William Russell Cash
William Russell Cash, 41, died unexpectedly in a car accident, Wednesday, April 28, 2004 while working near Fairbanks, Alaska. He was born June 2, 1962 at Mercy Hospital, as the youngest son of Ed and Jaynelle Cash of Oklahoma City. In childhood he was active in Little League Sports, often coached by his dad. He attended Moore Public Schools, where he played several sports while attending Central Junior High and Moore High School. He graduated from Moore High School with the Class of 1980. He was offered a football scholarship to Panhandle State University, but declined it to attend Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. He graduated from Oklahoma State University in December 1984, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Petroleum Engineering Technology. He served in the United States Coast Guard from 1988 to 1996, and took great pride in serving his country, especially during Desert Storm. While in the military he was stationed at Charleston, S. Carolina; Cape May, New Jersey; Middletown, California; and in the Caribbean and the Bering Seas. He was currently employed by Fesler Technical Services in Oklahoma City as an electronic engineer. He was en route from Anchorage to a jobsite in Fairbanks, Alaska. He was preceded in death by grandparents, Fred and Margaret Ashley, Jeanette Cash and Grady Cash; uncles Lloyd Ashley and Johnny Ashley; and aunt Lou Ashley. He is survived by his wife, Gayle, and two sons, Zackary Edward Cash and Orin Andrew Cash, of the home; stepson and stepdaughter, Derrick and Amber Dougherty; parents, Ed and Jaynelle Cash of Oklahoma City; brother and sister in law, Mike and Mitzi Cash of Moore; nieces and nephews, Janae Haney and her husband Terry Haney of Ft. Stewart, Georgia; Kiley Christian, Jennie Cash, Scott Cash and Brandon Cash of Moore; great niece, Zoie Haney of Ft. Stewart, Georgia. Russell was loved by many relatives, friends, co workers, and acquaintances throughout the country, and will be missed by everyone that had a privilege of knowing him. His love for family and friends, his warmth, his wit, and his wonderful sense of humor have touched our lives in so many ways. We will never be the same. Russell's greatest source of pride and joy are his two sons, Zack and Orin, and a William Russell Cash Memorial fund is being established for his sons at the FAA Credit Union, 10201 S. Western in Oklahoma City. A memorial service will be 2:00 P.M., Tuesday, May 4, 2004 at Moore First Baptist Church located at I 35 & NE 27th Street in Moore.
