JANTZI, Simeon Jacob of Waterloo – It is with sadness that we share the news of Simeon's passing at the age of 80 on the morning of Friday, February 10, 2023, at Columbia Forest Long Term Care in Waterloo, where he lived for the past year. Simeon bravely faced health challenges after his cancer diagnosis several years ago. His passing was due to cardiac arrest caused by a heart attack with cancer being a contributing factor. Much loved son of the late Simeon W. and the late Mary Ann (Roth) Jantzi. Brother of Ruth Leis, Louise and her husband Ralph Gingerich, Bill Jantzi, Maryann and her husband Ralph Steckley. Predeceased by: brothers John (in infancy), Wesley Jantzi and his partner Margo as well as his former wife Gail, Ken Jantzi and his wife Marjorie, brother-in-law Allen Leis and sister-in-law Lucille Jantzi. Simeon was part of a large extended family and will be remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends. Born on May 30, 1942 outside of Linwood on the family farm, Simeon continued to live there for many years prior to moving to Waterloo, Wellesley and then spending his final year at Columbia Forest Long Term Care in Waterloo. He was a carpenter by trade, specializing in framing, and enjoyed helping family and friends with small carpentry projects. For many years, he provided support and care to his widowed mother. His faith was strong, and he loved spending time discussing and researching family genealogy. We would like to express our thanks to the team of caregivers at Columbia Forest Long Term Care for their assistance provided to Simeon. A visitation will take place on Sunday, February 19th from 2 to 5 p.m. at Futher-Franklin Funeral Home, 1172 Henry Street, Wellesley. A spring interment will take place at Rushes Cemetery. Pastor Larry Cockshutt officiating. Thank you to Futher-Franklin Funeral Home in Wellesley for their compassionate support during this difficult time. As an expression of sympathy, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
