Windsor, Vt. — On Monday, July 17 2017, Andrew Goulet succumbed to fatal injuries sustained in a mountain biking accident. He died while pursuing a newly acquired passion for this outdoor sport. He was a loving son and brother, and a loyal friend who was always ready to lend a helping hand or an empathic listening ear whenever it was needed. He was baptized, confirmed and a member of Old South Church in Windsor.

He loved hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, snow boarding and mountain biking. He loved anything that took him outdoors. He was a drummer and an adept auto mechanic, comfortable and fluent with a variety of tools and was capable of fixing just about anything. He had worked as a stone mason and at a sports shop and was always willing to pitch in with the family business. He had wisdom beyond his tender years and was truly an old and kind soul. He will be deeply and profoundly missed by all who have known and loved him.

He is survived by his father and mother, Carl and Sue Goulet of Windsor; brother, Christopher Goulet and partner, Shannon Smith of Ascutney, Vt.; uncles and aunts, Curtis and Mary Goulet of Salem, N.H., Clyde and Susan Goulet of Montgomery, Ala., Richard and Nichole Watson of Strafford, N.H., aunt, Kathleen Seiben of Sarasota, Fla.; uncle, Cliff Goulet of New York City; cousins, Joshua and Debbie Goulet of Salem, James Watson and family of Maryland, Christine Watson of Reno, Nev., Kimberly Coy and Alexandra Mills of Breckenridge, Colo.

A memorial service will be observed at Old South Church, Windsor on Saturday, July 29, 2017, at 4 p.m. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to Old South Church, Windsor VT or Ascutney Outdoors (http://ascutneyoutdoors.org/), Brownsville Vt.
