We are saddened to report that we have lost a true visionary and a pioneer in the HVAC industry. On August 20, 2022, Terry Youngblood lost his bravely fought battle to cancer.
Mr. Youngblood had proudly been in the business for over 50 years.
Terry started his HVAC career in 1968 working for his brother-in-law, Byron Burnett, at Texas Improvement Company and started his own business, Year-Round Comfort, in 1971.
Over the years, he was awarded many accolades, awards, and received countless vacations for being “sales man of the year”.
Terry and his business partner, Jerry Jackson, co-invented the first-to-market filter base that changed the standard in the HVAC industry. In 1988, they co-founded E-Z Filter Base Manufacturing, Inc.
Their slogan for the 32 years in the E-Z Filter Base business never changed, “Homeowners convenience / Dealers Success / Saving Time & Money”.
Terry was admired and respected by both business colleagues and family members. He will be remembered for his honesty and work ethic and was a true entrepreneur. He was gracious and generous to all family and friends and will be missed dearly.
A joyous celebration of life was held in September. Donations in Terry Youngblood’s name may be sent to the American Cancer Society.
