Elmer Rush Goad, 84, of Dugspur, VA, passed away on Tuesday, June 16, 2020. Mr. Goad was born in Carroll County, VA, to the late George Raymond Goad and Leila Gladys (Horton) Goad. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brother Eugene Goad and sister Anna Goad Grams.

Survivors include his wife of 64 years, Lottie Hall Goad of the home; son Joel Goad of Dugspur; daughter Jill Goad Hensley (Bruce) of Charlotte, NC; brother Daniel Goad of Gulfport, MS; and sister Gladys Goad Cox of Camden, SC.

Elmer served honorably in the U.S. Army. An auto mechanic, he operated Elmer's Auto Service in Charlotte, NC, for 38 years and was loved by his customers for his integrity, kindness, quick wit, and good work. After "retiring" and returning to his beloved Blue Ridge Mountains, and never one to sit still, he worked in maintenance at the Hampton Inn Hillsville since 2012 among many dear co-workers and friends.

There will be no services at this time. Vaughan-Guynn-McGrady Chapel, Hillsville, VA is serving the family.
