Harold David Huffaker age 62 of Glasgow, Kentucky died on July 11, 2025. Harold was born in Louisville on April 27, 1963, but called the family farm in Monticello, Kentucky home for much of his life.
Harold was a retired mechanical engineer and could fix anything, but his true vocational passion was farming. He loved the family farm that had been handed down for generations. He often expressed how working the land and its beauty gave him a sense of God’s majesty. Harold was blessed to call Coral Hill Baptist Church in Glasgow, KY his church family, where he found christian brothers that bonded and cared for one another deeply.
Harold was married for 34 years, after eloping the day after Christmas in 1990. Melanie Burks Huffaker rode the same school bus as Harold, and he never imagined that one day he’d share a life with the girl he once refused to share a school bus seat with. Years later, their adventure began with a first date of ice skating and Thai food.
Harold is survived by his wife of 34 years, Melanie Burks Huffaker; two daughters, Hannah Clarice Huffaker of Liverpool, England and Katelyn Carol Huffaker of Glasgow; a brother, Michael Huffaker; brother-in-law, Richard Munsey; nieces and nephews, Amy Henderson (Jeff), Cassie Lester (Chris), Kellyn Martin, Morgan Dick (Gabe), Ronnie Masters (Karen), Christopher Huffaker (Sara), and Andrew Masters (Laura) Amy Henderson (Jeff), Cassie Lester (Chris), Kellyn Martin, Morgan Dick (Gabe), Ronnie Masters (Karen), Christopher Huffaker (Sara), and Andrew Masters (Laura).
Harold’s life was celebrated at Coral Hill Baptist Church on July 17, 2025. The Huffaker family would like to thank everyone from the bottom of their hearts for the outpouring of love and kindness during this time.
Arrangements were entrusted to Hatcher and Saddler Funeral Home.
