Samuel Lee Ouellette, February 23, 1978 – June 18, 2020, age 42
Sam was hired at Mill Valley Refuse Service in April of 2018. He was a compost driver for the last 26 months and absolutely loved his job. Sam would go out of his way to help anyone and everyone, his customers, other drivers, or anyone along the way. He was known for always having a smile on his face and his easygoing demeanor. Sam had “his chair” in the office, where he’d sit every morning as the men joked with one another waiting to go out on their routes.
Sam is survived by his wife, Tammy. Sam’s best friend was Wyatt, his 10-year-old Labrador retriever who we hear is lost without him. Sam considered MVRS his family. We will be lost without him as well.
We are touched by the outpouring of support from our community. If you would like to make a donation to Sam’s family, please send it to:
