Ronald Joseph Blanton, 65, passed away on Monday, January 12, 2026, at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was born on Friday, September 16, 1960, in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ron was preceded in death by his mother, Norma Jean Curles; his father, Bobby Joe Blanton; his sisters Terri, Taunda, and Bobbi; and his brother, Greg.

He is survived by his loving wife, Carol Blanton; his children, Shauna, Michael, and Brienna; his son-in-law, Jon Nieporte; his cherished grandson, Greyson; and his sister, Leilauni.

Ron was loved by so many. He was known for his generosity, his quick sense of humor, and his ability to fix just about anything. A true jokester, he could lighten a room with ease and was always ready with advice, a solution, or just a laugh. Handy with tools and generous with his time, Ron was someone people could always count on.

Above all else, he loved his family deeply. He was a devoted husband and a wonderful father, showing his love through his presence, his support, and the care that he gave every day. His family was the center of his world, and his legacy lives on through them.

Ron's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him and were fortunate enough to know him.
