Obituary for Carl M. Yost
Carl Martin Yost, 79, recently of Baker, WV and formerly of Kunkletown, PA passed into the next life Wednesday, January 11, 2023 with his loving wife, Christine at his side. Born July 29, 1943 to Carl and Elizabeth Yost he was the oldest of 43 first cousins. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his children, Karl Yost of Romney, WV, Andrew Yost of Lost Creek, WV, Elizabeth and Zach Teter of Eureka, KS and Erik and Becky Yost of Accident, MD along with beloved grandchildren Clay, Bryce and Freya Teter and Wade, Heidi, and Anson Yost.
Family was the rock Carl built his life around and enriched it with a broad variety of interests. Staunchly Lutheran, he faithfully attended Salem St. Paul in Kresgeville and Zion Lutheran Church in Baker. His faith was a practical Christianity that guided his family and occupations. A graduate of East Stroudsburg College and Temple University, he had been a camp counselor, schoolteacher, public official, soldier, attorney, and auctioneer with Yost & Muehlhan Auctioneers. He served his community seven years in the Pennsylvania Reserves at Fort Indiantown Gap, as Recorder of Deeds for Monroe County, and Supervisor of Eldred Township along with bids for the Pennsylvania Superior Court and Judge in Monroe County.
A hard worker when dedicated to his enterprises, he also embraced many hobbies and especially liked sharing them with anyone who would accompany him. Gardening, horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, hiking, flying power or sail planes, history and travel were his favorites. Of the many foreign countries visited, he preferred Austria, the Yost homeland, for hiking and skiing. Of the many adventures Carl had, his happiest times were spent pursuing these interests with his family.
Anyone who knows Dad was touched by his intellect, his respectful nature, and a knack for analyzing the world around him from the mundane to the amazing. He loved sharing this vision with others and pushing to see endless possibilities. Thank you for joining in grief for his loss, but more importantly, the appreciation of a life truly, fully lived. Auf Wiedersehen unser geliebt Vater.
A viewing will be held on Tuesday, January 17 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Kresge Funeral Home, 1763 Route 209, Brodheadsville. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, January 18 at 11:00 AM with Rev. Gary Koontz officiating. Burial will follow in Gilbert Cemetery.
