Raymond Dexter Huff Jr. was 64 years old and lived in San Angelo, Texas until his un-timely death on December 13th, 2021. He passed away with acceptance and peace at his residence in San Angelo, Texas.
Raymond was born on May 31st, 1957, in Limestone, Maine. His parents were Bessie Huff and Raymond Huff Sr. and was raised on the North side of town in the Lake View area. He had three sisters named Sally, Shirley, Debbie, and a brother named Robert. Raymond married Windilina R. Huff on April 15th, 1976. When he was younger, he went to school at Lincoln Jr. High and Graduated from Lakeview Highschool. Raymond attended one year at Angelo State University and multiple schools throughout his military career in the United States Air Force. He left the military service with Honorable Service as a weapons specialist in the rank of Sergeant. His hobbies were spending time with family, fishing, watching sports such as basketball (Lakers), football (Dallas Cowboys). When he was younger, he loved teaching his son how to play sports (football, baseball, basketball, swimming).
Raymond is survived by his son John M. Huff and his wife Kimberly A. Huff; his granddaughters Bella, Sophia, Layla, and soon to be born baby Alita Huff; his sisters Shirley Lawrence, and Debbie Phillips; and his nephews Dustin Huff, Christopher Lawrence, Bryan Phillips, and his niece Kelsey Guerrero. He was widowed by Windilina R. Huff on March 19th, 2006.
A memorial was held on December 18th, 2021, located at his sister Debbie’s house. His son John was the Speaker and along with his aunt and family they hosted a small memorial with close friends. Raymond will be cremated, and his ashes will be spread across the ocean in the same manner that his wife was in order to be together once again.
A GOFUNDME account was opened to help his son with all arrangements. John would like to thank all his family members, his Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers, his military family of the United States Army Divers (7th, 74th, 86th, 511th, and 569th Detachments), and all the friends that know John and his father for the continued support and love everyone has shown the family during this time. A life lesson was learned during this time, and it was to talk to family, know your family, be family. Talk to friends, know your friends, be a friend because they are who help shape your life whether it is from something good or bad, you will learn from it. In a blink of an eye, people leave this world and if you are unable to talk or help to the ones you care about you create the “What if?”. Avoid the “What if?” by talking to the ones you care about, even if it’s a simple five-minute conversation. That moment in time could help someone out and eventually they could in return help others as well. Three words that described Raymond Huff was that he was always “Dedicated to Sacrifice”. He continuously sacrificed time with family to ensure that they were taken care of. He would sacrifice everything just to be with the ones he loved most.
