Robert Matthew "Bob" Salmons, age 73, of Tippet Avenue, Morehead, passed away Thursday, August 1, 2024, at his residence.

Bob was born November 24, 1950, in Youngstown, Ohio, a son of the late Boone Salmons and Winona Adkins Salmons Bradley.  Besides his parents he was preceded in death by two brothers, Luther James "L.J." Salmons and Lee Dale Salmons; two sisters, Carolyn Trent and Hattie Utterback; and his daughter, Tina Salmons.

He is survived by two daughters, Tonya Salmons (Randy Wright) of Collinsville, Alabama, and Tammy Salmons of Wolfe County; one brother, Boone Salmons of Wallingford; 5 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren, and special friend, Jeffrey Goodan.  He also leaves behind nieces and nephews; extended family and friends.

Bob was a self-employed carpenter and skilled mechanic, especially on automobiles.  He enjoyed all kinds of racing and at one time drag raced in his own car.  He never met a stranger, enjoyed practical jokes, and good-natured teasing was one of his favorite pastimes.  He will be greatly missed.
