Jason Wayne Huff
Epps, LA
Jason Wayne Huff passed from this life at the University Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 15, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.
Jason was born in Monroe, Louisiana on February 1, 1981 to Jerry and Onngaleah Huff. As a young boy, Jason was full of energy and outside was the place he always wanted to be. Getting dirty, shooting his BB gun, the World Wrestling Federation and going riding with daddy were some of his favorite things.
Jason attended Riverfield Academy where he focused his attention on socializing and playing football. From his perch next to teachers’ desks, he made sure his buddies were entertained in some way or another. Despite his mischievous nature, Jason was beloved by the faculty and staff because he was respectful, always owned up to his antics, and accepted consequences without complaint.
On the football field, Jason led a tough defense as linebacker. What he lacked in size, he made up for in pure grit and determination. He gave 100% and played sideline to sideline every minute he was on the field. His toughness, nose for the ball, and no quit attitude set him apart and earned him many honors and awards.
Upon high school graduation in 2000, Jason used the valuable skills he had acquired while working many summers and weekends alongside his father to begin his work as a plumber. As a Master Plumber and Master Natural Gas Fitter, Jason took great pride in building his business into one that would be known for getting the job done right the first time. He loved his customers, treated them fairly, and always tried to do the best job that he could for them.
It was also in the halls of Riverfield that Jason would meet the love of his life and future wife, Alana Jill Truelove. Their first date to Frank and Janie's in 1999 began a love story that would stand the test of time. They would make their forever home in East Carroll Parish and there, on the banks of Joes Bayou, would raise their sons, Colby and Carter. No matter how many hours Jason put in on the job each day or how hard the work was, he always had energy and time for his boys. He spent many many hours boat riding, setting and checking trotlines, fishing, frogging, and hunting with his sons. Despite his very demanding job, he never missed a baseball or football game his boys participated in. He took great joy in helping coach their p*e wee football teams. Every Friday night for the last 8 years he could be found anxiously watching his boys from the sideline. He was there after every game for a quick hug and word of encouragement no matter the outcome.
As an adult, Jason’s passion for Native American history grew and he became quite the expert in local artifacts. His love for arm wrestling and competition was renewed as an adult and for several years he traveled around, with his boys in tow, to compete in and win many competitions. Jason’s easy-going personality and patience paired with YouTube made him a jack of all trades. There wasn’t very much he couldn’t figure out or fix and he usually had his boys right there beside him, teaching them along the way.
Jason had friends from all walks of life as he treated each person he met with the same kindness and respect no matter their station in life. He had a heart for the less fortunate and always rooted for the underdog. His humble spirit is reflected in the incredible sons he helped raise.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 20 years Alana Huff, sons Colby Huff and Carter Huff, father Jerry Huff, mother Onngaleah Huff, sister Dawn (Joel) Weatherly, nieces Madison Truelove and Audrey Louise Weatherly, great nephew Stetson Ryder, father-in-law Freddie (Jami) Truelove, brother-in-law Andy (Jill) Truelove and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jason is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Rufus and Louise Huff, maternal grandparents J.D. Shiers, Bill and Audrey McGlothlin, and mother-in-law Judy Truelove.
Visitation will be held at the Archibald Church of Christ on Friday, December 19, 2025 from 12:00pm until funeral services begin at 2:00pm with Travis Arrant officiating. Burial to follow at Faith Memorial Cemetery, 7327 Highway 17, Delhi, Louisiana 71232. Under the direction of Brown-Holley Funeral Home, Rayville, LA.
Serving as pallbearers are: Quincy Allen, John Michael Herrington, Heath Hutchinson, Casey Mathews, Andy Truelove, and Joel Weatherly.
There are no words to adequately express how grateful the family is to the ICU nursing staff at Glenwood Regional Medical Center and University Medical Center. The loving and compassionate care that Jason received will never be forgotten.
