Jay Blount

Jay Richard Blount, A man of profound strength and unwavering faith, completed his earthly journey at home surrounded by family on January 25, 2026, in Barry, Texas. Born on July 9, 1947, in Corry, Pennsylvania. Jay's early life was a testament to the power of love and wisdom of God working on the family's dairy farm with his brothers.

After graduating from high school, he answered the call of duty, serving with honor in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.

His military service was not merely a period of his life; it was a defining experience that shaped his character and values. Upon returning to civilian life, he found purpose in working on oil rigs, horse ranches, and helping his local community with his construction knowledge and ability.

Jay's passion for the outdoors, reading, and the Bible became the cornerstones of his life. Jay's love for the wilderness was not just a hobby but a sanctuary where he felt closest to the Creator he so loved. His faith was his compass, leading him through life's storms with an unwavering belief in the goodness of God's plan.

Family was the heart of Jay's world. He was the loving and sometimes cantankerous brother to Hal, Kim, Dru, and Tod. His daughter, Alise Blount, was the pride of his life. Through Alise, the joy of grandfatherhood blessed him with the laughter and wonder of his grandchildren: River, Cadence, Remington, and Genesis. His numerous nieces and nephews also held a special place in his heart.

Today, as we remember Jay Blount, let us not dwell on the sorrow of his departure but celebrate the incredible journey of a man who walked this earth with purpose. Let his life be a reminder that each day is a gift to be used in service to others, to pursue our passions, and to live in

accordance with our faith.
