Robert "Bob" Matthew Salmons

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.
