Darrett Andrew Mudgett was born on February 14, 1997 in Grand Forks ND, son of Jewellee Morin and Darrett Mudgett Sr.  He lived most of his life at Crow Hill with his father until his father passed away in 2005.  Darrett attended school in Warwick ND in his earlier years.  Most recently, Darrett worked at the Spirit Lake Casino in the Events Department. 

Darrett was very close to his paternal grandparents and was the family’s first baby. He was the center of attention and had everything he ever needed and more… When he was younger, he and his wild cousins, JJ, Clarence, Jaden, Tamara, Frankie, Montaya and Chelsea would go in the woods, make forts and set up traps to catch minnows for their fishing rods.  Darrett enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and enjoyed fixing and working on cars.  He liked to cruise and usually had several of his children with him.  Darrett loved spending time with his four children, gambling until his finger hurt, fishing, cruising and racing to the mish. While at the mish rec. you would see Darrett playing basketball with his friends and family.  When he wasn’t playing basketball he was watching his favorite team the Golden State Warriors playing. 

Darrett had a bubbly personality and could always make anybody smile.  Darrett had a huge heart, always helping all his friends who went to him to vent because he was always ready to listen.  He put everything he had into being a father.  He strived to be a great Dad to his kids, like he remembered his Dad being a great Dad to him.  He was absolutely into family, loved his Mom and siblings more than anything and was a great protector of the little family he made. 

Darrett is survived by his mother Jewelee; children Blake Mudgett, DJ (Darrett A.) Mudgett Jr, Karter D. Mudgett and Darrlyn Mudgett; grandparents Andrew Morin Sr., Arthur Mudgett and Cynthia Blacklance; great grandparents Ardis and Vincent Shaw; siblings Brooklynne Little, Robert Little III, Brielle Little, Samuel Morin, Bella Morin and Sybil; aunts and uncles Lola Mudgett, Arlin Blacklance, Garrett Mudgett, Bernard Mudgett, Barrett Mudgett, Doug Morin, Lyle Morin, Clarence Morin Sr., Jason LaRock, Lori Morin and Jennifer LaRock; special friend Chasity Lightening and many dear cousins.
