A dedicated and hardworking man, John showcased his extraordinary skill as one of the best masons in the valley.

John's interests extended well beyond his professional life; he enjoyed riding his bike and motorcycle, and he treasured the time he spent playing with his grandchildren, Izabella Bingham, Andres Bingham, and Mateo Gault. These moments of joy were further enriched by his love for relaxing after a long day with a good movie, a gourmet steak, and perhaps rolling a joint. He relished a unique bond with his family, particularly with Ian, his son. Together, they created cherished memories, including walks along the river where John introduced Ian to the art of fly fishing and memorable trips to California. John made Ian feel invincible, and their connection was one of pride and admiration, especially as Ian observed his father's recent determination to do better in life.

John leaves behind his son Ian Gault and Ian’s wife, Anai Gallegos; his son, Evan Gault; his daughter, Hayden Gault; his parents, Jennifer and John McConaghy; and three beloved grandchildren, Izabella Bingham, Andres Bingham, and Mateo Gault. He is preceded in death by dear family members Dolores "Mimi" Burns, Matthew Wood, and Joe and Velma Garcia.
