Roy Schoon was born in a sod house in Parkston, South Dakota, on July 27, 1943, to John and Eleanor (Bitterman Thomsen) Schoon. He died Saturday, January 13, 2024, at the Our House Hospice in Slayton, MN after a year and a half long battle with lung disease. Roy graduated from Scotland High School, Scotland, SD in 1961. He then went on to the Springfield branch of the University of SD, graduating with a Mathematics degree in Secondary Education in 1965. After teaching for three years, he made a career decision to become a banker. During his banking years he also went on to receive his Graduate school of banking degree from the University of Wisconsin, in Madison. Roy’s banking career led him to work in many locations in South Dakota and Minnesota. He worked his way up the ladder from a “trainee” to ending his career as the Chief Executive Officer of all 16 United Prairie Banks in Minnesota. He retired from his CEO position, after 46 years of banking, on Dec. 31, 2006, but continued to be a director of the bank after retirement. Roy married Marjorie Herman on August 13, 1966, at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, in Tabor, SD. To this union, he was blessed with two children. A son, Brian, born in 1967 and a daughter, Jennifer, born in 1970. Together they lived in many locations as his banking career developed. They retired in Slayton, MN in a home they built near the country club so they could be close to grandchildren. Roy was a member of many professional and civic organizations throughout his career. Yet his most valued position of his life was that of “Grandpa”. He loved to rock in the rocking chair, take rides on the golf cart, dig holes in the yard, swing, and eat ice cream. He gifted the grandchildren new bikes for their birthdays and gave out as many hugs as possible. His favorite saying was… “Come give Grandpa a hug, I haven’t seen you for lots of days!” Roy enjoyed family, yard maintenance, assisting at harvest, golfing, hunting, bird watching, and traveling. His favorite destinations were Southwest Florida and the Black Hills of SD where he made yearly trips for over 50 years.
