Biography

Harold Roy Engelhardt of Sebewaing, age 92, went to be with his Heavenly Father on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, while at Scheurer Hospital. He was born April 28, 1934, the son of the late Herman and Hilda (Haske) Engelhardt. His life began on the family farm where both his father and grandfather were born and raised. He graduated from Sebewaing High School with the Class of 1952 and was a proud member of the Sebewaing High FFA. In 1975, Harold married the love of his life, Eunice Ostic, at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Sebewaing. The couple spent forty-four blissful years together until Eunice’s passing on November 26, 2019. Harold was proud of the family farm and enjoyed being able to carry on the family tradition. His entire life revolved around the Lord, the crop, and his family. He spent countless hours tending his garden, camping with his grandchildren, and preserving the 170-year legacy of the family farm. Whether sharing stories about his tractors or recounting the many experiences the farm had endured over the years, Harold loved passing down these memories and lessons to his children, grandchildren, and all who wanted to hear his stories. For many years, when winter arrived, he traded the tractor seat for a job at the Michigan Sugar factory in Sebewaing, where he worked until it was time to return to the farm each spring. He was notorious for being able to locate good coffee, free popcorn, and find great conversations along the way. He was strong in his faith and attended church regularly until he wasn’t able and even then, still listened to the service each week on the radio. Those who knew him will remember him for his gentle spirit, his patience, and above all else, the selfless care he provided for his family. He will be missed by many, including his lifelong friends, Harley Birsching and Vic Engelhardt.
