JETT RHEAUME

SALISBURY — Though Jett reached out for a lifeline, the world couldn’t hold him tightly enough, and he took his own life after a long and weary battle with Mental health.

Jett Steven Edward Rheaume, born June 16, 2004, will forever leave a void in the hearts of the many who loved him. A son, brother, uncle, and friend, he is survived by his parents, Stacey and Ricky Rheaume; and his biological father, Dana Drown. Jett was the fifth of 10 children, a position that placed him right in the middle of a vibrant, bustling family. He was a protective and loving brother to his 9 siblings: Chelsea “Sissy” (Gabe) Hatch, Talon (Gabe) Drown, Maxx, his Irish twin Tate, Yankee, Avalon, Rowan, and Elsa and Nala Rheaume. He was a doting uncle to Buckley “Buckshot” and Raelynne “Stingray,” Adalyn and Emersyn. He was loved by many grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Jett attended Woodsville High School in Haverhill N.H., and graduated from MUHS in Middlebury Vt. An avid fisherman, he found peace in the patience of the catch and the beauty of the outdoors. If Jett wasn’t with his family, you might have caught him walking the 2.5 miles with his Kayak to Lake Dunmore.

A portion of Jett’s ashes will be released into Lake Dunmore, returning him to the places where he felt most at peace with a fishing pole in his hand.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Salisbury Fish Culture Station — through Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department in Jett’s memory

He is preceded in death by his papa, Randy Comes; his uncle, Josh Gallagar; and his loyal dog, Boe.

The family welcomes anyone to attend the celebration of life at the Middlebury American Legion Feb. 16, from 5-8 p.m. ◊
