12/25/2018 - Dwight Eugene Garnhart

At his request, no services will be held for Dwight Eugene Garnhart, age 72, of Chadron, NE.
 
A memorial has been established for the Chadron Senior Center. Donations may be sent to Chamberlain Chapel, PO Box 970, Chadron, NE 69337.
 
Dwight went into the arms of Jesus on December 15, 2018 at 2:00 AM at Pioneer Manor Nursing Home in Hay Springs, NE. He was born in Rocky Ford, CO on February 8, 1946. Dwight had a huge heart and took excellent care of his Special Companion of 11 years. He enjoyed their "Dinner and a Movie" evenings so much they turned into regular evenings. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, day trips, cribbage, and going to the Senior Center for dinners. 
 
Dwight loved his John Wayne movies and reading Louis L’Amour books. He loved his little Bichon Frise and took him everywhere with him.
 
Dwight is survived by Special Companion Frederika "Fredi" Sommerville and became family to her sons Jason/Tracy Sommerville and Shaun Sommerville/Melissa Lein, all of Chadron, NE, and Thomas "Danny"/Kyla Case of Wichita, KS; her care provider Renee Nixon and her son Ryder Nixon of Chadron, NE; sister Helen/Gene Gee of Oberlin, KS; niece Beverly/Robert Keys of Topeka, KS; nephew Kenny Gee of Oberlin, KS; niece Colleen Evans of Utah; cousins Vernette/Jerry Coleman of Rocky Boy, MT. His Companion's grandchildren were special in his eyes, Jonas Sommerville of McCook, NE, Emma Witte, Andrew Sommerville and Rylee Sommerville of Chadron, NE, Joslin Sommerville of Mitchell SD, Kolten and Korbin Sommerville of Chadron NE, and Bransen, Kyndalyn, Kierra, and Kenastyn Case, all of Wichita, KS.
 
He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, and an infant brother.
 
Dwight's final words would have been...
“Don't cry for me and mourn too long. I know you will, but remember, I am happy. I want you to be happy for me. I am no longer in pain; I am no longer suffering. For me this is not "Goodbye." I'll be waiting for you. Until we meet again I'll just say, "So Long," and “I love you all."
 
Rest in Peace forever, dear Dwight; you will be sorely missed.
 
Chamberlain Chapel is in charge of arrangements for Dwight Eugene Garnhart.
