John Propst, born on September 11, 1934, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2026, in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. He was 91 years old.
John's life was marked by a deep sense of purpose and a quiet dedication to those around him. He was a man who found joy in the simple things—whether it was repairing something broken with his own hands, spending time on the golf course, or lending a helping hand to neighbors in need. His practical skills and generous spirit left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Phyllis; his three children: Debbie Propst Tesnow (Stewart Tesnow) John B. Propst (Mary Propst), and Sharon Propst (Scott Siegle); and his sister, Bettie Parks. John also leaves behind several grandchildren, Dave Tesnow (Alyssa), Adam Tesnow (Dana), Ashley Propst, Jonathan Propst (Alex), Bryce Propst and great-grandchildren, Landon, Jack and Austin Tesnow who will carry forward his legacy of kindness and resourcefulness.
Throughout his life, John remained grounded in the values of hard work and service to others. Whether he was tinkering in the garage or offering support to someone nearby, he did so with humility and care.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.
