The passing of Joshua Adam Sammons of Huntington, West Virginia, has left a deep and painful void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

His departure has brought sorrow to many, yet his memory stands as a testament to a life lived with heart and sincerity.
Joshua was more than a son, fiancé, father, and brother he was a steady presence, a source of comfort, and a man whose kindness left a lasting impression. Those who knew him best remember his warm smile, his generous spirit, and the way he showed up for the people he cared about.
Whether through quiet acts of support or moments of shared laughter, Joshua had a gift for making others feel valued and understood.
Family was at the center of Joshua’s world. He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Roger Norman and Jeanette Sammons Norman, who nurtured and guided him throughout his life.
