Clinton Salyers

November 9, 2018

Clinton Salyers, 58, of Procious, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, November 9, 2018, at Hubbard Hospice House after a short illness. He was the son of the late Robert and Kelsie McIntosh Salyers. Clinton was a member of Fairview Baptist Church in Clay, W.Va., and he was also an employee of CORE Appalachia and United Steel Workers, Local 628, in Charleston, W.Va. He was survived by his wife, Robin Salyers; sons, Nathan and Joshua Salyers (Megan); daughter, Ashley Boggs (Christopher); sisters, Donna Boner (Gene) and Bobbie Carol White (Gregg); and grandchildren, Samuel, Jace, Braxton, Allie, Jamison, and Paislee. Clint was a family man. He loved his wife, three children, six grandchildren and they loved him. He instilled within each of us that family comes first. He was loving, compassionate, humorous, hardworking and smart. He was always working at something and was a great provider for his family. He was the type of man that would do anything he could to help others. He never met a stranger. If you were a stranger when you met- you were his friend when you left. And he would remember you forever. The love he had for his family and friends was great, but his love for the Lord was greater. He will be greatly missed by all family and friends. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday, November 14, at Matics Funeral Home in Clendenin. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, November 15, at the funeral home with Pastor Clifford Samples officiating. Burial will be in the Salyers Family Cemetery in Wallback, W.Va.

The memories we made, The Love that we shared, The Plans that we had, This can’t be real, it just isn’t fair… When tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see And if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears of me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you loved me as much as I love you And each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand That an Angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready in Heaven far above And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly loved. So, when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart.
