Johnny Heath Youngblood 7/16/1971 – 2/21/2024

Johnny Heath Youngblood passed from this earthly life on February 21, 2024, at his home in Santo, Texas. Born to James and Elda Fowler Youngblood on July 16, 1971, Johnny was a cherished member of the Palo Pinto County community throughout his 52 years.

A proud graduate of Santo High School in 1989, Johnny furthered his education at Tarleton State University, where he earned a degree in Business in 1995. He spent the last twenty years as a respected insurance agent and touched the hearts and souls of so many of his clients.

On May 25, 1996, Johnny married the love of his life, Stephanie Ann Jenschke, and together, they created a beautiful family with a life filled with love and laughter. Johnny was the proud dad of Jaci and Abbi. He could light up a room with his smile when talking about his girls. They were the essence of his existence.

Johnny’s life was completely devoted to his Lord and spent time praising Him with his voice. He served God and others with his song leading, singing and sharing God’s word with anyone around him. Johnny enjoyed hunting, working with his sheep and most of all spending time with his family. Stock shows and sports played such a huge part in his life with his girls. He loved watching them work and succeed and was always right there cheering them on in life’s endeavors.

Johnny was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Henry and Marie Youngblood, and maternal grandparents, Leon and Zelma Fowler; uncles David Youngblood, Michael Youngblood, Edwin Fowler, and Jerry Jr. Fowler. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Stephanie Jenschke Youngblood; his beautiful daughters, Jaci and Abbi Youngblood; his devoted parents, James and Elda Youngblood; and his loving sister Jamie Maston and husband Jared. He was loved by the Jenschke family and leaves behind his father and mother-in-law, Stephen and Shirley Jenschke; four brother-in-laws and their spouses as well as one nephew and three nieces. Johnny will be missed by many friends, business associates, and clients.

The family will receive guests at a visitation Tuesday, February 27, 2024, at the Baum Carlock Funeral Home in Mineral Wells from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
