He was the oldest of six children, 3 brothers, Hubbert, Jim, and Pete, and two sisters, Rachel and Trilla. He married Billie Jean Fields on September 4, 1954. Huey and Billie Jean had two daughters, Sheila and Debbie. He adored his eighteen grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Huey was a coal miner and farmer. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, farming, trapping, going to church, cooking at the shack, eating his fresh vegetables, sharing stories with the breakfast club and family, wearing his overalls, watching westerns, being with his beloved grands, and visiting with his many, many friends. He was devoted to his wife and daughters. No better father or friend could anyone have than Huey. His laugh was contagious and his model of friendship is to be envied. People loved him for his generosity, his delicious summer crops, and his 11 acre pea patch. He will be remembered for his wonderful smile, quiet humble spirit, hard work, his strength, and for his genuine love for the Lord, his church, and family. He was baptized into Christ when he was 75-years-old. Huey leaves behind a host of precious family that he cherished.
