An Atlantan for his 82 years, Kenneth “Kenny” Joel Seitz will be greatly missed. Born on May 21, 1942, Kenny was the middle son of Joe and Inez Seitz and attended Morningside Elementary and Grady Memorial High School before studying at the University of Georgia as a proud member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.
After graduation, he briefly worked in New York before moving back to Atlanta. He married Betty Fern Copeland from Birmingham in 1967. They had two sons: Barry Seitz, of blessed memory, and Brian Seitz, 51, of Atlanta, Ga. Kenny treated Brian’s wife, Tracy, as his own daughter and loved their two children and his only grandchildren — Barri, 20, and Davis, 17 — immensely.
Kenny had a wonderful life full of family and friends. He loved golfing, playing cards, and fly fishing; he especially loved to do these things in his favorite place of Longboat Key, Fla. Kenny leaves behind a lasting legacy of success in business, relationships, and philanthropy.
Kenny is survived by his wife, Betty, of 57 years; his son, Brian, and daughter-in-law, Tracy Seitz (Neil and Patty Kaplowitz); and his beloved grandchildren, Barri and Davis Seitz. He is also survived by his older brother, Terry Seitz, of Houston, Texas, and younger brother, Ronnie Seitz, of Atlanta, Georgia.
