He enjoyed reading, history, and educating himself on many different topics.

To know Michael was to be known – truly seen and deeply loved. His legacy lives on in the lives of his beloved wife, his sons, his grandchildren, siblings, extended family, and all who had the privilege of walking alongside him. A fighter until the very end, strong and steady in all ways. He was loved beyond measure and will be sorely missed more than words can say.

A viewing will be held on Monday, July 7th, 2025, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at the Bell-Hennessy Funeral Home, 420 S. Main St, Williamstown, NJ 08094. Any who knew and loved Michael are welcome to join us in remembering his life and sharing in this time of reflection and support. Immediately following the viewing, we invite just family to stay for a short private prayer. Michael's family appreciates all the love and support during this very difficult time.
