To the Family and Friends of Mr. Blunt. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts not only today but also in days to come. Mr. Blunt was a phenomenal man and professor. There were many days I would go by Mr. Blunt's office to have a laugh, eat a curly burger, or help him grade tests. Over the years, I constantly searched social media to reach out to him to say "Thank you" but never seemed to come across his profile. May Almighty God gently guide your soul home.
To the Family of Mr. Blunt: Mr. Blount was one of my professors at South Carolina State University(class of 1983). He was a great teacher and a funny teacher. Our class was never dull. He will always be in my heart and the great memories. Sending my prayers and condolences to the family. Della Taylor Hubbard Class of 1983 SCSCU Bulldogs!
Now, you are at peace with God.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
