Eugene Huff Obituary
He and his twin brother, Harold, were born at home to Claude and Maggie (Banks) Huff on Feb. 9, 1940, in Wayland, Kentucky (Floyd County).
On July 19, 1959 he married Ruth Elaine (DeCoursey) at St. Mary's Pilgrim Holiness Church, St. Marys. In response to a call to the ministry, he attended Frankfort Pilgrim College in Frankfort, Indiana and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, prior to beginning a pastoral ministry spanning many states and 55-plus years with his wife by his side, who provided continuous support. Eugene was a joyous person and throughout his ministry he was known as a humble, loving and compassionate minister, who unreservedly preached the gospel as the Holy Spirit directed, without regard to man's opinion.
He was preceded in death by his parents Claude and Maggie (Banks) Huff; brother Charles James Huff (Betty); twin brother Harold Dean Huff; sister Anne Laura (Huff) (Jim) Drummond and brother Harvey Darrel Huff.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth Elaine; children: Bruce Allen (Yvonne), Rebekah Joanna (Huff) Bell (Richard), Brian William (Deneen) and Brad Wesley (Thelma); grandchildren: Elizabeth Nicole (Huff) Lee, Adam Douglass Huff, Rachel Victoria (Huff) Parker, Rebekah Ruth (Bell) Vilches, Kimberlee Brooke (Bell) Seidel, Joseph Charles Glesge, Courtney Lenore (Huff) Mastenbrook, Austin Eugene Huff, Carson Michael Huff, Tiffany Jane (Huff) Casillas and Ashley Elaine Huff and several great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at the first Baptist Church, Blairsville, Georgia, where he was a member, at 5 p.m. on March 27. Dr. Fred Lodge will officiate and the service will be open to loved ones, family and friends.

In loving memory of the man who was not only my Father, but my friend, counselor, mentor and pastor. I will never forget how the joy of the Lord seemed to pour out of you in a hummed hymn or gentle, loving smile!
