Visit the Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.
On November 29, 2025, Thomas William Blank, was reunited with his Lord at the age of 84. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Tom was the 1st of 3 children born to Lee and Jeanne Blank on June 28th, 1941.

Tom grew up in Geneso, Illinois and in 1962 he met the love of his life, Jan, whom he married that same year. They moved together to Texas in 1978 when Tom started a new job endeavor in the transportation business.

For work, he owned his own transportation business. He also worked in real estate with his wife, Jan, and in his spare time, he volunteered for Cy-Hope/ Dierker's Champs as an umpire. What brought him the most joy was camping with his family, and fishing for trout in Missouri.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 62 years, Jan, who entered into rest just 157 days prior, as well as his mother, father, and brother. Left to cherish his memories are his 2 children, 6 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, and sister.

He will forever remain in the hearts of all who remember him and he will be dearly missed.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Cy-Hope/ Dierker's Champs non profit organization in Tom's memory.
