Family and friends will hold a candlelight vigil Tuesday evening at 7:00 at the home of Salmon’s mother, Renee Cross, in Hebron, Ky. People attending are asked to bring their own candles.

Salmon is survived by a three-year-old son, Noah, who lives with his mother and Salmon’s former girlfriends in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
