Shane Grondahl, 63, Minot, died Saturday, February 20, 2021 in his home surrounded by his loving family after a very short battle with cancer.

Shane was born April 30, 1957 in Minot, ND to Eugene 'Bud' and Joann (Johnson) Grondahl. He grew up and attended school in Upham, graduating from Upham High School in 1975.  He attended the ND State College of Science in Wahpeton.

Shane was united in marriage to Leanne Laskowski on September 14, 1991 in Minot.  They made their home in Minot and last year they were able to enjoy the snowbird life for a short time before Nevada shut down for Covid.

In Minot Shane was employed at Chateau Lanes, G & M Lumber, Bridgeman Creamery and Magic City Garage Door.  In 1997 Shane started working for IF LaFleur & Sons. He enjoyed his work as the League Coordinator and it showed in the relationships he built and valued during his employment.  Shane retired on April 28, 2017 due to health concerns.

Shane was a member of the Minot Moose Lodge and was a past president of the Apple Grove Couples Golf League. He was a  volunteer for the Trinity Stroke Survivor to Survivor support program.

He played recreation softball for many years on competitive teams in Upham, Washburn and Minot. Shane enjoyed playing golf, basketball, darts, pool, Texas Hold'em Poker and played in many leagues for all of those. He loved to travel, especially to Las Vegas and Laughlin. Shane will be missed for his easy smile, sense of humor, quick wit and compassion for others. And you never had to guess what his political views were.

Shane is survived by his wife Leanne, Minot; siblings Kevin Grondahl, Corrine Grondahl and Wade Grondahl; sisters-in-law Kathy (Karl) Kirstein, Karin (Randy) Clark and Lorna (Nick) Roll; nieces and nephews Eric Grondahl, Jennifer (Kwang) Lee, Jared (Norma) Grondahl, Tyler Grondahl, Kyle (Stephanie) Grondahl, Chaise Grondahl, Becca Grondahl, Chad Kirstein, Daniel (Jessica) Schiele, Jamie Haskins, Ryan (Jessica) Clark, Jess Roll, Teri Roll and Alex (Kelsey) Roll; great nieces and nephews, uncles and aunts and many cousins; step-mother Sharon Grondahl; step-brother Kevin Miller; step-sisters Tammy Adams, Julie Hall, Lori LaHaise and Susan Millang; and many lifelong friends.
