Jason Shane "Hoss" Huff, 44, took the checkered flag in his final race against cancer on Friday, December 23, 2016 at his home in Liberty, SC.
The memorial service will be at 3:00pm on Wednesday, December 28, 2016 at Biggerstaff Retreat, 398 Biggerstaff Rd, Seneca, SC, immediately followed by a pitch-in dinner at the pavilion and a balloon release.
Born on September 28, 1972 at Carswell AFB, Fort Worth, TX, Jason was the son of Cynthia Andrews and the late Billy Huff. From an early age, his mother instilled in him a love for horseback riding and later hiking. In his teens, he became a certified lifeguard. He attended high schools in Alvin, TX and Olathe, KS where he excelled at Cornet as a member of the marching band, honor band, and jazz band second chair. A professional over-the-road trucker for over 20 years, he traveled the highways of our country in big rigs, 24/7, sometimes getting home only once a month. His career afforded him many opportunities to see and visit the most scenic vistas. Always generous with his knowledge, Jason became a driver trainer/instructor before illness forced his retirement.
Jason loved sushi, karaoke, motorcycles, cruises, fishing, the Clemson Tigers, and NASCAR. As a National Auto Sport Association (NASA) stock car driver, he raced with his #22 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in a number of NASA events throughout the Southeast.
In addition to his father, Jason was preceded in death by his uncle, Terry G. Andrews, and his niece, Sara Hitt.
Survivors include his wife, Toni Waddell Huff, his daughter, Chloe Huff, his wife's twin sister, Tammy C. Waddell, and his special niece, Grace Waddell, who was like a daughter to Jason, all of the home; his mother, Cynthia E. Andrews and stepfather, Gary M. Koven of Rock Hill, SC; his uncles, Armand E. Andrews (Connie) of Kingman, AZ and Daniel H. Andrews (Pat Tonkowicz) of Rock Hill, SC; his aunt, Cheryl Andrews of Sacramento, CA; sisters-in-law Laura Waddell of Central, SC and Donna Waddell Hitt of Central, SC; first cousins Ruth Andrews of Florence, SC; Benjamin Andrews of Rock Hill, SC; Amy Andrews Heidemann of Elk Grove, CA; Susan Andrews Chun (Hans) of Sacramento, CA; and many other members of his extended family.
