KALISPELL — Henry Homer Seibert died at Kalispell Regional Hospital on Sunday, March 9, 2014, from natural causes. Henry was born on Sept. 13, 1962, in Ronan to H. Homer and Anita R. Seibert.
His father and his brother Tom preceded him in death.
He is survived by his son Jacob (Letitia) of Missoula; mother Anita Seibert of Ronan; brother Gregg Brown (Marabeth) of Great Falls; sister Bette Hawkins of Ronan; sister Mary (Alan) of Elliston; one granddaughter (Annabelle); two step-grandchildren Brendon and Bella; two nephews and one niece; three step-nephews; two great nieces and two great nephews. Other surviving relatives include aunts, uncles, and numerous cousins.
Henry grew up on the family ranch in Round Butte, 10 miles west of Ronan. As a small boy he loved to roam the hills on the ranch and often his parents would rely on the family’s red Irish setter to see where he had ventured off to. He spent several summers with his cousins as part of his mom’s haying crew. He enjoyed spending time with his numerous cousins on the family ranch during his years growing up. Some of his cousins were more like brothers and sisters instead of cousins.
During his high school years he was active in football, wrestling, FFA, and 4-H. After graduation from Ronan High School he lived in Wyoming and California. While in California he became the proud father of Jacob Thomas Seibert during his marriage to Patty Walters. After living in California for several years he moved back to the state he loved, Montana. During his life Henry worked on big ranches, as a tow truck driver, iron worker, bar bouncer, dry-wall installer, Ronan police officer, spud field worker, and an over the road truck driver. He fulfilled one of his dreams when he drove over the road truck with his dad.
Henry was never afraid to do what had to be done. Henry loved dancing, singing Karaoke, shooting pool and having a good time. During the last months of his life, Henry became a very proud grandpa to his beautiful granddaughter Annabelle. He was very proud of his son, and loved his family and friends very much.
Henry was an organ donor and so he will live on in other people. He also wished to be cremated. Therefore, his family will have a “Celebration of His Life” this summer and will keep family members and friends posted on when and where that will take place.
Please make any memorials to the charity of your choice in his name.
