On Sept. 26, 2012 God called his strongest angel home, to enjoy everlasting life and love beside God’s Throne. Eli Joseph Salter was born May 13th, 2012 with an intestinal disorder. After 4 ½ months of fighting his disorder, an infection causing irreversible damage led to his passing. He passed in his parents arms at Sacred Heart Hospitals NICU. Eli was deeply loved by many people. Eli was always smiles and giggles and will always be loved and missed but never forgotten. He is survived by his parents, Donald and Ashley Salter; sibling, Charley Salter; grandparents, James and Hazel Allen, Brenda and Larry Kroeger, Charles and Lawry Mayton; god parents, Heather Bardin and Josh Gainey and numerous aunts and uncles along with numerous cousins. A service for Eli will be held on Tues, Oct. 2, 2012 at 2:00 pm at Pine Forest Assembly of God and the family will receive friends the hour before at the church. Bro. David Scruggs will be officiating. Condolences may be left at www.easterngatememorial.com.
