Douglas Raymond Janzing was born on October 24, 1968, to Ray and Charmaine (Grassel) Janzing in Huron, SD. He grew up on the family farm north of Artesian, SD. After graduating from Artesian High School in 1986, Doug went on to study business at Dakota State in Madison, SD and Dakota Wesleyan in Mitchell, SD. After college, Doug worked at Toshiba and helped on the family farm; he did work at some other businesses, but most recently, Doug was back working at Toshiba. He was happy to be back at Toshiba with some of the “previous crew” and meeting new people too. He loved working in the warehouse.

In 2005 Doug met Kim Andrews, they were married in 2006, and to this union, Maddie Jo was born on March 8, 2011. Maddie Jo was his whole world; he loved her fiercely.

Doug loved spending time with his family and friends, going on adventures with Maddie and attending her school activities, hunting, hanging out at the farm, playing games, the card game Euchre was a favorite, and he loved, loved, loved to play pranks on people!!

He is survived by his daughter Maddie Jo of Mitchell; former spouse, Kim of Mitchell; three sisters, Cindi Janzing (significant other Dennis Eckmann) of Huron, SD, Laurie (Ed) Grassel of Artesian, SD, and Debra (Jeff) Hunking of Sioux Falls, SD. He is also survived by his nephews and nieces: Ryan (Becky) Muck of Stickney, SD & their children, Kayden, Jaxson, and Brody; Nikki Muck (Kenneth Fenton) of Canova, SD & their daughter, Elizabeth; Chris (LeAnn) Grassel of Sioux Falls SD & their children, Griffin, Brynlee, Beckett, and Cooper; David (Melissa) Grassel of Artesian, SD & their children, Kinsley, Levi, and Allie; Jennifer (Jessie) Morgan of Sioux Falls, SD & their daughter Reese; Amanda Hunking of Mesa, AZ; and Trent Hunking of Sioux Falls, SD.

Doug was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, uncles, and aunts.

On behalf of Doug’s family, we would like to thank you all for the outpouring of love and support!

First condolences to Maddie, Kim, and all of Doug’s family and friends. We lost a good one. I grew up with Doug and we were best buds for many years. I can’t imagine a more caring dude. The first time Sue and I met we were partying with Doug and friends. Even though we moved away from Artesian many years ago, Doug was always the first to reach out to say hi on all the holidays and birthdays. Still can’t believe you’re gone and we will miss you so much. Good bye friend.

It is with sadness I send condolences to all of Doug’s many family members and friends. He was the “cute little brother” of my classmate Cindi at Artesian School, the husband of my Bible study friend, Kim, and the doting, proud dad of Maddie. He was a kind and tender reed who loved his family deeply. I picture him now resting in the arms of Jesus. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, as you process his passing, to receive God’s unfailing, perfect peace.

I worked with Doug many years ago, and always had fond memories of him. He recently came back to work at the company I work at, and we reconnected without missing a beat, but that was Doug. One of the most genuinely decent people I have ever met. He will be missed. God bless.
