Shane Sejnoha, son of Marlin and Karel (Schryvers) Sejnoha, was born on October 28, 1969, in Armour, SD. He was raised in Lake Andes until the age of 16 when he moved to Sioux Falls, SD. Shane attended O’Gorman High School, where he met his high school sweetheart, Jane Billion and worked at his family’s restaurant, Marlin’s. After graduating, Shane attended the University of Mary where he wrestled and played football. Shane then transferred to the University of Sioux Falls, and had the privilege of playing football alongside his younger brother Dustin before graduating with a degree in Business and Restaurant Management.
Shane was united in marriage with Jane Billion on October 4, 1996, at St. Joseph Cathedral of Sioux Falls. They were blessed with three children, Suzanna, Vincent, and Henry. Shane, along with his siblings, expanded their family restaurants into a nationwide provider of food service to correctional facilities (CBM Managed Services). After the company was sold to Summit Food Service in 2017, Shane remained on as National Vice President of Operations until present.
A gentle giant with a kind heart, Shane was generous and outgoing. He was a proud and loving father who enjoyed spending his time hunting and fishing. He fondly spoke of his trips to Alaska with family, the annual fly fishing trip to the Black Hills, and traveling with his wife and children.
Grateful for having shared his life are his wife of 25 years, Jane, Sioux Falls, SD; children Suzanna, Vincent, and Henry, Sioux Falls, SD; his mother Karel Sejnoha, Sioux Falls, SD; siblings Marlin Jr. Sejnoha, Brandon, SD; Stephanie (David) Richter, Sioux Falls, SD; Valerie (Jason) Headlee, Harrisburg, SD; Dustin (Nikki) Sejnoha, Sioux Falls, SD; Amber (Patrick) Garry, Hartford, SD; and many other relatives and friends.
Shane was preceded in death by his father Marlin Sr. and nephew Joseph Viereck.
