Chester “Craig” Huffman

On Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2022, Chester “Craig” Huffman was called home at the age of 63. The world has lost a great son, brother, husband, father and grandfather.

Craig was born in Blytheville to Chester Cooper Huffman and Betty Jane Metheny Huffman on May 25, 1959. Craig graduated from Armorel High School. He worked as a car salesman for over 20 years.

Craig was of Christian faith. Because he grew up in the small community of Huffman, he found solace in nature. He cherished the Smokey Mountains and loved to hike to waterfalls. He enjoyed traveling with his children while taking photographs of nature. Craig took much pride in smoking BBQ with his father at their service stations.

His parents, Chester Cooper Huffman and Betty Jane Metheny Huffman, preceded him in death.

Craig is survived by his children, Matthew and Jennifer Huffman of Blytheville, Nick Huffman, of Blytheville, and Angel and Jacob Parish of Blytheville; four grandchildren, Layla Huffman, Luna Huffman, Tuff Huffman and Jaxon Parish; two brothers, Greg and Laura Hatley, of Sparta Mo., and Ronnie and Debra Huffman, of Huffman community; a sister, Teresa and Mike England, of Huffman community; and other family and friends that will miss him dearly.

A memorial service will be held at Matthew Huffman’s house, 1804 Eastgate, Blytheville, on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 4:30-6:30 p.m.
