Senkbeil III "Woody", Memrie (Dustin) Schrump, Morgan (Josh) Blake, Crandall Senkbeil; grandchildren, Indya (Brannan), Isaiah, Benjamin IV "Woody", Leilene, Elizabeth, Alex, Braxton, Dawson, Hazel; great grandchildren Sawyer, Phoenix; brothers, Brian Senkbeil, Jim Senkbeil; sister Amy Toler, and many friends and his dog "Brutus".

Friends and family will be received on Sunday September 21, 2025 from 2 pm until time of service at 4 pm at Kepner Funeral Home, 166 Kruger St., Wheeling (304-242-2311) where the Moundsville Veteran's Honor Guard will have Military Honors.

Yesterday

To the family, we are so very sorry to hear about Benny. It is really hard. I know that he is always with all of you. He love his family very much. He was a amazing man who knew a lot about cars and truck,and etc. He was one that would help you no matter what it was. He was a smart man and a goofy guy sometimes. If you was upset he would get you laughing. We will miss him. R.I.P.Benny
