Joshua Cecil Salyer was born November 11, 1980 and left to join his brother Chris, August 21, 2021. He and Chris were inseparable and Joshua missed him every day.

If the Lord needs a driver for his semi tractor-trailers or needs an excellent diesel mechanic or if He needs a good electrician to help keep the lights on, then the Lord called the right man home. He is working for the Lord now, so A.C. Blevins Trucking will need to find a new employee. If it was broken, Joshua could fix it.  He loved the outdoors whether it be hunting, camping, fishing or ATV riding. He loved playing pranks and joking around with his aunts, uncles and cousins. His greatest love were his three children, Cole, Brock, and Violet. They had his heart and he cherished his time with them. Joshua not only will be missed by his children but also, by his parents.

Joshua was preceded in death by his brother, Chris Salyer; maternal grandparents, Jack and Irene Kennedy Smith; paternal grandparents, Cecil and Reable Boggs Salyer.

Survivors include his parents, Rex and Susie Smith Salyer of Coeburn; children, Cole, Brock and Violet Salyer of Coeburn; mother and father-in-law, Teeni and Dave Rose of Rose Ridge; brother-in-law, James Rose (Beth) and son, Gunner of Clintwood; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; mother of his children, Candi Rose Salyer.
