Obituary

William L. "Sonny" Losh, 73, husband of Maybelle (Simmons) Losh, of Staunton, passed away on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at his residence.

Mr. Losh was born in Staunton, Virginia on February 16, 1952, a son of the late John William Losh and Betty Virginia Losh.

Sonny devoted his entire professional career to the auto parts industry, where he was respected for his commitment and strong work ethic. In his personal life, he found great joy in the outdoors, particularly gardening and sports, with a special passion for baseball. He generously shared that passion by coaching Little League for many years, leaving a lasting impact on the youth he mentored. Sonny was a proud member of Rock Steady Boxing and also enjoyed riding his Harley Davidson. Sonny also had a passion for classic cars, with a special love of his restored Trans Am. He especially treasured time spent at the beach, with Myrtle Beach holding a special place among his favorite destinations.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Losh was preceded in death by a brother, Michael Kevin Losh.

Surviving, in addition to his wife of 53 years, is a son, William Jason Losh (Michelle) of Staunton; a daughter, April Nicole Swisher of Staunton; three sisters, Crystal A. "Suzie" Leo (Hank), Bonnie J. Miller, and Cindy L. Howdyshell; four grandchildren, Kadin and Kamden Swisher, Brooke and Beckett Losh; a cousin, Roger Lee Whisman, who was like a brother to Sonny; special friends, Jim and Brenda Orebaugh; and his beloved furry companion, "Boozer".
