John Allen Seitzinger

John Seitzinger passed away peacefully at home on June 14, 2014. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, June 29th at 4:00 pm at Bel Air Park in Weed. John was born in Ceres, California on December 24, 1965. He and his twin brother Joel were welcomed by brother Robert and parents Bob and Edie. Brother Mark joined the family three years later. John went on to attend Modesto Christian School, and Davis High School in Modesto. He received certificates in welding and began his career as a welder. In 1987, John married Lorrie Harrison and they had two children, John and Jennifer. Spending his first 38 years in the Modesto area, John moved to McCloud in 2003, joining his mom and stepfather, Edie and Tom Adams, and maternal grandparents, George and Elizabeth Muma. In 2004 he met the love of his life, Georgia Barberick. They were married in August 2011, and made their home in Yreka. John had a quiet air of confidence about him, and was a gentle, kind and loving man. He was always puttering, working at something, keeping his hands busy. He made many improvements to the home he and Georgia bought in Yreka. He helped create a loving home there for his stepson Phillip, and two young granddaughters, Christine and Patience, who lived with John and Georgia this past year. John was always so willing to help others, giving of his time and energy. He never said no when someone needed his assistance. John was a beautiful person, inside and out. He was predictable, dependable, generous, always loving, always kind. We love you John, and we miss you more than words can say. John is survived by his wife, Georgia, children John and Jennifer, stepsons Ronnie, Sean and Phillip, and granddaughters, Christine and Patience; mother and stepfather, Edie and Tom Adams, brothers Robert Seitzinger (and Michelle), Joel Seitzinger (and Stephanie), Mark Seitzinger (and Barbara); step-sister Shelley Blakely (and Cliff), step-brother Dean Adams, step mother Judy Seitzinger; parents-in-law Maureen and George Barberick, sisters-in-law Debbie Jackson (and Pete), Kelly Sanders, and Robin Merten, brothers-in-law George Barberick (and Jill), and Bob Gunion; and a large extended family that includes aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. John is predeceased by his father Robert Seitzinger. We extend our deepest and heartfelt thanks to everyone for their love and kindness during this difficult time. Special thanks to Ozotech Inc. for their support, and Family Smiles Dentistry for their unwavering support and generosity.
