On March 17, 2023, our beloved Ronald R. Yost left this earth, leaving behind his loved ones to grieve his lass and rejoice in his soul's freedom.

Born to Woodford and Leona Davis Yost, he had a heart of gold, and a spirit for adventure. He was intelligent, innovative, and witty. He had a laugh that would fill the room. Ronald was a veteran of the United States Army. He was a forest man and a friend to many.

He is preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Mary King.

Ronald leaves behind his loyal wife and companion 44 years, Betty McCumbers of Gassaway; son, Ronny R. Yost of Akron, Ohio; daughter, Louise Yost of Akron, Ohio; sister, Ellen (Jerry) Feikert of Smithville, Ohio; brothers, Bill Yost of Rosedale; Bob (Caulinbine) Yost of Rittman, Ohio; and daughter from the heart, Melissa McCumbers, of South Port, North Carolina.

His life will live on through all who loved him. We will cherish the memories and remember the lessons. We were blessed to have had him.

Ronald was cremated, and no services will be held.
