Paul Huffman

Paul Thompson Huffman, 64, Muncie, passed away on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2019, at Yorktown Manor with family by his side. 

He was born on Sept. 10, 1954, in Portland, Indiana, to Thompson L. Huffman and Carolyn J. (Antrim) Shroyer. He was a 1973 graduate of Dunkirk High School. 

Paul worked for Costa Leasing as both a driver and a mechanic and as a driver for Marsh Supermarkets. He was a member of the Teamsters Union.

Paul was a long-time member of Union Chapel Ministries, loved attending church and especially enjoyed praise and worship. He loved Bible studies and spending time in the Word. He enjoyed cooking, puzzles and skeet-shooting with his son Silas and daughter Kirsten. His favorite times were those spent with family and friends — get-togethers always filled with much laughter!

He is survived by his mother Carolyn J. Shroyer; four daughters, Kirsten E. Ireland (Brenda), Anderson, Indiana, Laura A. Huffman (Linus Roessner), Portland, Indiana, and Megan N. Huffman (Derrick Walker) and Nychole West (Clay), both of Yorktown, Indiana; three sons, Silas P.

He was preceded in death by his father; his step-father Dr. Herbert L. Shroyer; granddaughters McKenzie Rose and Summer Lily Walker; and a sister, Rita J. Zerbe (Steve).
