Barry Huff

Barry Anthony Huff, “Papa Bear,” 44, of Renfrew, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Aug. 3, 2021, with his wife and youngest grandchild by his side.

He was born Aug. 15, 1976, in Butler, the son of Steven R. and Jacquelyn Huff.

Barry graduated from Knoch High School in 1994, and Ohio Diesel Technical School in 1995.

Barry owned and operated Barry A. Huff Truck and Equipment.

There was never a problem too big or too hard; he always found the strength to push through until he solved the problem for his customer.

Barry will be remembered as a man of character, integrity, and for someone who always put his family and friends first. He had a heart of gold, and was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. You could always find Barry with the biggest smile and the loudest laugh at camp, around a fire, at the shop, or playing with the kids.

Surviving in addition to his best friend and wife, Brenda (Watterson) Huff are his parents, Steven R. and Jacquelyn Huff; his children, Landon, Justin, Barbara and Kenny; eight grandchildren; his sisters, Brenda Hartzel and Rebecca Traggiai; his brothers, Brian and Bruce Huff; and several nieces and nephews.
