Jarad was born November 25, 1977, at Bismarck, to Kerry and Renae (Guthmiller) Dewey. He was raised and educated in Bismarck. He worked as a carpenter and handyman. Jarad enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, and animals, especially his dog, Shadow. He was outgoing, loving, kind, and always ready to help others. Jarad was very gifted in the arts and crafts area. He made beautiful diamond willow walking sticks, enjoyed leather tooling and was a very good artist. His talent seemed to be unlimited, but his best was to help those that needed it and without question. Jarad's motto was: live through the years not by the years. He loved all his family and friends but had a special place in his heart for his Uncle Tank and Bob.
