Elmo Blount

Elmo Blount of Corinth Texas passed away February 19, 2026. Elmo was born in Stillwater Oklahoma August 8, 1932. While at Oklahoma A&M, later named Oklahoma State University, he met the love of his life, Darlene Shaver. After graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering he and Darlene married and began their life together. Elmo was defined by his focus on family and love of engineering. In 1965 Elmo went to work for Mobil Oil and they moved to Irving Texas with their five children.

During his time at Mobil, Elmo had numerous patents with the highlight of his career in 1978 when he developed the Dynamic Kill method for blow out control which at the time set a new standard. Many of his team from that time meet annually to reminisce about their adventures together at Mobil.

While Elmo’s job required a great amount of travel often exceeding a month at a time there was never a feeling that he wasn’t available. Darlene was a formidable force running the family and when Elmo was home he never missed a ball game, ballet recital or teacher conference.

For Elmo, Engineer wasn’t a job title, it was who he was. At 93 never stopped learning and was constantly reading and loved to design tiny houses to be built on his property in Mexia. His world was Darlene and his family of five children, 14 grandchildren, and 12 great grandchildren.

He is survived by his bride of 71 years, Darlene, children Debbie Evers and her husband Dale, Erick Blount and his wife Lorna, Becky Prickett and her husband Braden and Chris Blount and his wife Sandi.

He is preceded in death by his parents Carlos and Esther Blount, his brother Doyne Blount and his son Dennis Blount.

Great-Grandchildren Amelia, Harper, Alanna, Maxtyn, Rhythm, Bleu, Lily, Avery, Casey, Logan, Val and Stella.

Special thanks to Kendall Jaynes who without her love and care, Elmo and Darlene would not have been able to remain in their home together.

Violet Alma Jauregui

In loving memory of Violet Alma Jauregui

July 2, 2006 – February 20, 2026

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Violet Alma Jauregui. Violet was a cherished young soul who left us far too soon at the age of 19 on February 20, 2026, in her beloved hometown of Denton, Texas. Her passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Born on July 2, 2006, Violet was not only a daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, but a kind-hearted soul to many. Her middle name, Alma, literally means soul.

Educational Background and Work History

Violet graduated from Billy Ryan High School, marking a milestone in her life as she was just beginning to navigate her path in the world with a wide, bright road ahead of her. She worked as a Sales Associate and proudly took on the role of Santa's Little Helper at Five Below during the Christmas holiday season, this embodied the spirit of joy and kindness that she shared with everyone around her.

A Creative and Courageous Spirit

From a young age, Violet found her expressive grace on the stage, shining as a ballerina and quietly overcoming her shyness. She later discovered her powerful voice in choir. During high school, Violet was a dedicated member of the choir. Her courage to perform vocally was a true testament to her determination and passion. Violet also volunteered in Football Operations, where she captured the best moments and the energy of Ryan football games through her photography and videography. Beyond the sidelines, Violet expressed her boundless creativity through the digital worlds of Roblox and Minecraft. She also found joy in singing and drawing. Whether through the harmony of song or the delicate strokes of her pencils and brushes, Violet's work was a vivid reflection of her soulful imagination, creative talents and artistic abilities.

A Life of Simple Joys

Her interests were as vibrant and diverse as her personality. Violet enjoyed singing, dancing, drawing, photography, gardening and nature. She wholeheartedly enjoyed spending time with her family and cherished babysitting her cousin, Lily. She found solace in watching Japanese animations and musicals, including favorites like Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter, My Neighbor Totoro, Sanrio's Pompompurin and Wicked. A lover of sweets and delicious meals, she delighted in Dubai Chocolate, Starbucks Coffee, and dining at Chipotle and the Olive Garden.

Joann Louise Jolly

Joann Louise Jolly (née Clibbens), of Denton, died on Saturday, February 21, 2026 at the age of 89.

Joann was born on August 11, 1936, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the first child born to parents Arthur and Ann (Knouff) Clibbens.

It was there in Steel City that she met Earl Edward "Bud" Jolly, who had recently served the Army in the Korean War. As the story goes, Joann and Earl were introduced by mutual friends but were off to a rocky start thanks to a less-than-romantic double date. However, after date number two, the sparks flew and they soon tied the knot on October 22, 1955. They were married for 60 years until Earl's death on April 9, 2016.

In the early 1960s, after the birth of their first two sons, the couple would relocate permanently to Earl's native Texas where two more sons and a daughter would follow.

A lifelong homemaker, Joann raised her five children in and around Denton County where she spent many years cheering on her children - and later grandchildren - who were active in many local sports. She was a fan of crossword puzzles and an avid reader. In recent years, she often spent time amongst the books in the library where she lived at Good Samaritan in Denton and was known to enjoy sifting through old photographs with her children, telling stories and reminiscing about old friends and family.

Joann was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Ann (Knouff) Clibbens; brothers Bob Clibbens, Bill Clibbens and his wife Judy, Jack Clibbens and his wife Ginny; brother-in-law Paul Pajewski; daughter-in-law Joan Jolly; and her beloved son Ronald Jolly.

She is survived by brothers Jim Clibbens and his wife Barb, Tom Clibbens and his wife Sandy; sisters Mary Lou Pajewski, Barb Mather and her husband Martin; sister-in-law Gerry Clibbens; her sons Robert Jolly and his wife Charlotte, David Jolly, Daniel Jolly; daughter Suzann Cowan and her husband Michael; daughter-in-law Patricia Jolly; seven grandchildren, Jessica Murdock and her husband Brandon, Clay Jolly and his wife Megan, Emily Richardson and her husband Korey, Christopher Cowan and his wife Caitlin, Elizabeth Jolly, Jared Cowan and his wife Afton, Russell Jolly; three step grandchildren; seven great grandchildren.

Aaron Roger Quy

"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of him." --- 1 Samuel 1:27

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Aaron Roger Quy, a beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend, whose kindness, compassion, and unwavering love touched the lives of all who knew him. He was 23 years old.

Aaron was born on July 8th, 2002 in Denton, Texas. From a young age, it was clear to everyone who met him that he was a person of exceptional character. He had a unique ability to make others feel loved and valued. His kind spirit, boundless empathy, and steadfast dependability were qualities that set him apart. Whether offering a helping hand or lending a word of encouragement, Aaron was always there for those in need.

As a child, Aaron played baseball, and his love for sports extended into his later years. His deep passion for tennis kept him on the court, while his time spent fishing offered him peace. Aaron also found joy in cooking, using it as a way to express his creativity and to bring people together. Whether competing on the tennis court or relaxing by the water, Aaron approached life with genuine joy.

A passionate and versatile music lover, Aaron had an appreciation for all genres of music. He could easily recognize musicians and their work, and his heart was deeply rooted in the music of the past. He treasured the melodies that shaped his life, finding comfort and meaning in them. Music wasn't just a hobby for Aaron---it was a passion of his, and he loved sharing it with others.

In addition to his love for music, Aaron was an avid movie watcher. He found joy in the art of storytelling through his favorite films.

Aaron was truly an old soul, possessing wisdom and gentleness far beyond his years. He gave the best gifts, always finding ways to surprise others with something that spoke directly to their hearts.

His family brought him immense joy, and his presence was a source of warmth and comfort for all who were lucky enough to be in his life.

Aaron graduated from Weatherford High School in 2020 and went on to attend the University of North Texas, where he earned a bachelor's degree in business in 2024. His education was a testament to his hard work, intelligence, and determination.

As a young man of deep faith, Aaron believed strongly in God and often turned to the Bible for guidance. His belief in the power of love, kindness and service to others guided every aspect of his life. His faith was a source of strength and comfort, and he lived each day with a heart full of compassion and grace. Aaron is now safe in the arms of Jesus, surrounded by peace and eternal love.

Worth; his aunt Rachel and uncle Lawrence McGinnis, aunt Kate Stabile, aunt Rita and uncle Walker Stabile, uncle NJ, all of Denton; and many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly, including cousins Hannah, Tommy, Scout, Cenobia, Sloan, John Walker, and Elia.

Cecil "Cy" Nathaniel Campbell, III

Cecil “Cy” Nathaniel Campbell III, 60, of Denton, Texas, passed away February 14, 2026, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer that began in 2023 and transformed to small cell carcinoma in late 2025. He faced his illness with faith and courage, often using the phrase as he walked the journey hand in hand with his wife. Together they overcame many obstacles before the battle became too difficult.

Born March 31, 1965, in Princeton, West Virginia, Cecil was the son of the late Nancy and Cecil Campbell. Born into a family where his father served as a Baptist pastor, his faith was deeply rooted; he accepted Christ at the age of 10 and often lived by the conviction that “with God, all things are possible.” His grandfather nicknamed him “Cy” after the great Cy Young — a name he insisted on from childhood, sometimes to the point of being counted absent in school when teachers called for “Cecil.”

Cy graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in criminal justice and served in the United States Navy. He worked for many years as an investigator in law enforcement before moving to Texas. Since 2003 he was a familiar presence at Sanger ISD sporting events, serving as the clock operator for junior high and high school football and basketball games.

An avid sports fan, Cy enjoyed reading, metal detecting, hunting, and fishing. Whether tracking down a relic with his metal detector, casting a line at Lake Ray Roberts, or sharing a story after a hunt, he savored simple moments. His hobbies reflected a curious, patient spirit and a deep love of quiet, honest pursuits. He was deeply proud of the students of Sanger, applauding each accomplishment. He supported his wife, Karen, unconditionally in all her endeavors as an educator; they were married for 23 wonderful years and were inseparable—where one was found, the other was often close by. Many who knew them described their love as unique, heartfelt, timeless, and lasting.

He is survived by his wife, Karen Campbell, of Denton; his sister, Diamond, of Sevierville, Tennessee; and many nieces, nephews, and friends who were touched by his friendship and love. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nancy and Cecil Campbell, and by an infant son.

A memorial service will be held at Sanger First Baptist Church on February 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., followed by interment at Hope Cemetery in Henrietta, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Sanger Education Foundation in Cy’s name to support the academic scholarship program. Please designate his name when donating. Envelopes will be available at the memorial and at the Sanger Education Foundation’s office.

The family welcomes friends to celebrate Cecil’s life, faith, and legacy.

Zachary Edwin Nelson

In Loving Memory of Zachary Edwin Nelson

May 29, 1981 – February 6, 2026

Zachary Edwin Nelson was born on May 29, 1981 in Dallas, Texas and passed away unexpectedly at his home in Krum, Texas on February 6, 2026. His sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Raised in Carrollton- Farmers Branch, Texas Zach attended R.L. Turner High School, where he formed lifelong friendships and displayed the natural leadership that would define his life. His talent and dedication on the basketball court earned him a full scholarship to Brown Mackie College in Salina, Kansas where he proudly played college basketball — a testament to his discipline, determination, and competitive spirit.

Zach never met a stranger. His warm smile, outgoing personality, and generous heart made him the light in every room. He lived life fully and joyfully, always bringing laughter and comfort to those around him.

From a young age, Zach learned the value of hard work while accompanying his grandfather on service calls for the family business, Nelson’s Heating and Air, earning the nickname “ZEN.” He later built a successful career in heavy machinery and generators, ultimately becoming a Generator Service Sales Account Manager — a role he loved and in which he excelled, building lasting relationships and earning great respect.

Zach found joy in hunting and fishing with friends and family, gardening, and keeping a beautiful home where loved ones always felt welcome. Above all, his greatest love was his family. His beautiful wife of nine years, Dariela, was his best friend and the love of his life. Together they shared adventures, travels, and countless cherished memories.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Dariela Nelson; his stepdaughters, Alexis Ordonez (Louis Anthony Ordonez Jr.) and Amber Lopez; his cherished grandson, Louis Anthony Ordonez III; his sister, Christina Nelson; his mother-in-law, Alma Perez; his brother-in-law, David L. Perez (Melissa Perez); and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He is now reunited in Heaven with his beloved mother, Rebecca Nelson; his father-in-law, Rufino Perez; his Aunt, Colleen Nelson; his Uncle, Mike, Brad, and Mark Nelson; his Grandfather, Lloyd Doll Nelson; his Grandmother, Geraldine Josephine McMains Nelson and many other loved ones.

Though his time here was far too short, the love Zach gave and the lives he touched will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.

Special Message from His Wife

My Sweetest Zach,

From the moment you came into my life, you made it brighter. You were my strength, my protector, my best friend, and the love of my life. You loved deeply, laughed loudly, and gave your whole heart to the people around you. You never met a stranger, and you made everyone feel important. I admired your dedication, your work ethic, and the pride you took in everything you did — whether building relationships in your career, tending your garden, or spending time with your hunting buddies. But what I loved most was the way you loved our family. Thank you for loving me the way you did. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the life we shared. I will carry your love with me every single day. Though my heart aches without you here, I find comfort knowing you are reunited with your precious mother and our family in Heaven. Until the day I see you again, I will honor you by living with the same kindness and strength you showed the world.

Fly high, my love.

Forever yours, Dariela
