Howard M. Blinn, Jr., 88, of Monaca, passed away on March 15th, 2025 at his home with his loving family at his side. Howard had an extended illness and his three grandchildren, Brandon Wrublesky, Mollie Dean, and Amanda Dean stood by his side every day and took great care of him. He was preceded in death by his loving daughter, Lynda Miller and his first grand-child, Crystal Klein. 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 69 years, Rosalinde, his children, Howard Blinn III (Leigh) and Sandy Dean (Ed), eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, eight great-great grandchildren, and his sisters Norma Jean Valent and Katheryn Alberti. 

Howard’s passion was his family and his yard. He enjoyed working with his hands and being out taking care of his yard and garden with his grandson Brandon always by his side working right beside his pap. Howard’s presence was strong and he was respected by all who knew him. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. His family meant the world to him, and he always put his wife first.
