Huey was baptized into Christ as a youth and served faithfully in the church of Christ until his passing. He loved gardening and the outdoors. His joys were spending time with family and close friends, and attending worship services and bible classes.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of 55 years; his three daughters and sons-in-law; four grandchildren; two sisters; and a host of other beloved relatives, church family and friends.

Huey is remembered for his easy-going nature, his smile, gentleness, kindness and warm personality. He was a light to his beloved family and others. Huey will be truly missed.
