James Huddleston Obituary

James Patrick Huddleston
04/17/1981 - 03/07/2025
Jimmy was the youngest of three children to James (Jim) Huddleston and Sandra (Sandi) Nelson Huddleston. Jimmy was in the class of 2000 at Klein Forest High School, and he lived in the Klein school district most of his life. As a child he participated in all sports activities and formed many lifelong friendships. Of the many sports he excelled in, golf became his passion, and he continued playing at a high level (a friendly wager was always welcome!) as an adult making many lasting memories with his dad, brother and nephew on the course. Another passion, though not enjoyed nearly often enough, was a love of sport fishing.
He excelled in many sales positions throughout his life as he was extremely personable. Most recently, he joined MidAtlantic Finance Company in 2016 and later became their Houston Office Director of Sales where he forged enduring friendships with both customers and co-workers. Jimmy was recognized nationally numerous years as a top salesman.
On a personal level, his most satisfying accomplishment was being a dad to daughter Kali and son Tanner. They were his pride and joy.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his grandparents Charles and Margaret Huddleston of Kansas City, KS and Gerald and Mary Nelson of Tulsa, OK. He is survived by his children, Kali McLean (age 12) and Tanner James (age 8), his parents Jim and Sandi Huddleston. His loving sister Cassi Snoek and her husband Ian, along with their children JB (golfing partner), Sadie, Maizy and Zachary. His brother whom he always looked up to, David Huddleston and wife Erin, and their children Lucas and Audrey.
A memorial service will be held at St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church in the chapel on Friday, April 4 @11am.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Heart Association in Jimmy's honor.
Jimmy's infectious laughter, smile and wit brightened our world, and he will be forever loved and remembered.
