Samuel Lee “Sammy” Kuh, 67, of Seneca Rocks passed away on May 11, 2025, at his home following a brave battle with cancer.
He was born on April 18, 1958, in San Diego, California, the son of the late Donald McNeill Kuh and Mary Frances (Hoover) Alt.
Mr. Kuh graduated from Keyser High School in 1976 and enlisted in the United States Army where he was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, as a tank mechanic. After his service in the military, he moved back to West Virginia, working for West Virginia Paving, Beans Limestone, and currently at Hinkle Trucking until his recent illness. He was a former member of the FFA and attended the Mineral County Technical Center in Keyser.
He was a generous man who used his time and talents to help anyone in need. He loved life and took advantage of the great hunting and fishing this area has to offer. He was also talented in the kitchen, often cooking and smoking meats for all his family and friends to enjoy. He leaves behind a legacy of generosity and kindness to all who knew and loved him.
Surviving are a daughter, Jennifer Lee Kuh of Cabins; two sons, Samuel Lee Kuh, II, (Sarah) of Petersburg and Leroy D. Kuh (Kelly) of Fisher; three sisters, Connie Hoalcraft of Swanton, Maryland, Robin Kuh of Petersburg and Karen Peterson (Bob) of New Creek; two brothers, Fred Kuh (Nellie) of Burlington and Pee Wee Kuh (Wanda) of Scherr; four grandchildren, William Lee, Kenedy Faith, Leland Sam and Seneca Rhea Kuh.
