MICHAEL'S OBITUARY

Michael J. “Mike” Majeres, 47, of Brandon, SD, died May 26, 2022 of natural causes while hunting in New Zealand. A funeral service at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Sioux Falls on June 13th at 1030 am.  A wake will be held on June 12th at 3pm George Boom in Sioux Falls. 

Michael Jon Majeres, son of Jack Majeres and Alice (Mergen) Majeres, was born August 27, 1974 in Dell Rapids, SD. He graduated from Saint Mary High School there and went on to become a Jackrabbit at South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD where he received a Bachelor's degree in speech communication. Not to be partial, he became a Coyote and received his Master's in Speech Therapy from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. Mike currently worked for the Lennox (SD) School District as a speech therapist.

Mike was only on this earth for 47 years but he created memories that will last a lifetime. Angie met him while both were doing clinicals at the hospital. Angie was instantly attracted to Mike’s larger than life personality and how he genuinely cared for all of those around him. Angie had met her soulmate and the two were united in marriage on September 3, 2005 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Dell Rapids. Mike and Angie had the type of marriage that was likely the envy of many. They traveled, camped, hiked, golfed, and fished together. Best friends had married each other.

Mike and Angie were blessed with their son, John, after 10 years of marriage. Mike and John were inseparable from the beginning.  There were so many things that Mike had already taught John, and if you spent any time talking with John, you would often hear him say, “My daddy taught me that or that’s how my daddy does it.” They had many adventures together including mushroom hunting, golfing, riding 4-wheelers, driving the golf cart and wrestling. Everyone knew Mike was an avid hunter and fisherman.  He shared his passion for fishing with John and had him on the lake fishing before he was even old enough to walk.  Although Mike caught many kinds of fish, his favorite catch was always a bass.  He enjoyed the challenge of them fighting back while he was reeling them in.  John only had five years with his dad, but in that amount of time, Mike had already helped shape the sweet boy who is most certainly going to grow up to be just like his dad.

Mike had many talents and always had a project going on at home. He most recently finished a beautiful bar in the lower level of their home. He was always willing to help his parents, even though he always joked that his dad, Jack, always picked the hottest day of the year to bale hay. Mike loved working beside him. Mike also had the same charming sense of humor and most loving and easy-going personality that his mom, Alice, has. He loved hunting with his father-in-law, Dan, and was his mother-in-law, Bonnie’s, IT tech serviceman.   Mike had a deep love for God and was happy to volunteer his time teaching religious education.

Lastly, you can’t talk about Mike without talking about fun. He would walk into any room and it would light up. He was truly the life of the party. His easy-going personality and clever wit made everyone comfortable. Grilling and smoking meats was his specialty along with being one of the original creators of the midnight nachos for the Mergen family reunions.  Life will never be the same without him, but he will always be with us knowing he is looking down from heaven upon us. God bless his memory.

Survivors include his wife Angie and their son John, Brandon, SD; his parents, Jack and Alice Majeres, Dell Rapids, SD; siblings, Eric (Michelle) Majeres, Sioux Falls, SD, Jessica (Nick) Meyers, Dell Rapids, SD, Amy (Jesse) Bailey, Yankton, SD; father and mother-in-law, Dan and Bonnie Sehr, Canton, SD; Angie’s siblings, Heather (Jason) Reiff, Dell Rapids, SD, Trevor (Kara) Sehr, Surprise, AZ, Desiree (Tyler) Steffan, Helena, MT; and many other relatives and friends.

If considering a memorial, an education fund for Mike and Angie’s son, John, has been established.
