MANUEL ALBRECHT SEILERN

Manuel “Manzi” Seilern passed away at his home in Kincardine in the early morning of March 25, 2025, surrounded by the loving embrace of his family, at the age of 82.
Manuel lived a long and fruitful life as a dedicated husband, adoring father, gushing Opa, loyal friend and encourager to everyone he met. Above all, he loved Jesus and never passed up an opportunity to share what He had done in his life.
Forever in the hearts of his beloved wife of 45 years, Andrea (née Spencer); his adoring children and their spouses: Esther, Mathias (Jenny), Timothy (Elizabeth) and Rachel (Tom Fawcett).
Manuel is the cherished Opa to his 16 treasured grandchildren: Tyler; Ronan, Logan, Aurora and Eleanor; Annabelle, Benjamin, Lucas, Daniel and Caleb; Clementine, Theo, Juniper Eve, Boaz, Thaddeus, Asher and one more on the way.
Predeceased by his parents Emilie & Paul, and brothers Peter and Thomas.
He will be lovingly remembered by his sister Ingrid Szauter, sister-in-law Lilliana, son-in-law Kirk Jones, mother-in-law Judith Spencer, brothers- and-sisters-in-law: Ron Spencer, Jeff Spencer (Paula) and Kim Spencer; and by nephews and nieces: Danny, Timmy and Rubin, Manuela, Dilaila and Tania, Rebecca, Alisha and Natasha, Beverly and Brian, Osiris, Norman and Ashton, Summer, Skyla, Cash and Cruz, and their families.
Manuel invested in countless lives – friends and strangers alike – with his outpouring of love, affection and heartfelt advice. His loss is deeply felt by many.
Manuel’s life will be celebrated with a visitation from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 4, 2025 with a funeral service to be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Both will take place at the Lighthouse Fellowship Baptist Church, 83 Mahood Johnston Drive, Kincardine; the service will be live-streamed and accessible online through www.lighthousefellowshipbaptist.ca.
The family would like to thank all the healthcare workers for their love and care, as well as their neighbours and community for the incredible outpouring of love during this time.
