Christopher Allen Blount

Christopher A. Blount, 65, of Deltona, FL, passed away on March 1, 2025. Born on April 29, 1959, in Sigourney, Iowa, Chris lived a life filled with love, passion, and dedication to the things and people he cared about most.

Chris was the beloved soulmate of nearly 25 years to Kathi, with whom he shared a deep and lasting love. He was a devoted father to his son, Joshua (Audrey) Blount of Cedar Rapids, IA, and a father figure to Keith (Nicole) Proesch of Ankeny, IA, Kevin Proesch of Indianola, IA, Nathan Kelly of Cedar Rapids, IA, Crystal (Brad) Robideau of Circle Pines, MN, and Brad (Kim) Lloyd of Downingtown, PA. He cherished his bonus grandchildren, Sophia and Liam Proesch, along with Hailey, Sarah, and Addie Lloyd.

Chris was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy, and his father, Eugene. He is survived by his siblings, LaRae (Steve) Rudin, Deb (Stan) Grimm, Les (Karen) Blount, and Robin Darling. He also shared a fun-loving and cherished relationship with Kathi’s mother, Judi, bringing laughter and joy to their family.

A man of many passions, Chris had a lifelong love for semi-trucks, which led him to a career as a skilled diesel mechanic. He also had a deep appreciation for anything mechanical, especially Ford vehicles. Chris was always eager to talk shop, sharing ideas he had for his Mustang or pickup. He loved to tinker in his garage or in his Man Shed, always working on a new project or fine-tuning something to perfection. One of his greatest joys was riding his Harley-Davidson with his friends, finding freedom on the open road.

Chris will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those he loved and those who loved him.

A celebration of Chris’ life will be held at the Spring House at Gemini Springs Park in Debary, FL on Sunday, March 23rd at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to any animal shelter of your choice.

Ride free, Chris.
