Dave Wallis Sites, Jr.

Dave Wallis Sites, Jr., age 68, of Rock Cave, WV, passed away on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with his family by his side. He died at the home of his ex-wife Laura Sites of Buckhannon, who had taken him into her home for the last two weeks of his life with the assistance of WV Hospice for the final few days.

He was born on August 16, 1958, in Charlottesville, VA, a son of the late Dave W. Sites, Sr. and Marjory “Margie” Ruth Walton Sites. In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by two sisters: Barbara Sites and Linda Shreve Moran and husband Bobby Shreve.

In addition to his ex-wife, he is also survived by two sons: David W. Sites, III and wife Donna of Buckhannon and Mack Sites of Rock Cave; two grandchildren: Molly and William Sites of Buckhannon; one sister, Carolyn Flory and husband Joel of Fairmont; two nieces: Chanda Powell and husband Paul of Richmond, KY, and Gail Widmer and husband Matthew and their two children Ethan and Ella of Georgetown, KY; two aunts: Joy Loudin of Buckhannon and Bertha Sites of Virginia; a brother-in-law, Bud Moran of Buckhannon; as well as many cousins and too many friends to mention.

Dave graduated from Buckhannon-Upshur High School with the Class of 1976 and worked at many jobs during his lifetime, from construction work building homes to truck driving cross-country and logging trucks in Upshur County. His last job was as the proprietor of the Pritt Mountain View Bar in Kanawha Head. He was well thought of and had many friends who helped him, and he in turn helped anyone in need.

The family will receive friends at the Heavner & Cutright Funeral Chapel from 4–8 p.m. on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. Following the visitation, the body will be cremated.

Online condolences may be extended to the Sites family at www.heavnerandcutright.com. The Sites family entrusted the Heavner & Cutright Funeral Chapel and Cremation Service with the arrangements.
