Upon finishing school, he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Monterrey, Mexico.

He worked for S and J Farms from then until his death. He enjoyed his time there working with Scott Alder and his brother-in-law Adam Huish. Saul was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He held and served in many callings, but his favorites were as a nursery leader and boy scout leader. He always had fun going on campouts and cooking forward parties. Saul always liked a good laugh. He loved to cook a good meal, asking your opinion on the meal he cooked for you, talking about horses, cattle, bull riding, holding ALL babies, talking your ear off. He was a jack of all trades, but a master of none. He loved to wheel and deal and was a master at it. He loved camping and being outdoors. He loved talking about the gospel of Jesus Christ and was well versed in it. He was very intelligent and could come up with a solution to almost any problem he was presented with. He was a great friend. He loved his kids and was so happy to finally become a grandpa. Saul will be missed immensely by all who knew him, especially his family.
