Seymour Shadlesky, a beloved brother, uncle, and cherished member of the Toronto community, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026, at the age of 91. Born on May 25, 1934, in Toronto, Seymour lived a life rich in love, kindness, and unwavering dedication to his family and community.
Seymour was the loving brother of the late Rivkah and Philip (Fishy), and he is survived by his devoted sisters, Laura Greenberg and Rose Rosenbaum, along with his sister-in-law, Sandy Shadlesky. His family was his pride and joy, and he took great delight in being an uncle to many. Seymour’s warmth and generosity left an indelible mark on the lives of his nieces and nephews, who will forever remember him as a guiding light, a source of wisdom, and a wellspring of unconditional love.
A man of deep faith, Seymour was an active member of the Beth Radom congregation, where he found joy in leading services and blowing the shofar. His soulful notes resonated within the walls of the shul, bringing comfort and inspiration to all who heard them. Seymour’s commitment to his faith was evident in every aspect of his life, and he inspired others to embrace their spirituality with the same fervor he did.
Beyond his devotion to family and faith, Seymour was a pillar of the community. A passionate philanthropist, he dedicated his time and resources to numerous hospitals and charities, believing in the power of giving back. His contributions touched countless lives, and his legacy of kindness and generosity will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Seymour’s life was a testament to the values of compassion, integrity, and community service. He had an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life, and his infectious smile could light up any room. Whether he was sharing a story, lending a helping hand, or simply offering a listening ear, Seymour made everyone feel valued and loved.
As we gather to honor his memory, we invite family and friends to join us for his funeral service on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Steeles Memorial Chapel at 10 AM. Following the service, Seymour will be laid to rest at Mount Sinai Memorial Park, where he will find eternal peace. A l’chaim and seudah will follow at the home of Missy and Mark, located at 132 Bannockburn Avenue in Toronto, where we will come together to celebrate the remarkable life of a truly extraordinary man.
Seymour Shadlesky’s spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him. His legacy of love, faith, and community service will continue to inspire future generations. May his memory be a blessing, and may he rest in peace.
