Maunty Collins

Maunty C Collins passed peacefully to his heavenly home on Thursday, October 23, 2026 at the age of almost 84. He was living in Plano, TX.

During high school at Alamo Heights he played football and sang with the chorus and continued to work in the grocery store business from the age of 12. He graduated from both in 1962.

Eventually, he married his high school sweetheart, Diane Dixon. They had two beautiful daughters during their marriage.

He tried his hand at sales, actually going from business door to door all over Southern Texas. His persistence and hard work paid off as he was given the title of Top Salesman in the Pitney Bowes Company more than once. He made many great memories as his “best friend” and cousin, Jerry, worked along with him.

During these busy years, Maunty faithfully attended his meetings of the Scottish Rite Masons in San Antonio, TX.

In 1974 Maunty made a life-changing move to Las Vegas NV. He worked at a variety of places before his luck changed. In 1976 he began working for the Boyd Gaming Corporation as the person who unloaded the meat truck. 30 years later he retired as Senior Vice President/Director of Operations, Central Region of Boyd Gaming.

Maunty has kept his love of singing all his life. He enjoyed working with people, building casinos, training employees, and when time permitted going to movies, taking photos, traveling, being with family and learning. He was still taking piano lessons at 80! Always a kind and generous man everyone became a friend to Maunty.
