Malcolm Max Selig

Malcolm M. Selig, 82, of Bonita Springs, Florida, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2025, at Naples Community Hospital. Malcolm was born on April 14, 1943, in Jamestown, North Dakota, the son of the late Max and Leona (née Brosz) Selig. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, a chapter of his life he held with great pride and humility. In 1994, Malcolm retired from a successful career as an engineer with Peter Kiewit and Sons. Upon his retirement, he and his wife Linda relocated to Bonita Springs in 2000, where they embraced the warmth and camaraderie of their new community. A man of many interests, Malcolm was an avid boater and a dedicated member of the Bonita Bay Marina. He served as commodore and enthusiastically designed and engineered, award winning floats for boat parades, bringing joy and spirit to his neighbors and fellow boating enthusiasts. He was also a passionate golfer, always eager for a day on the course. Many will fondly remember his signature margaritas and the annual Cinco de Mayo parties he and Linda hosted. After retirement, Malcolm discovered a love for reading and became an active member of a local book club, where he enjoyed thoughtful discussions and lasting friendships. He also joined a local bocce club and played an instrumental role in designing and building their courts—an enduring testament to his creativity and community spirit. Malcolm is survived by his devoted wife of 59 years, Linda (née Martinson) Selig of Bonita Springs; his two sons, Jeremy Selig of Naples, FL, and Jeffrey (Alyssa) Selig of Chicago, IL; his beloved grandchildren Coralyn, Coleman, and Madilyn; his sister Renee Selig of St. Louis, MO; sister-in-law Sonya Selig of Fort Collins, CO; brother-in-law James (Cheryl) Martinson of Mason City, IA; and nephews Ryan and Corey Martinson. He was preceded in death by his brother, Gene Selig. A private graveside service with military honors was held at Sarasota National Cemetery. A public celebration of Malcolm’s life will be held in the fall, with details to be announced, giving family and friends the opportunity to gather, share memories, and honor a life well lived.
