Roy was born November 2, 1930 in Pasadena, Harris County, Texas to parents, Wesley Olen Youngblood and Jessie G. Welch Youngblood. He moved to Liberty as a child and lived there with his mother after the death of his father.
Life was not easy in those days as Roy had to drop out of school to support himself and his family. Roy married the love of his life, Maxine Jackson, on October 1, 1949. They soon started a family and Roy left his job and started into business for himself. Roy would remain self-employed and self-sufficient the rest of his life. In his early career he founded Youngblood Farms and was one of the largest local egg producers in Liberty County where Youngblood Eggs were a staple in local grocery stores. In later years the business grew, evolved and became Youngblood Wholesale known for its beef, catfish and other fine foods and supplies.
Roy is survived by two sons, Jerry Youngblood of Edmond, OK, Allen Youngblood of Liberty, TX and one daughter, Sharon Keeter and husband Andy of Twin Falls, ID; three grandsons, Sam Keeter and wife Chelan of Yakima, WA, Tommy Keeter and wife, Elaina of Olympia, WA, and Will Keeter and wife Harley of Minneapolis, MN. He also leaves behind one great-granddaughter, Claire Keeter of Yakima, WA; one sister, Marylou Turbyfill of Dallas, TX; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
