Jamey was born May 30, 1967 in Yankton, South Dakota to Larry and Barbara (Jensen) Wuestewald. He grew up in Yankton where he attended high school. Jamey was a jack of all trades and a great handyman. He operated a scrapyard at his house and loved working on cars and small engines. Jamey never bought anything new and loved fixing up old things.
