Aaron James Gale
1981 ~ 2019
Aaron James Gale passed from the shackles of mortality and into the arms of his loving Heavenly Father on August 25, 2019. He was born March 17, 1981 to Dennis and Nicia (Miller) Gale. Despite some physical limitations due to cerebral palsy, Aaron had tenacious drive and those physical constraints never stopped him. He became an avid adventurer; golfing, fishing, biking, camping and hiking were some of his favorite pastimes. He loved and conquered the high summits of the Wasatch, Tushar, Uintah and Wind River Mountains. He was a determined strong willed young man.
His family and friends lovingly called him "AG" or Air Bear." He won over everyone he met with his quick wit, sense of humor and passion for life. He had a kind and gentle nature. He was loved by all.
Aaron had a passion for education and knowledge. Aaron graduated from Olympus High School. He received an Associate Degree from Snow College, a Bachelor's Degree from Utah State University, and capped it off with a Master's Degree from Southern Utah University. He loved Cedar City and it became like a second home.
Aaron was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in the Tucson Arizona mission. He received his Eagle Scout at a young age. He earned over 60 merit badges, as a result of his strong work ethic and determination.
Aaron is preceded in death by his grandparents, Aunt Anna May Snyder, and Cousin Jacob Snyder. He is survived by his parents, Dennis and Nicia Gale, Aunt Carla and Uncle David Sund, Aunt Emily Miller, Uncle Bruce and Aunt Jeanie Miller, Uncle Danny Miller, and Uncle Billy Miller.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, August 31, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Winderbrook Ward Building located at 4366 South 1500 East in Millcreek Utah. Interment will be held at Elysian Burial Gardens.

I hadn't seen Aaron for over a decade, but always inspired me when I thought about him and he'll continue to due so. I've never seen a more genuine smile in my life

I went to Olympus High School with Aaron. He always had a smile on his face and was fun to be around. I am a better person for having spent those few years around him in classes and student activities. I know some time has passed since his passing, but I want to send my condolences to his family. May you continue to find peace. He was a great guy.

Our condolences to you, Dennis and Nicia, on the passing of your son, Aaron. I wished he would have come to Silverado more often so we could have gotten to know him. Thank goodness he is free from the toil and strife of this earth and the many trials we go through on this earth. May the Lord's loving arms surround you at this time and through the coming year. Aaron is now at peace.

Dennis and Nicia,

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Aaron. He was one of the happiest people I knew. He was always smiling, laughing, or saying something witty and funny. He had a special presence and spirit about him that drew people in.
My deepest love to you both and your families.

We have so many fond memories of Aaron. He was a great boy scout. (earned 79 merit badges<) Brad had a lot of respect for Aaron as he was so determined to master challenges in the scout troop. We loved his visits. He had such a determined spirit. Gordon and James and Holly and Katie were good friends to him. He had such a great sense of humor. We grieve that he has passed but know that a loving Heavenly Father is there to greet him and welcome him home. We wish Nicia and Dennis our deepest sympathy and love. Brad & Gail Smith

I don't have the words to express your impact in my life growing up, but I do have amazing memories: the recesses on the playground, basketball before school, the pranks, the jokes, the laughter, the sleepovers with Golden wanting to be my best friend despite my best efforts, the late night talks about all your crushes, the laughter, the cub scout pack meetings with Dennis's corny jokes, the laughter, the campouts with silly stories, the sand dunes trips with sand EVERYWHERE, the laughter, the week-long scout camps with more pranks and jokes, your Eagle court of honor, the night games in the neighborhood, the laughter, the high school football games from the stands where we would egg each other in to talking to girls we liked, you actually talking with those girls, you convincing me to ask a girl to a dance who I had never met, the laughter. AG, you were one of a kind, and I was so lucky to have you in my life for all the time I did. You will be missed, but your legend will live on as I tell my kids the stories of my childhood, and they laugh just like we did. 'Til we meet again, brother.

I was saddened to hear this news, sympathy and condolences to his family. I was privileged to know Aaron through attending classes together at SUU and enjoyed his sense of optimism and courage. What an inspiring individual whose life touched me for good!
