Obituary for John W. Huber Jr. April 22, 1953 - August 23, 2023
John W. Huber, Jr., age 70 of Milton, DE, passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer, on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at Delaware Hospice Center. He was born on April 22, 1953, in Olney, MD, son of Eleanor Huber of Westminster, MD and the late John W. Huber, Sr.
John graduated from Westminster High School, Class of 1971. He was a brick and stone mason by trade and dedicated many years to his career. An avid outdoorsman, John loved to hunt and fish. His green thumb was evidenced by his beautiful gardens and meticulously kept yard. John had a true passion for studying Civil War history and spent many years participating in several reenactments. He was a talented artist who was always sketching, and one could always find his drawings laying around, left like surprise gifts. He was a lover of all animals and truly enjoyed the many creatures in his care. John had an incomparable sense of humor; he relished playing jokes and pranks and had a way of teasing that was always good natured. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, Daddy John, and friend who will live on forever in our hearts and memories.
John was preceded in death by his father, John W. Huber, Sr.; and his brother, Walter Huber. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Barbara Marsh Huber of Milton, DE; his children: Zachary Ward (Lisa) of Manchester, MD, and Lauren Shahan (Lee) of Hartly, DE; his stepchildren: Billy Hocker (Annie) of Rehoboth Beach, DE and Beth Wright (Jevon) of Gainesville, VA; his grandchildren: Kylie, Jaxson, Will, Jaylen, and Jace; his sister, Pamela Huber Schaeffer (Noah) of Westminster, MD; his brother, Bruce Huber (Teresa) of Westminster, MD; his niece, Heather; and many other nieces, nephews, extended family, and close friends.
A visitation will be held on Friday, September 8, 2023, from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM, at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.
