Robert Jerry Salgado was born in Chicago, Illinois on October 26, 1984, the son of Roberto and Judy Qualls Salgado. Moving to Hardin County, Tennessee in 1995, he completed high school there and eventually began working for Gambrells Sawmill where he stacked ties.
There were several great loves in his life, one being fishing and another being his cars. His deepest love, however, was reserved for his family who described him as one of the greatest men in this world.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his children, Robert Jerry Salgado, Jr., Merzades Natasia Salgado, Dylan Cain Doyle, and Annalise Elizabeth Parrish, as well as his sister Linda and his brother Joseph Jerry Qualls.
