The grandfather suffered severe burns to his face and arms in the explosion.
After nearly a month in the hospital, Valdez died on February 17, according to an attorney for his family.
The Valdez family has filed a civil lawsuit against Atmos Energy.
The Carrollton Fire Marshal says it was determined that a gas leak was the cause of the home explosion.
