After a single car accident, Medford (Skip) Cosner Sr passed on to heaven from his home in Triangle, Va surrounded by his beloved family. He leaves behind 4 children, Medford (Skip) Cosner Jr (Kathy), Danny Cosner (Terri), Cindy Cosner Smith, and Pam Cosner Gallant (Joe), 5 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.
He is survived by 2 brothers, Oz (Martha) and Grant (Barbara).
Skip was born on the family farm in Fluvanna County Va growing up working the farm with his 10 siblings. He moved to Quantico, and later Triangle and worked for Purvis Ford in Triangle before opening his auto salvage business in 1954 in Dumfries. He owned and operated Skips Auto Parts with his family from 1954 to 2000. Lady Bird Johnson famously drove by the salvage yard in 1966, making national news as she complained about the roadside “ junk yard” and was inspired to promote and pass The National Highway Beautification Act. Skip cleaned and spruced up the operation and fenced the salvage yard after that.
Skip’s passion was tennis, playing every day and teaching countless others the game until he was 90. He was a passionate advocate for the poor and homeless and has been an active member of Triangle Baptist Church since 1951. He loved walking, working in his yard, and hanging out with the other seniors at The Senior Center in Woodbridge daily.

It is with great sadness that I am writing this out. I am finding it hard to believe and even harder to say but my wonderful, loving wife of 15 years, Jenn Salazar, has passed away. On October 15 at 8:16am, she took her last breath and passed away peacefully and surrounded by our family and supporters.
Her battle with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer has come to an end. She fought to the very end to be with us. The courage she showed, the love she gave us, and her ability to make us smile until the end has made this journey bearable.
There are so many things I want to say and share but I don’t think this is the right platform for that. Thank you to all those that have provided prayer, support and have been here through any part of this fight.
To my wife, Jenny:
I love you, and I miss you so much. This is unreal but you have given me strength by being a perfect example on how to be strong. Thank you for all you have done for our kids and I. I will continue to love them as you have and I will keep your request for me as I start a journey without you physically here, but still in my heart and mind. I will forever hold you in my heart and know you love me back.
