Jerreth Jaymz Shawl, 31, of Wolf Point died Jan. 1, 2026. He was born Dec. 26, 1994. He was a kind, loving person, full of good humor and good medicine. He showed his love through his actions, actively showing up for his family, friends and community. He was a social genius, knowing what to say, when to give a hug and how to make you laugh. Growing up, he wandered around Wolf Point with cousins, raising cane at the parks or basketball courts until the street lights came on. He wandered through town with a bag of seeds, fountain sodas from Cenex, a basketball and music with his cousins. He came into the Sundance circle when he was 12 and was active until his mother died in 2020. He went to Wolf Point High School until his junior year when he transferred to Poplar, before coming back to Wolf Point and graduating in 2013. He played sports recreationally — basketball, softball and volleyball. He was a part of the 2011 Class B Wolf Point Wolves basketball championship team. He played volleyball in the open gym leagues in Poplar and Wolf Point. He played in Big Sky State Games in Billings where he was able to score a few medals. He became a volleyball MOA this past year and helped serve surrounding communities through officiating volleyball. After high school, he worked with the tribe's Head Start program. He started as an assistant cook for two months before moving into the classroom, where he worked for seven years as a teachers’ aide and then was trusted to step into the role of lead teacher when needed. He served roughly 130 children in the Wolf Point community over seven years before working in the admin office as the family service coordinator for Wolf Point and Frazer where he continued to work with area families and advocate for their children. In his off-time, he would play board games with family and/or playing Fortnite online. He was a proud supporter of his nieces and nephews, following them in sports and getting rowdy with the refs when he had to put his “uncle” hat on. He also loved to read and build Lego sets. He was a big fan of Harry Potter lore and always let people know his house was Ravenclaw. He loved pro basketball and followed the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. He also cheered on the Denver Broncos and made sure everyone knew his favorite college team, Go Griz! He loved to travel and mark stuff and places off his bucket lists. He is survived by his grandfather, Donald “Duck” Shawl of Wolf Point; mother, Carrie Shawl of Frazer; father figure, Justin (Marcy) Doney of Havre; and siblings, Jazmyn, Tazz, Charles and Russell Doney, all of Havre, Mahala Shawl of Simi Valley, Calif., Journey Stiffarm of Wolf Point, Jaymee and Arlene Riley of New Mexico, Ebony Lindsay of San Diego, Calif., Chante’ Japp of Wolf Point, Patsy Ricker of Great Falls and Shannon Lindsay of San Diego, Calif.
