Vernon Selig, 57, of Rapid City, SD, passed away on August 26, 2025.

Born on April 24, 1968, in Sheridan, WY, Vernon lived a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to family. He and his wife, Trish, shared 35 wonderful years of marriage, building a home where kindness, guidance, and unwavering support were always present.

Vernon was known for his love of the Black Hills in which finding new hiking trails, taking long drives, and trying every new restaurant brought him great joy. He loved the yearly family trips abroad, and one of the highlights of his life was visiting 17 European countries with his wife and kids. He beamed with pride watching his son, Nick expertly play the guitar and was awestruck by his daughter, Gina’s musical talent on the piano- writing, producing, and singing her original songs. Vernon passionately loved his teacup Yorkie named Mo, and hanging out with friends at Strive Fitness was the highlight of his day. His warmth and generosity touched everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Trish, his daughter Gina of Washington, DC, his son, Nick and daughter-in-law, Anna of Rapid City, his sister-in-law, Shana Baldwin of Spearfish, his brother, Vince of Granite Falls, North Carolina, and his sister, Jessi Hegy of Sheridan, WY. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernie and Garna of Sheridan, WY.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the Humane Society of the Black Hills.

Vernon will be deeply missed, but his love and spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
