Randy Seifert
RANDY SEIFERT
Homestead
Randy Alan Seifert, 72, of Homestead, Iowa, passed away Thursday, June 10, 2021, at Mitchellville Care Center.
Randy leaves behind his daughter, Angelique Kramer (Tim) of Cedar Rapids; his grandchildren, Mya Hummel of St. Paul, Minn., Noah Hummel of Cedar Rapids and Kenna Kramer of Cedar Rapids; a brother, Timothy Seifert (Rodolfo) of Chicago; his sister, Karen Seifert (Melodie) of Urbandale; along with beloved aunts and uncles.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Randy was born June 5, 1949, the son of Henry and Margy (Gerard) Seifert. He graduated from Amana High School and was also a proud graduate of The University of Iowa. Randy went on to work for the Amana Refrigeration as an engineer.
There was not an antique Randy did not own or want to own, a steak he could not grill to perfection or a vegetable he had not tried to grow in his garden. Randy loved to quietly fish on the banks of a local pond or the Iowa River; he loved nature, photography, the Chicago Cubs and, most of all, his family.
There will be a private family Celebration of Life later, when his ashes will be scattered along the Iowa River. Online condolences may be left at www.celebratelifeiowa.com/obituaries.
Randy's family is grateful to the staff at Mitchellville Care Center, Crestview Acres and St. Croix Hospice for all the kindness and care given to Randy.
- Dad, you are free from your pain. Grandma and Grandpa will be with you now until we can all meet again.
