Dear Craig,
Even though we didn't always agree about everything, I always loved you, and I wish that you were here so I could tell you so. Thank you for all the fond memories. Thank you for your endless generosity. Most of all, thank you for your sons--my wonderful nephews. I'll do my best to help take care of them in your stead. I am blessed to have known you, Craig. I will truly miss you.
To my sister, Marcy,
You have never failed to assist me in my need. Now, I will do anything in my power to aid you. I love you and I am deeply sorry for your great loss...

Marci and Family,
I just learned today of Craig's passing. I wish I had learned before yesterday's services. I am so very sorry for your loss. Craig and I were mission companions in Eagle River, Alaska. He was always a very kind, non-judgmental man. I always wished I could have been like him in that manner. I am praying for your comfort at this difficult and devastating time.

I am so very sorry. Craig was and I not only had a great business relationship but he was a great friend as well. I was always amazed by his many accomplishments and his work ethic,He was truley a man of all trades.
Craig loved his wife and children more than anything in the world, I know this because he would tell me nearly every Wednesday how lucky he was to have Marcy and the boy's when we would go to lunch together. One his famous quote's were "Someone up there must really like me" he was right.
Craig was not only a great customer but a great friend. For me Wedneday's will never be the same.

Marcy,and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Craig for many years.when we worked together installing pool tables we spent a lot of time talking, working and having fun.When he opened his shop I was very happy for him and myself it's hard to find someone you can trust to work on your car, he always treated me like a king.I will always consider him a good friend. I regret we didn't adjust our busy work schedules so we could spend some quality social time together, we always talked about it, I am sorry we didn't do it. This is a reminder for me don't put things off, you never know what tomorrow will bring.I will miss Craig, I wish you the best and may God bless and comfort you at this time. If I can help in any way let me know.Brad

To Marcy and children,
My heart feels sick for your loss. Craig certainly was and is a special spirit. I am blessed to have known of his goodness and how he treated us as customers. He really loved his family as he told us several stories about them and how lucky and blessed he was to have them. His mission of love will continue on, because he was so special while he was here. What a legacy to have left four beautiful boys to continue in his sted. He really loved the gospel and knew it well. Until we meet again, God be with you and bless you with His love and comfort.

Marcy and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. When we first moved here Craig always made us feel welcome! One of my fun memories of Craig is our first pinewood derby, he not only was a great mechanic in real life, but he knew how to build a pinewood derby car and when Scott was not able to help with Davis's, Craig stepped in to help me (who knew nothing about a pinewood derby car). I think we took first place that year! The two of you had always invited us to go out dancing, I feel bad we never made it! Marcy, you and Craig have raised your boys to care and be great examples to others and I love all of them! Marcy, Jessie, Wesley, Alex and Sam......if there is anything we can do to help you through this please do not hesitate to call us. We love you all! Love the Young's Scott, Justeen, Breanna, Davis and Christian.

Craig "Chewy" Jewett is my friend. I've known him for about 21 years. He served his mission in Alaska. He was one of the first missionaries that my grandmother "adopted" and was integral in bringing my Aunt Lynda and my grandmother (and me as well) into the LDS church. He wasn't your average run of the mill missionary.
He worked on the fleet of vehicles that the missionaries used. He taught with heart, passion, humor and sensitivity. He took a preteen girl,me, with him as a chaperone when he and his companions wanted to go fishing, or hiking, or exploring glaciers or other things on their P-days. This so that I could learn more, that I could remember what fun could be like.
He did more than "preach the gospel", I believe he taught it through his actions. He served my grandmother and made sure that those that followed after him knew to take care of "Mom Campbell". He was always in service to the people of our neighborhood, his fellow missionaries, everyone.
As I sit here I can see him sitting in my grandmother's house with that big ol' smile on his face, with his cute cheeks and hear his voice saying "Awww, Mom..." in that way that he would when she was getting after him about something. I can feel him messing up my "perfect hair" and getting so irritated with him and thinking that's what having a brother would have been like.
I remember being at his house with my (then) husband Dan and him showing off so proudly his Star Wars Room with all his memorabilia and sealed toys, and all that (which Dan, a fellow Star Wars buff appreciated more than I). I can feel his arms hugging me during the time I was getting divorced and hear him telling me that I was strong, that I could do this, that he & Marcy would help me any way they could. He would often tell me over the years about his great love for Marcy, how perfect she was for him, about how much joy she brought to his life.
I remember how many times this last year I've thought about inviting Chewey, Marcy and the boys over for dinner or barbecue or something and how I never did. He was so welcoming to my longtime boyfriend and had a way of getting people to open up to him, to trust him, to enjoy his company. He got after me all the time to call him, to stop by, and I only ever did when Lynda was in town or when I needed something. I can only hope now that he knew of my great love and admiration for him.
After Lynda got married he kept telling me one of these days he and I would fly up for a day trip to Seattle to take Lynda and Marc out to dinner. We never did, and to tell you the truth the thought scared me just a little. I never did feel comfortable in small planes, though my trust in him would have got me in that plane in a heartbeat. He was so excited to have his pilot's license. I can still see his face when he was telling me about the first lesson he was going to be going on, and his face when he was telling Jim and I about the trips to Vegas he and Marcy were going on to go dancing. He was so excited! He was so thrilled to fly! He inspired me often to trust myself, to pursue my passions in life, to serve others.
He is one of the most genuine people I've ever met. His smile is one of the most radiant to ever grace the earth. My life is better because he was in it and I know this to be true of many, many others as well. Thank you Marcy, Jesse, Wesley, Alex, Samuel & the entire Jewett family for sharing him with me. He loved fiercely and shall be missed fiercely.
My love and wishes for peace and healing go out to all of the Jewett family.

Craig and Nancy
I am not in your shoes to know how you are feeling at this time but I have an idea.
Craig and my son B.J.were good friends growing up and I'm sure spent many good times together.
As you know my son was also taken from me by a plane crash christmas eve 1980.
I have also lost another son and both are buried in centerville cemetery.
They were good friends in life and now they will be good friends in death.
My heart goes out to you.
Always talk about craig.The things he loved to do and the funny things about him and the hole in your hearts will be mended a little bit but never really healed.
God bless you both.

Craig Sr., Nancy, Marcy, Jesse, Wesley, Alex and Samuel:
Words alone cannot express what I am feeling in my heart. I could hardly believe the news about Craig's untimely death. I can't imagine the pain and suffering that you are experiencing right now. As a former employee of Craig's, I can honestly say that he will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him. He truly did have a way of connecting with others. His customers were always treated like they were family. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your entire family. Craig left behind a great legacy. The knowledge of the gospel and relying on the Lord and your family will help you throughout your lives. God bless you always.

Kim Cook,
Words cannot express how much I feel for you right now. My husband lost his brother in an accident in 2002. He was only 24 years old. I was 7 months pregnant with my 3rd child at the time. We always imagined my husbands brother playing with our daughter in heaven before she came to our home. I know what you are going through and I pray for you. I know Heavenly Father will help you through the hard days ahead. Know that I am thinking of you.

To Craig's family,
Craig was the kind of person that you instanty felt a connection to.I met Craig one night as I was eating dinner with my family, we saw each other and carried on a conversation like we had known each other for years. It was my priviledge to help him a few times with car questions as we shared the same profession. He wasn't afraid to admit that there werre some repairs he wasn't sure about, and he asked questions because he cared so much about his customers. There was never a time when I spoke to Craig that I didn't feel better for just having a conversation with him. He makes me want to be a better person, and I will always have great memories of him. I remember the day I told him that I was a convert to the church and he just hugged me like I was a member of his family, and I guess I am. I know that Craig knew the gospel is true by the way he lived his life. If only more of us could live the way that Craig did! Can you just imagine that right now he is already finding people to serve and help?
My love and best wishes to Marcy and his boys.(I don't know them personally,but I know if they are anything like Craig, they are spectacular people)

Our hearts and prayers go out to you. I have always admired the love you and Craig have for each other. Craig is a wonderful and generous person, who will be missed (but not forgotten) by all. Marcy, you were so considerate and caring, when my husband passed away, please know I am here for you now. If nothing else, to help you cry. Craig will be with you, and the boy's, always. May the good Lord give you the peace and comfort required to sustain you always.
This I know for sure, we will be with them again.

Craig was a great friend, and and incredible person. I always had a great time whenever we would fly. It was a great honor to be able to share my passion for flying with him. He was always smiling, full-of-life, and willing to give to those around him. I pray that our Father in Heaven's spirit may be with your family during this difficult time.

Dear Marcy and boys, I am so very sorry for your loss! Craig has recently done so much for me and my two boys by going the extra mile while working on my car! I had planned to tell him this week that he was our "hero" for all of his efforts to help us. He will greatly be missed! I sincerely wish you all the best!!

I was saddened to learn today of Craig's passing. Craig was my mission companion in Wasilla, Alaska. We had great success together. Some of my happiest mission memories are from the time I served with him. Elder Jewett had a special ability to connect with people of all kinds through his many talents. Please accept my deepest condolences.
