Samuel David Gault

Samuel David "Sam" Gault, 72, of Cashmere, died on March 7, 2016 and is now home with his Heavenly Father and Savior. Glen and Jennie (Binder) Gault welcomed Sam to their family on May 17, 1943, in Renton, WA. Sam's young years at their home on Stines Hill, were a mere stepping stone to his adult passions of the outdoors, talents as a self taught mechanic while tinkering on lawnmowers and motorcycles and his ever growing faith as a Christian. His first years of education started at Dryden Elementary and then continued at Peshastin High school, so that he could play football. Eager to work from an early age, Sam soon found employment as a mechanic at Peshastin Highup and then moving to truck driver for Stemilt, Midland Trucking and Bluebird, which he retired from in 2012. Sam held a true appreciation of the water, sky and the mountains that surrounded him, so the weekends were road trip adventures, with his companion of 20 years by his side, Carol Prag. Together they would go watch the elk or other wildlife, fish, hunt mushrooms, hike, bicycle or camp, depending on the weather or season. They tried gold panning, rock hounding and geo searching and each and every trip was documented with routes driven so that future trips would be via another road not yet traveled. Owning and riding motorcycles was a passion for Sam; one of his all time favorite rides was touring across the United States to visit East Coast, on his Honda Goldwing, by himself. Sam's love of automobiles had him and Carol for years attending toy shows, visiting antique stores, searching for another die cast car to add to his prize collection, which he displayed in his home and totaled over 1000 pieces. Sam was a member of the Promise Keepers and attended Calvary Crossroads Church in Wenatchee. He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Lyle Gault. Sam is survived by his companion, Carol Prag, and sister, Maxine Roles, both of Wenatchee. Graveside Services will be held on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 11:00 am at the Cashmere Cemetery. Viewing will be on Monday, March 14th from 1-5pm at Heritage Memorial Chapel, East Wenatchee. Sam loved his dogs and cats and it is suggested that memorials be made to either the Wenatchee Humane Society or the MS Society. You are invited to view his online guestbook at: www.HeritageMemorialChapel.com . Arrangements are in the care of Heritage Memorial Chapel, Cashmere.
