Yost and wife Denise, Kim Koelbel and husband Timothy, Becky Yost Rainey and the late Rae Ellen Yost; cherished grandfather of Joshua and Meghan Koelbel, Matthew and Alyssa Yost and Jessica and Katey Rainey; also survived by dear sister Juanita and other relatives and friends.

Mr. Yost, a kind hearted and selfless man, was known for his unwavering dedication to the Baltimore City Police Department for over 45 years, as well as St. John Lutheran Church, and to helping those in need. He spent every Thursday feeding the homeless, offering not only hot meals but compassion, hope, and protection. Mr. Yost found joy in traveling and cherished his visits to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Bar Harbor, Maine, where he embraced the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life. At home, he was happiest watching classic western movies, especially those featuring John Wayne. Mr. Yost will be remembered for his generosity and adventurous spirit, and will be deeply missed.
