Life story

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Summer Lee Castanon Coalson, 38, of Coal City, West Virginia on October 27, 2023.

Summer was born December 11, 1984, to Steven and Beverley Castanon in Beckley, West Virginia. After graduating from Independence High School, Summer attended West Virginia University.

At the age of 20 she fell in love with the boy who she would spend the rest of her life with. Joshua Coalson and Summer Castanon had a bond that could not be broken. On September 2, 2008 she married the love of her life. They were blessed with two beautiful children: Aiden and Reilee. Summer was a loving wife and mother she was proud of her family and you could see her eyes light when she spoke of them.

Summer enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, riding horses and rescuing every animal she had the chance to. She loved to jam out to music with her daughter Reilee when it was just the two of them.

Summer was always smiling and had a huge heart. She was a dedicated daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. Summer loved spending time with her nieces and nephews: Mateo, Mari and Lux.
