It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Nethanel M. Judy, 46, who passed peacefully on May 29, 2026, at his home of Maysville after a battle of ALS.
Born on Feb. 28, 1980, in Cumberland, Maryland, he was the son of John H. and Rita R (Vance) Judy.
Mr. Judy was a member of Laborers Local 379 and employed with ALL Construction for the past 10 years.
Friends knew him as “Nate.” He was a jack of all trades with a passion for building vehicles, spending time at the lake, kayaking, fishing, hunting, vacationing in Florida and always challenging people to a game of Putt Putt.
He will be missed by many but there is peace in knowing he is finally pain free.
His wife of 24 years, Lori (Shoemaker) Judy, survives.
Also surviving are three sons Trevor, Tanner and wife, Vanessa, and Achilles Judy; two special grandchildren, Ezekiel and Emeryn; siblings, Jonathan and wife, Holly Judy, Elisha Judy, Joshua Judy and Isaiah Judy; and several nieces and nephews.
He was also preceded in death by a brother, John Matthew Judy; and a special niece, Felicity Jenkins.
A funeral service will be conducted at noon today at the Smith Funeral Home, Keyser Chapel, with Pastor John D. Leatherman and Pastor Mark Leatherman officiating. An hour visitation will take place before the service.
The family requests that memorial contributions be directed to the Smith Funeral Home, 85 S. Main Street, Keyser, WV 26726 to assist in defraying funeral expenses.
