SELIG, Kendall Ray

In the morning of Saturday, December 4, 2021, we tragically lost a husband, father, poppy, friend, brother, and uncle. Dad was born October 22, 1955, in Bridgewater, to the late Doris and Mervin Selig of East Clifford.

He had numerous jobs during his early years, but his true passion was working on vehicles. He spent the last years of his career at McCarthy’s Towing. He loved the outdoors. He enjoyed camping, hunting and long road trips on the side by side with friends. In recent years, he had purchased a small fishing boat. Spending the day on the lake with his kids, grandkids, and friends, was one of his favourite things to do. Everyone who knew dad, knew he was the life of the party. He loved music, he loved dancing. He often said he had too many friends and not enough time to visit them all. Dad loved playing washer toss but did not enjoy losing. He was an avid Auction 45 player over the years. However, no-one wanted to be his partner. If the game was going to slow, he’d call 60 for 120, throw out his cards and call suit on the kitty. When not outdoors, tinkering with something or spending time with friends, he was in front of the television. Day and night. This time of the year, Hallmark movies were his favourite.

He is survived by the love of his life for the past 37 years, Barbara (nee Merry), daughters Jodie (Chuck) and Crystal (Chris), as well as his son and best friend Devon (Lacey). His grandchildren Brandon, Lane, Nora and Carter brought so much joy to his life. He also leaves behind his 4-legged side kick, Jazzy, who is simply lost without him. He is also survived by sisters Betty (Norwood), and Diane, brothers Wade, Norman (Vivian), David, Vaughn, Wayne (Carmel) and Kenton.

He was pre-deceased by his mother and father, brother Douglas, brothers-in-law Kenneth Norwood, Wade Merry, Wilton Bolivar, Frank Smith, and James Baker. He was also predeceased by his mother and father-in-law, Charles and Nina Merry.

There was never a kinder, softer soul than Dad. He was simply our rock. He was our go to. He did everything and anything for us. We will miss him with every piece of our now broken hearts. Our lives will simply never be the same.

Cremation to take place under Corkum’s Funeral Home. No service as requested by Dad, as he always said, “I don’t want people standing around crying over me.”

“So I’m gonna sit right here on the edge of this pier, then watch the sunset disappear and drink a beer.”
