David William Huff, 60, formerly of Nederland, Texas, died Tuesday, November 13, 2018. He was born on January 25, 1958, to Mary Barbara Fallwell Huff and Lynas Anders Huff, in Port Arthur.

David was a machinist by trade and loved the outdoors. He loved guns and even machined a small cannon.

He is survived by sons, Christopher Jason Huff of Vidor, Texas and Tristin David Huff of Meadville, Mississippi; brothers, Mark R. Huff and wife, Nell and John P. Huff and wife, Shel, both of Beaumont, Texas; and one sister, Margaret Huff Ronquille and husband, David, of Sour Lake, Texas.
