Roy Harrison Blackmon, of Covington, passed away Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the age of 75. Mr. Blackmon passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of simple joys, quiet strength, and a life well lived. He was happiest tending to his chickens, spending peaceful mornings and evenings caring for them with a steady hand and a gentle heart.
