Willard Sutherland Jr.

Willard Sutherland, Jr., 75, of Fort Gay, WV went to be with the Lord on September 9, 2025.
He was born January 3, 1950, the son of the late Willard "Howard" and Alma Maynard Sutherland.
Willard was a graduate of Crum High School and a retired surface miner at Marrowbone Development. He honorably served in the United States Army completing a tour in Vietnam. He was a member of the Genoa United Baptist Church.
Survivors include his devoted wife, Linda Feasel Sutherland; a son, Willard "Willie" Sutherland III, a daughter Cynthia (Matthew) Reid; sisters Weltha Jane Zunk, Christina Sutherland- King, and one brother, Warren Sutherland. He had four chosen grandchildren Christopher Marcum, Sarah Marcum, Joshua Wells, Denet Wells and one special great grandchild, Owen Marcum. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by sisters Rose Maynard and Ruby Sutherland.
If you were his friend or a stranger, he was sure to talk to you about the Lord, the Bible, his adventures coon hunting, stories about fishing, or anything with a motor. By the time you left you'd be his friend and be added to his list of people he was praying for.
