In Loving Memory of Wesley Arthur Shult ("Starwalker") Wesley Arthur Shult, lovingly known by his CB handle Starwalker, was a devoted son, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He passed away doing what he loved most-helping others. Starwalker lived a life rich in adventure, service, and compassion. A proud Vietnam veteran, he served his country in the United States Marine Corps with honor and courage. His dedication to service continued long after his military years. A man of many talents, Wesley was also an entrepreneur who built and managed numerous businesses, including gas stations, mechanical shops, a trucking company, tow truck services, and a truck washing operation. He was known for his strong work ethic, compassion, and generosity toward everyone he met. Wesley Arthur Shult-our Starwalker-touched countless lives with his kindness and dedication. His legacy of service, family, and friendship will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Wesley's greatest joy in life was caring for this family. He is survived by seven children, two adopted children, many grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who will continue to honor his memory and carry forward his light.
