Jimmy was born on Sept. 15, 1962 at St. Joseph’s Hospital to Beverly and Jimmy Huffman. He sadly passed away on Sept. 7, 2024 in Cameron Park, Calif., with his daughters by his side.

Jimmy was born and raised in Eureka, where he met Debbie Huffman (Tomich). They married July 6, 1985 and went on to have three daughters together — Trisha, Katrina and Shiloh. He spent many years working for City Garbage here in Eureka.

If you were lucky enough to know him you know he would do anything for those he loved. Jimmy would give you the shirt off his back. He loved adventure and spending time with family and friends. Jimmy loved music and dancing, even if it was in his living room. He had the blessing of having seven grandkids that he loved and adored — Kailey, Anthony, Kira, Brooklyn, Bryson, Amiya and Addisyn.

The last few weeks of his life he was surrounded by those who he loved most — his mother, Beverly; his sister, Debbie; and brother-in-law Nick. Growing up Jimmy and Debbie had many fun times together. Debbie will always remember how her “Jimbro” would come in and kill spiders that were in her room no matter how late or tired he was. His daughters loved spending time with him in his greenhouse, picking vegetables and showing them how things grow. He would take his girls to the park to throw a football or down to the pier to go fishing. He will be remembered as the best son, brother, father, uncle, grandfather and friend.

Jimmy leaves behind his mother, sister, daughters, grandkids, nephew (Tyler), aunts and uncles and friends. He is proceeded in death by many grandparents, his father Jimmy Huffman Sr., daughter Katrina Huffman and granddaughter Amiya Huffman.

A celebration of life potluck gathering will be at the Eureka Womens’ Club at 1531 J Street Eureka on October 20 at 1 p.m. Please bring stories and/or pictures you have of him to share if you would like.
