A Truly Good Man
1950 – 2025
Dennis Warren Westover (Denny), 75, died in his sleep from a ruptured brain aneurysm on August 29, 2025, at his home in South Charleston, WV, after many years of pain from 2 knee replacements, pins in his right ankle, and Tinnitus (ringing in his ears).
He became an electrical engineer after earning his engineering degree from Grove City, a conservative Christian college in his home state of Pennsylvania. He moved to West Virginia in 1980 and worked for many years as a construction supervisor at ThyssenKrupp (now TKE), managing elevator installations across 5 states from his office here in Charleston.
He was a strong warrior for the Lord and an ardent activist working with our state legislators and other community and church leaders, fighting for righteousness, justice, and truth throughout society, in the Church, and in our public school system. He positively impacted the lives of many addicts, felons, and children through his longtime work with Celebrate Recovery, the Charleston Black Ministerial Alliance, the Boys to Men youth mentoring program, and through his own conservative activist organization, Christian American Patriots-WV, which focused on Protecting Our Kids from grooming, social indoctrination, and obscenity in school and library books.
He worked with national Christian organizations, i.e., the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Promise Keepers, to organize large Christian events, including the 2016 National Day of Prayer with Franklin Graham at our state capital.
He married his wife, Gail, “the love of [his] life,” on April 4, 2021.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Warren Henry Westover and Helen Louise Hartle, and is survived by his wife, Gail; sisters, Kim Oyler and Joyce Williams; and children, Doug and Christin Westover. Denny enjoyed spending time with his children and sisters. He was especially proud of Kamaya Cogar, his step-granddaughter from a previous marriage.
A home-going celebration to honor the life of Denny will be held at 11 a.m. on the 27th day of September, 2025, at Valley Christian Assembly, 1703 Bigley Avenue, Charleston, WV. Memories may be shared by visiting www.Snodgrassfuneral.com and selecting his obituary.
