Robert "Bob" Huddleston, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at his home in Cincinnati on January 24, 2026, at the age of 87. He was born on August 24, 1938, in Byrdstown, Tennessee, and spent his life embodying love, family, and faith.

Bob dedicated many years to his career as a semi truck driver, a role that allowed him to enjoy the open roads while providing for his family. His commitment extended beyond work, as he took great pride in serving the community and his church, earning the title of Deacon. His proudest accomplishments included marrying his sweetheart Marie Antoinette "Toni," with whom he celebrated 70 wonderful years, and nurturing a legacy of family that continues to grow with every passing generation.

Those who knew Bob admired his great sense of humor and his unwavering honesty. He cherished the joys of life; he loved hosting his family for Christmas Morning Breakfast, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and warmth. Bob found peace in the simple pleasures as well, enjoying drives in the country with Toni, holding her hand, and sharing heartfelt prayers before bedtime.

Bob's commitment to family was evident in all facets of his life. He is survived by his devoted wife,Toni; his children Sherry (Jim) Russell, Doug Huddleston, Tom (Lora) Huddleston and Mark Huddleston; and his cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, totaling 16 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He is also remembered by his sister Reba Gilbert (the late Jim), along with many special nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his late parents, Burley and Ada Huddleston, and he leaves behind a legacy of love that will be cherished by all who were fortunate to know him.

A Memorial Gathering honoring Bob's life will be held on February 6, 2026, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, followed by a Memorial Service at 3:30 PM at the Western Hills Church of Christ, located at 5064 Sidney Rd, Cincinnati, Ohio. After the memorial, the family will host a reception in the fellowship hall. 

Bob Huddleston will be greatly missed but never forgotten, as his spirit and love for family, faith, and laughter continue to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were touched by his life.
