Craig Jay Dewald, 65, of Streeter, North Dakota, died suddenly on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at the Wishek Community Hospital, Wishek, ND.

Craig was born October 29, 1959, at Jamestown, ND, to Bennie and Sally (Devereaux) Dewald of Streeter. Craig graduated from Streeter High School in 1977 and went to work on the family farm that was established in 1913 with his father. Craig’s passion was the farm. He was a 3rd generation farmer who worked alongside his father and then his son. In addition to grain farming Craig and his son worked side by side hauling gravel, doing dirt work, building roads, snow removal in Fargo, and helping friends when needed. He also served on the township board for many years and on the local elevator board.

Craig loved a number of things, but family was always his first love. He loved doting on Beckett and Bristol and especially taking them for rides on his side-by-side. Craig loved his rides on the side-by-side and his "bag of beer" he took with him checking crops. He usually returned with an empty bag and a big smile.

Craig had one son, Justin. Craig met Mary Jane Henley 27 years ago and they were inseparable for those many years and she was with him to the very end.

Surviving are one son, Justin (Jessica) Dewald and Craig’s life-long partner, Mary Jane Henley; his grandchildren, Beckett and Bristol Dewald; sister, Judy (Virgil) Horst; and brother-in-law, Tim Dewald.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bennie and Sally, and sisters, Joleen and Sandi Dewald.
