Marcus Seyer

ROCKVIEW, Mo. — Marcus J. Seyer, 92, of Rockview departed this life Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2021, at his home.

He was born Sept. 14, 1929, in Rockview to the late Fred Seyer and Alvina Ziegler Seyer.

Marcus graduated from Chaffee (Missouri) High School in 1948. He went on to study at Chicago Technical College in Chicago, graduating in May 1950, having excelled in all coursework. Marcus brought this knowledge back to his hometown and started working with his father-in-law, Gregory Westrich, in 1950. The team went on to create the partnership S&W Cabinets in 1954.

Marcus was also a veteran of the U.S. Navy Reserve.

In 1974, the next generation of Seyers stepped into the cabinetry business. Continuing their father's strive for quality products, Steve, Richard and Rodger continue to work the day-to-day operations of S&W Cabinets today. The company became nationwide, including four different cabinet industries with three successful cabinet divisions. All three locations are run out of the Chaffee campus.

On Oct. 21, 1950, Marcus married the love of his life, Virginia L. Westrich, in Chaffee at St. Ambrose Catholic Church. The loving couple were blessed with six children: Patricia Little, Steve Seyer, Linda (Jerry) Lee, Richard (Julie) Seyer and Rodger (Shellie) Seyer, all of Chaffee; and Tim (Janel) Seyer of Pacifica, California.

Marcus is survived by his wife, of the home, and children. He is also survived by one brother, Arthur J. Seyer of Arnold, Missouri; by one sister, Betty Glastetter of Oran, Missouri; as well as 11 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; and four great-stepgrandchildren.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by one brother, Robert Seyer; one sister, Rosemary Elfrink; and one great-stepgrandchild.

Visitation will be held from 4 until 8 p.m. Tuesday at Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Chaffee, with a prayer service at 4 p.m.

The funeral Mass will be conducted at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St, Ambrose Catholic Church in Chaffee, with Father Joseph Kelly officiating. Interment will follow in St. Ambrose Cemetery.
