Obituary of Robert John Seifred
Seifred, Robert John
January 18, 1960 – July 7, 2021
Succumbed to cancer in his sixty-second year despite heroic efforts by KGH staff. Robert est né à Montréal et a grandi à St. Bruno, Québec. He was educated at Regiopolis-Notre Dame in Kingston as well as the University of Guelph and St. Lawrence College. He was a former employee of the Department of National Defence before joining the family business – Bayview Automotive – in Kingston. He is survived by his wife Anna Kelly, parents Mary and Ronald Seifred, and sisters Cathy Lawrynuik (Steve) of Caledon and Lisa Brooks (Mike) of Vancouver. He will be missed by many nieces; Alexandra, Alanna, Emma and Erin and nephews; Christopher, Kyle, and Thomas as well as a large extended family, including his dear grand stepchildren Deegan, Zoey and Brielle. On behalf of Rob, a special thanks to all his loyal friends and to his Braemar neighbours for their kindness over the years. His breadth of knowledge and debating style was legendary.
Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church (392 Palace Rd.) on July 13 from 11:30-1:15pm. The funeral mass will start at 1:30pm, with a graveside service at Cataraqui Cemetery to follow.

There will be a celebration of life held at a later date.
Adieu mon cher ami.
