John was born October 10, 1945 to John and Rose (Salwei) Jund
in Zeeland, ND. He moved with his family to Mobridge in 1960
graduating from Mobridge High School in 1963.
In April of 1964 he started working for the State of South Dakota

On January 29, 1966 John was united in marriage to Carla Schlomer,
to this union two children were born: John Wayne and Lori. He
was a member of the South Dakota National Guards retiring in 1985.
Since his retirement he spent his time doing the things he loved
the most: hunting, gardening and spending time with his grandkids.
He always planted a garden large enough to feed a small community.
John spent many hours weeding and watering and he took great
pride in hand delivering his goods to anyone who would enjoy
them.
Hunting has always been a very important part of his life and
something he spent a great deal of his time doing. He also
greatly enjoyed his years of guiding at the Snake Den Lodge.
It allowed him to make lasting friendships while spending
time doing what he loved most. He loved time with his grandkids
whether it was mowing, playing dominoes or just watching them
in the back yard.
He is survived by his wife Carla, Pierre; children: John Wayne,
