Family and friends we welcome you to follow. Afterwards he will be taken to Sioux Falls, SD for cremation. When he returns, he will get his cookout we had planned for him.

Jaramy was born on March 15, 1991 to Lenora (Stuart) Langdeau and Frank (Wanda) Gourneau at the Northern Hills General Hospital in Deadwood, SD. His mom's "one and only". Jaramy made his journey on May 21, 2023 at the Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD at 6:37 am. One of his last wishes was to be an organ donor. He became a hero with his gifts of life by saving a 66 yr. old female with his left kidney and a 63 yr. old male with his right kidney.

Jaramy was the BABY of the family with three older sisters: Sharonna LeCompte (LaSalle Brown), Shavonne LeCompte, Stephanie (Gourneau) Jones (Tyler Jones). He also had two younger sisters: Merisa Jandreau and Amy Loudner. Sharonna was also a mother to him. Jaramy's kids: Jaramy Jr., Jazzmyne, Brookelynn, and Trezure. Jaramy lived his life a free and wild spirit. He could not be tamed. He was a hellraiser and that he did very well. He had the broken bones to prove it. You probably heard a story about him or were a part of it. He had the ability to make you laugh 'til you cried or 'til your stomach hurt so bad you couldn't laugh anymore. He was always teasing and crackin jokes. His laugh was contagious. When his sisters needed him, he was always there. He took care of them like a big brother. He was all the kids' favorite uncle. He was the best uncle. He loved fishing, something he enjoyed doing with his Grandpa Steve. He also loved the outdoors and nature. He would dink around with things like carpentry, roofing, mechanics, etc… and was good at it, it came natural to him. He'd be bumpin Rapstar by Polo G on that cruise.

Jaramy Sr., was reunited on the other side with his Grandpa Steve, Grandma Lorraine, cousins Adrian and Anthony Gourneau, Great-Grandma Ruby Blaine, cousin Kira Fonder.
