Steven Blanck Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 24, 2025.
Rio Hondo - Steven Robert Blanck, 66, of Rio Hondo, TX passed away on Friday, June 13, 2025. He was born on November 4,1958 in Richmond VA and raised in Howell, Ml.

Steven was a man of great warmth, dedication, and unwavering kindness. He approached life with joy, embracing every moment with enthusiasm and a deep appreciation for the people around him. With a remarkable work ethic, he poured his heart into everything he did-whether in his career or in the quiet, everyday acts of love and support for family and friends. He was the one people could always count on, offering a helping hand without hesitation, a listening ear without judgment, and a presence that made others feel valued and cared for.

Beyond his devotion to work and family, Steven found happiness in life's simple pleasures-whether sharing laughter over a meal, enjoying the outdoors, or making cherished memories with those he loved. His generosity and genuine spirit touched many, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and compassion. Though he may no longer walk among us, the imprint of his kindness and the depth of his love will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his parents Robert Dean and Mary Patricia Blanck, aunt Carol Hummel, uncle David Bossert; and his soulmate Deborah Jean Blanck.

He is survived by his two children Audra Nicole Johnson and Spring Jeniece Blanck as well as his grandchildren, Rowan Johnson, Tristian Johnson and Terri Ferguson and Kirsh Ferguson. His sister Jennifer McBlanck (spouse Jennifer McKinley), sister Darcey Wilson (spouse Albert "Bud" Wilson); aunt Kathryn Dunn and cousin Elizabeth Kemper (spouse Damian Kemper); aunt Julie Bossert and cousins Mark Bossert, David Bossert Jr., Laura Bossert; and cousins Cheryl Wyngarden, Debra Gilbert, Jim Wyngarden.
