Mount Pleasant High School Class of '75

Hello! My name is Deanna Blackburn, one of Larry Blackburn's children. Recently we were digging through some old photos and found an invitation to one of the previous class reunions. Supposedly he was a part of MPHS's class of 1975. We hadn't known what school he attended until now, nor did he attend the reunions unfortunately, but my siblings and I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to inform his high school class that he passed back on November 16th, 2020 since we noticed they still actively have reunions. His obituary can be found here: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/grand-prairie-tx/larry-blackburn-9904922
If you or anyone in the group have any questions about him, I'm available on Facebook or through this email! Thank you!
