Dean Huff

Dean will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Mindy of 46 years, daughter Rachel, and grandchildren Logan and Ava of Lyons, Colorado; his brother Allen of Lubbock, Texas, sister Kay (Cloyd) of Pflugerville, Texas, and sister-in-law Ruth of Lyons, Colorado; as well as numerous other family members, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.

He is preceded in death by his parents Cecil Huff and Kathryn Molloy.

Born in Lubbock, Texas on February 9th, 1949, Dean was an avid classical musician from an early age. He held leadership roles in band and orchestra in high school and college, earning a Bachelor in Music from Abilene Christian College and a Master’s in Music at Baylor University while studying the history of organ music in Texas. His love of organ and sacred choral music was a lifelong passion, which he used to express and share his deep faith in God. His composition abilities eventually led him into the world of computer programming, which in turn led to a Senior Software Engineer role at Ricoh and a move to Lyons, CO with Mindy and Rachel in 1999. He retired in 2018 and spent his time enjoying nature walks with his family, participating as an active member and part-time organist at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and sharing his smile and funny stories with family and friends.

A funeral mass will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 3791 Pike Rd., Longmont, Colorado on Friday, November 20th at 10:30 am. A rosary will be held prior to the mass at 9:30 am at St. Francis. A livestream of the service is will be available using the link below.
