Ronald Blount

Ronald (Ron) Blount, 89, of Houston, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 20,2026 surrounded by his loving family. He was born on July 6,1937 in Jena, Louisiana to Frederick Monroe Blount and Dorothy Riley.

He proudly served his country in the United States Navy. Throughout his life, he wore many hats, including working as a teacher for HISD, pursuing a career in real estate, and owning and operating a vending machine business.

He never met a stranger and had a smile that welcomed everyone.

Ron had a long eight-year battle with dementia/Alzheimer's. The last year of his life was spent in Cypress Assisted Living. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and caregivers for the love, kindness, and exceptional care they provided Ron. You were more than caregivers; you became part of our family, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Ron is survived by his loving wife of 50 years Charlotte Blount, his daughters, Nancy Opial (Keith), and Charlene Hicks (Jerry); and his grandchildren, Tori Blount and Blake Opial.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings.
