Justin Robert Sellers was born September 2, 1980, in Dickinson, ND, to Larry Sellers and Julie Dolajak Sellers Ternes. He attended Cathedral Grade School and graduated from St. Mary's Central High School in 1999. Justin held various jobs while he lived in Bismarck, including Bob's Photo, Cedric Theel, Prairie Knights, but his most interesting "job" was the 6 years he spent in Vegas "working" the Texas Hold-Em poker tables. Back in Bismarck, he thoroughly enjoyed his most recent job with Kuntz Trucking. Two words to describe Justin – big and large – had nothing to do with his size. He had a big, loving heart and his personality was larger than life in his ability to have fun and make others laugh. He had an infectious smile, easily made friends, and wasn't afraid to talk to anyone. He loved to tease and give people a bad time, and loved practical jokes. He loved to fish, grill outdoors, sit and visit around the campfire, play poker, and shoot pool, having recently joined a pool league with his brother. We are so proud of the way Justin, his brother, his cousins and his friends stepped up to the plate during the sandbagging and removal and was instrumental in helping his grandpa save his home during the summer flood. He is survived by his mother and step-father, Julie and Leo Ternes, his father, Larry Sellers, his brother and best friend, Eric Sellers, his grandmother, Anne Sellers, his grandfather, Bob Dolajak and friend Martha Seibel, his step-brothers, Gary Felicia Ternes, Leo Rebecca Ternes, Aaron Lisa Ternes, Dan Lisa-fiance' Ternes, his step-sisters Claudette Jamie Bosch, Bernadette Ternes, special family friend, Kathy Perkerewicz, his uncles and aunts, Bob Deb Dolajak, Al Virginia Dolajak, and Brenda Dolajak, and his cousins, Jessie, Chris Alli, Lance Lisa, Lee Kim, Lynne, Liz, Josh Sam, Eli, and Isaiah Dolajak, Lindsey Bert Frishman, Lisa Wade Pulkrabek, Lori Bobbie Ball, and Miranda Richie Klatt, his truest friend, Doug Shipman, his poker mom and dad, Brian and Yvonne Day, and many other great friends. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Paulina Dolajak, his grandfather, Larry Sellers, Sr., and his uncle, Vern Dolajak. In lieu of flowers memorials may be given to a charity of the donor's choice.
