Roy Lane Blood passed away Saturday, September 11, 2021, in Denton, Texas at the age of 70.  He was born in Bunkie, LA on August 27, 1951, to father, Huey Pierce and mother, Genevieve Antonia Blood, and grew up in the area. After a kidney transplant in 1980, he moved to Texas.  Roy enjoyed working outside, especially on his tractors. In fact, he worked on his tractor so often it was second nature and family often joked that he was "one" with the tractor.  He also loved to go camping and spending time with his family and friends. Roy and his wife retired several years ago to a small farm in Collinsville, Texas.  He is preceded in death by his parents.

A Celebration of Life service is scheduled for 11:00am, Monday, September 20 ^, 2021, in the Chapel at the First Baptist Church of Midlothian, 1651 S. Midlothian Pkwy, Midlothian, Texas 76065. All are invited to attend.

A memorial and spreading of ashes service will be scheduled at the cemetery where his parents are buried in Louisiana at a future date.
