Randall Keith Jewett of Sheridan, Arkansas was born October 27, 1982 at Malvern, the son of Randy and Karen Bryant Jewett. Randall was more than a person, Randall was an "experience". He was first and foremost, the proudest "daddy" that ever lived. He was sure that he had the smartest, best looking kids, that there are. If Randall was your friend, he was your friend for life. He was loyal, devoted and had a heart and personality to match his size. He had a special place in his heart for "underdogs", and he dedicated his life, both personally and professionally, to making everyone in his world, feel like they mattered. Randall never passed up an opportunity to play in the mud with his Jeep and he liked to spend time outdoors hunting and fishing as well. He was a huge Razorback fan and he'll be calling the Hogs in Heaven. Randall never let his physical issues limit him in any way, and he was an inspiration to everyone who knew him, with his positive outlook and his "never quit" and "keep on keepin' on" personality. He was the Staff Supervisor at Sheridan Detention Center and will be sorely missed by so many.
