Huey was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend whose love for family and community touched many lives. He spent most of his life as a sugar cane farmer, taking great pride in his work. In addition, Huey served as a bus driver in Assumption Parish for twenty-five years, where he was known for his dedication and friendly spirit.

An active member of Cruising Cajun’s, Huey found great joy in traveling with his friends. He also loved dancing, cooking, gardening, and gathering with his loved ones for Sunday fish fries at the camp. His warmth, generosity, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures will be remembered by all who knew and loved him.
