Ron Huff

Rondal Dean “Ron” Huff, 80, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 7, 2023. He was a Christian.

Ron was born in Johnson City on September 13, 1942, to the late Thomas Clark Huff and Rosella Brooks Huff. He went on to serve his country in the U.S. Army and was a proud Vietnam veteran.

He enjoyed photography and being a ham operator. He also loved to take trips to Florida or travel through the Blue Ridge Parkway, which he called God’s Country.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister, Fran Burleson.

Those left to cherish his memory include: his loving wife and caretaker, Cathy Hicks Huff; two children, Scott Huff and wife Leslie, Kristi Hicks and husband Scottie; three step-children, Amber Laughlin and husband Nick, David Henegar and wife Candida, and Shonda Colton; two grandchildren, Matthew Huff and Abigail Huff; 13 step-grandchildren and five step-greatgrandchildren; and one special nephew, Len Burleson; Jordan Ellison, who he thought of as a grandson, as well as the always helpful Sam and April Ellison, who Ron cherished and appreciated.

A graveside service will be held for Ron at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at Monte Vista Memorial Park, officiated by Sam Ellison. Military honours will be rendered. Those attending are asked to arrive at the graveside by 11:50 AM.

Special thanks to Shonda Calton and Jordan McCrary for being with Ron and Cathy this past month, and to Ballad Hospice and the Veteran’s Administration for their care.
