As the result of a tragic accident, Ted died Wednesday, July 6, 2016.

Theodore “Ted” Yost was born Sept. 18, 1948, in Albert Lea, the son of Arthur and Margaret (Wittmer) Yost. He grew up near Bear Lake and graduated from Emmons High School. On July 9, 1972, he was united in marriage to Ilene Kaiser at Bear Lake Lutheran Church. Together they raised three children. Ted was a jack of all trades. He was a dairy farmer, an ag mechanic, a certified welder and opened Yost Manufacturing.

Most recently he enjoyed farming and working for Precision Septic. He was a part of the Lutheran Brotherhood dartball league and also enjoyed bowling, fishing, riding motorcycles and golfing. Most of all, Ted enjoyed spending time with family — especially his grandchildren.

Ted is survived by his wife, Ilene; children Emily (Doug) Stein, William Yost and Thomas (Tara) Yost; grandchildren Victoria and Madyson Stein and Tristen, Trevor, Turner and Tobi Jo Yost; siblings Kathy (Larry) Pfaff, Don (Julie) Yost, John Yost and Carl (Carmen) Yost; and many nieces and nephews.

Ted was preceded in death by his parents and uncle, Manferd Wittmer.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Concordia Pickerel Lake Cemetery or to the donor’s choice.
