William "Bill" Theodore Fonner III

William “Bill” Theodore Fonner III, 64, of Weirton, WV, passed away suddenly on November 3, 2026, at Ruby Memorial Hospital, Morgantown, WV after a short but hard-fought battle with cancer.

Bill was born on January 4, 1962, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is preceded in death by his father, William Fonner Jr.

Bill dedicated over 40 years of his life to the construction industry. An artist at heart, he turned that passion into a long and well respected career with a focus on hardwood flooring. Outside of work, Bill loved his many friends, concerts, cookouts (especially if he had the chance to smoke anything in the smoker), motorcycles, and all the animals his kids brought home he pretended not to like.

Most importantly, Bill treasured his family and the love they shared. He will be remembered as a loving son, brother, husband, and, most of all, a loving and caring father.

Bill leaves behind his wife, Kelly Patterson; son, William Fonner IV (Maddalena Rago); daughters, Jenna Fonner (Connor Thomas) and Ericka Fonner (Michael Wright); mom, Irene Fonner (Palinski); and brother, Ronald Fonner.

Per Bill’s wishes, there will be no visitation. Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home at 3219 Main St. Weirton WV 26062.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made towards his family for funeral expenses.
