Due to the current medical concerns, the family is not able to provide services for friends and family. They will proceed with services and memorial reception at a later date, to be announced by invitation.

Brad was born in Regent, North Dakota to John and Jackie Dewit on February 13th, 1957. Brad attended several elementary schools including Oak View School for his 8th grade year, where he met his future wife. Shelley and Brad were married on October 21st, 1978 in Stockton, CA. Brad was a Dairyman farmer his entire life. He started working for his father at the family dairy on 6610 E. Collier Rd, Acampo, CA. He loved his cows and was happiest at the dairy.

The family grew with a total of five children. Dairy life was hard at times and at others, a rolling comedy. With the family’s involvement, the dairy continued to improve and expand through the years. Son, David, also shares the love of cows and his younger brother Eric enjoys farming. Brad was happy and grateful the dairy would continue for another generation.

Brad is preceded in death by his Father, John De Wit and his Mother, Jackie Dewit, in addition to his Aunt, Annie Jacobs, Sister in Law, Karen Grenz and various other relatives.

Brad is survived by his wife, Shelley Dewit, of 41+ years and children, David, Matthew, Eric, Jill, Ethan along with his grandchildren Ella, Caroline and Case Dewit. He is also survived by his sisters, Marcia, Bernice, Nancy, Tricia and Janel.

Memorials may be given to the Nature Conservancy.

The family of Brad Dewit wishes to extend our sincere thanks to our wonderful friends and family in and around the community, along with our agricultural colleagues with their unending support.
