Myron Lee Jallo, age 82, passed away peacefully on February 28, 2023 at Monument Health Hospital in Rapid City, South Dakota.

He was born February 4, 1941 near Fordville, North Dakota to Clifford and Hannah (Hansen) Jallo. Myron was educated in rural Walsh County and graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1962 with a degree in math and physics.

In 1963, he married Mary Ann Balek. They would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this July 15 ^th . They had two children, Marilee and David. Myron was the most supportive father, grandfather, and great grandfather. You could always hear him brag about the best "half dozen" grandchildren anyone could ask for, he was their biggest fan! Showing classic cars was great fun for Myron and Mary Ann, they often won 'Best of Show' trophies. His trophies were never more important than the ones his grandkids won. Most recently, returning to help on the family farm brought him incredible joy. He loved his family well; it was obvious to those who knew him.
