Richard Clete Brost, 53, of Warwood, passed away Monday, September 21, 2026, at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital.
He was born on July 17, 1973, in Wheeling, WV, son of the late James Richard Brost and Joanna Ernest Phipps.
Richard was a engine/parts cleaner at Warwood Armature and worked at the former Assaro Tow Garage in Warwood for 30 years. He loved working on cars and was one of the hardest working men people will name. Even if he didn’t have anything, he would find a way to help anyone out “if they needed it”.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Richard is survived by his significant other, Marcy Crook of Wheeling; his son, Charles Brost of Wheeling; two sisters, Kristy of Wheeling and Lori of Toledo, Ohio; and several nieces and nephews.
At Richard’s request there will be no services.
