Jeffrey A. Seitz, 58, of Sioux Falls, passed away on Feb. 10, 2019, at Avera McKennan Hospital.

Funeral services were held Saturday, Feb. 16, at Bethany Lutheran Church in Howard. Burial followed at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Artesian. Lunch and fellowship were held prior to the services at the church.

Jeff was born Oct. 31, 1960, at the Madison Hospital in Madison to Keith and Bernice Seitz. Jeff was born with spinabifida, but this disability never stopped him or his family from leading an active, normal life. Once Jeff was at the age to go to school, he spent most of his time through his teenage years going to school at Children’s Home Society in Sioux Falls and graduated in 1978. After graduation, Jeff moved to Minneapolis, Minn. After suffering serious setbacks with infections that required him to be closer to family members to assist him more, he moved to Sioux Falls where he spent the rest of his life.

Jeff enjoyed rock concerts, collecting many items, and going to the flea market, comic book/trading card and coin shops. He was a supporter of the Roller Dollz, a women’s roller derby team in Sioux Falls. He loved attending the Bacon Fest, Jazz Fest and Rib Fest. He also enjoyed volunteering at the Butterfly House in Sioux Falls up through 2018. Jeff’s active life was halted on Jan. 23, 2019, when a serious health complication eventually took over and ended Jeff’s hard fought battle on Feb. 10.

Jeff is survived by his mother, Bernice Seitz of Artesian; his brother, Mark (Angela) Seitz of Artesian; his nieces; and numerous uncles and aunts.

He was preceded in death by his father, Keith Seitz; grandparents; and numerous uncles and aunts.
