Slone T. Staggs, Jr., 90, of Augusta, WV went to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 1, 2022 while at home surrounded by his family.

Born on October 11, 1931 in Junction, WV, he was the son of the late Sloan T. Staggs and Hattie (Whiteman) Staggs.

Slone served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.  He graduated from Caterpillar in 1956 as a diesel mechanic.  He loved working on heavy equipment and made a career out of it until retiring from Hott & Miller, Inc. of Wardensville, WV.  He enjoyed working on his farm and fabricating and tinkering in his shop.  He loved music and to play his guitars, but never for an audience.  If he was taking a break from working in the shop or on the farm, chances are he had a guitar in his hand.

Along with his parents, Slone was preceded in death by 2 sisters, Helen and Jean.

He is survived by his wife, Rosalie (Robinson) Staggs, son, Eddie Staggs and wife Wendy of Augusta, WV, daughter, Deborah L. Jenkins of Idaho, grandson, Michael Staggs and wife Heather of Augusta, WV, one great-granddaughter and a brother, Jerry Staggs of Romney, WV.
