Chuck Seifert Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information (jostfuneralhome.com)
February 25, 1949 - February 16, 2022
Charles (Chuck) Wayne Seifert went to heaven to be with his heavenly father on February 16, 2022. Chuck was born on February 25, 1949 in Marion, Kansas to Leland and Hilda (Domke) Seifert. He was the first of four sons.
He accepted the Lord as his Savior at 10 years old.
He attended school in Marion for 12 years, graduating in 1967. He attended college at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Co. He received his bachelor of science degree in forest management. He worked for the state of Colorado for two years as a forest ranger. He then went to work as a lumberjack until he joined his father, Leland and his brother Kenny, in the construction business. Chuck continued in the construction business.
While in Texas he met and married his wife, Gloria, in August 1987. Chuck continued in the construction business building total confinement dairy facilities. Chuck and Gloria moved to Florida in 1989 were he built dairies for the next six years.
In 1994 they moved to Marion for them to begin farming. The love of farming started for Chuck at the age of six years old when his dad put him on a tractor to work the ground in preparation for planting. Chuck liked everything about farming but combining crops was his true love. In October after completing his second round of chemo treatment he got back to Marion where he got on the combine and combined that day and the next. He was so very happy at that time.
Chuck loved hunting and fishing. After harvest each year he could be found with his gun hunting quail and pheasant. After and before hunting season you could find him and his friend Les in Colorado shooting prairie dogs or at one of the lakes fishing. Chuck was a quite man (most of the time).
Chuck is survived by his wife Gloria; his brother Don (Marilee) Seifert of Collidge, AZ; two stepsons Mike (Kim) Shoemaker of Baytown, Tx and Cory Shoemaker of Junction City, KS; three stepgrandchildren, Quinn, Kaylee and Hannah Shoemaker; one nephew Byron Seifert, Tasha Curtis, Rachel Seifert Sullivan, Sarah Anderson and Lydia Seifert and many great nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father Leland, his mother Hilda and two brothers Kenny and Dean. Chuck will be missed by his family and many, many friends.
After Chuck was diagnosed with leukemia, his psycholologist would ask him what he did to relieve stress, which was a question he loved. He would tell them "he didn't have stress. He shot prairie dogs."
