Nikolaus K. Seitz, 83, passed away on June 6, 2026, in Miami, Florida. Born on August 27, 1942, in Weehawken, New Jersey, Nikolaus lived a life marked by dedication to his family, career, and community.

After earning an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, Nikolaus embarked on a successful career as a sales manager in the food industry.

Nikolaus proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1962 to 1968. Stationed in Bad Aibling, Germany during his military service, he exemplified commitment and discipline—qualities that would remain central throughout his life. Beyond his military contributions, Nikolaus was deeply devoted to serving his community and was recognized as someone who brought people together through his warmth and humor.

Throughout his life, Nikolaus resided in several places: Palisades Park, Little Silver, and Bayville in New Jersey, before eventually settling in Naples, Florida. In each of these locations, he left behind a legacy of leadership that will be remembered by all who knew him.

Physical fitness was another cornerstone of Nikolaus's life. He valued maintaining an active lifestyle and encouraged others to prioritize their well-being.

Nikolaus is survived by his beloved wife, Maria B. Seitz, and his cherished daughter, Nicole M. Seitz. He was predeceased by his brother, Eric P. Seitz.
