Jonathan Senic

Jonathan W. Senic, age 76, of Alpena, West Virginia, passed away at his home on Monday, December 1, 2025. Born April 27, 1949 in Elkins, he was the son of the late George and Helen Knuti Senic. Jon spent his life rooted in the mountains he loved. He worked for LaRosa Fuel earlier in his career before beginning a long and meaningful chapter with Roy's RV, where he served as a salesman for more than twenty years. He took great pride in his work and was known for being dependable, loyal, and someone who would always jump in to help anyone who really needed it. Jon was a devoted father and grandfather, and nothing meant more to him than his children and grandkids. He loved spending weekends at the racetrack - always there to watch his son Tim race while his son Mike worked on the car. He also enjoyed cheering on his grandchildren at their sporting events and activities. Some of his favorite moments were the quiet evenings at home with a grandchild on his lap, watching TV and simply enjoying their company. He always loved the outdoors-hunting, fishing, and being in the woods-even when it became harder for him to get out as often as he wished. Music was a big part of Jon's life, he loved to sing and play guitar. Jon is survived by two sons, Tim Senic and wife Susan, and Jonathan Michael Senic, all of Elkins; three daughters, Cherri Geaschel and husband Jim of Rockford, IL, Laura Senic and husband L.J. Gravelle of Falling Waters, WV, and Heidi Heine of St. Louis, MO. He is also survived by one brother, Dave Senic and wife Sue of Alpena; nephew Shane Senic, niece Angie Senic Shockley; and grandchildren Maverick Senic-Gravelle, Mila Senic-Gravelle, Mabel Senic-Gravelle, Rachel and Jordan Senic, Michael and Daniel Geaschel, Jessica, Nicolas, and Amanda Heine-each of whom he loved deeply.
