Joshua was a loving father, best friend, loved by many. He was a hard worker and loved vehicles. He was loved by animals including his baby girl Foxy. Most importantly he was one of the best things his daughter Victoria Robin Blevins Bean could ever have the other is her mother.

Those left to cherish his memory include Sabrina Lynn Sexton, whom Josh had known most his life, her babies Bobbie Jo Damon, nieces Natalya Keith, Payton, and her nephew Nathaniel, sons Ryan Ward and Paul Summerfield. They treated him as their own father, grandparent and he took care of them as if they were his own. Also surviving is Joshua’s x-wife, Tara Jean Marie Blevins with whom he was with for over 19 years, 4 years before marriage. Step sons, who were like his own Scott Ryan and John Davis Jr. and eventually Victoria Bean (his only daughter) when she came into this world, also surviving is a bother Jason Recupero, his wife Julie Recupero, nieces and nephew Katarina Recupero, and Zachary Recupero who always welcomed him and his family. When we all are together feels like nothing can break are walls down. His brother was his best friend and best man. He helped Josh when he needed it and so did Tara Blevins.

Josh has 10 grandbabies and the 11th on the way, 6 of the 11 are from his daughter Victoria. Victoria has always shown her dad that she will became the mom, the daughter, and the person whom her dad knew she could and wanted to be.

He was the only dad we all knew, he may not have been the best but no one is perfect. He did everything for us and none of us would change that for the world.

May he rest in peace knowing many loved him, and that his dog is with him, his kids, grandchildren, friends and family will carry his memory on forever.

We will miss you.

Ronald York - August 26, 1932 - February 15, 2024

Departed: 02/15/2024 (Logan)

Obituary Preview: Ronald “Brother” York, 91, of Logan, WV, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on February 15, 2024, after a long life full of love and servanthood to God. He was born alongside his beloved twin brother on August 26, 1932, in Logan, West Virginia.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Gertrude and Norman York; his precious wife of 55 years, Joann Elizabeth York; his twin brother, Donald; his sister, Betty; nephew, Donnie York, along with many friends and loved ones along the way.

His love story with Joann bloomed with the cherry blossoms in Washington DC when he was stationed at Andrews Air Force Base with his twin brother.

Married in October of 1955, they welcomed their daughter, Donna Jean York Williams (Don-Jean), into the world a year later on Halloween.

Being an identical twin himself, we can only imagine his joy in becoming a papaw to twin girls, Leanna Jean (Keith) Coffman and Joana Beth.

In 2010, he was promoted to great-grandfather with the birth of his first great-grandson, Liam York Chandler. Known as Papaw Liam, he's got the personality and eyes of his papaw.

More great-grandchildren came with Jackson Blake, Tiffany Grace, and (you guessed it) twin great-grandchildren Kennedy Jean and Kate Jordan along with a bonus great-grandchild who he dearly loved and always said was a handsome fella, Carson.

In addition to many loving friends and family over the years, he is also survived by nieces Judy Steele Baisden Evans, Kelli York Bryant, and nephew, David Steele. Scrappy the dog, his caretaker and friend Megan, and his best friends Doug and William.

Our Dad and Papaw were known in our community not only for the family business York’s TV and Appliances and that little red Toyota truck but also as a man of God and a Minister. Some of our favorite memories are when he would sing in church with his wife, Joann. Songs like "The Old Rugged Cross," "In the Garden," "The Old Ship of Zion," to name a few.

All his life, he preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to as many as he encountered. We are confident at this very moment he is casting his many crowns at the feet of Jesus and encountering souls that were led to Christ through his ministry. As his mantle fell Thursday morning, his oldest Granddaughter prayed for it to fall on her as she continues his legacy of ministry.

Ronald was a kind, sensitive man with quiet confidence. He kept peace and always tried to understand others and approached life with love. He led by Godly example and turned the other cheek more times than could be counted. Arrangements for a memorial service are incomplete at this time, but donations to cover final costs can be made to https://gofund.me/91a22b1e (https://gofund.me/91a22b1e) Honaker Funeral Home is in charge of cremation services

Patty Turner - February 06, 1955 - January 08, 2024

Departed: 01/08/2024 (Logan)

Obituary Preview: The coolest chick in town took her “Stairway to Heaven” on the morning of Monday, January 8, 2024. Patty had a hippie soul and you could find her cruising around in her beloved red convertible Volkswagen Beetle. Her days were spent with her daughter, Erin (Jeffrey) Miller, who was her best friend and side-kick. She could often be found at sporting events to watch her grandson, Parker Miller, who was her pride and joy.

Patty enjoyed bossing around her adored and cherished little sister, Carol Turner Cole, who took diligent care of her. They believed in each other unfailingly and supported each other through Patty’s courageous eight-year battle with cancer. Her nieces, the twins Lauren and Allison (Amie) Cole, were a constant joy in her life and as close to her as if they were her own.

Her love of music, Halloween, pumpkins, tacky wind chimes, Diet Coke, and popcorn will be carried on by her family. Some of her favorite moments were spent sitting on her porch at home with family around. Patty brought a never-ending sense of fun and surprise to the lives of her family members, whether it was from an action-packed vacation or something as simple as a trip to lunch together during a regular workday.

Patty was preceded in death by her parents, the late William Harrison and Edna Turner. She leaves behind a whole host of very special friends, especially her life-long Holden Store porch gang. Patty’s passion for fun, adventure, and dedication to kindness towards others touched the lives of her family, friends, and her entire community. Her larger-than-life personality and wonderful smile will truly be missed by all who knew her.
