John Huss Obituary

John Avritte Huss Sr. JAMES ISLAND- John Avritte Huss Sr, 48, passed away on Tuesday June 22, 2010 after a courageous battle with colon cancer. He was born 4/14/62 in Tacoma, WA to the late Webb Hunter Huss Jr. and the late Barbara Smith Huss. John is survived by the love of his life of 25 years, Diane Keating Huss and the 4 greatest children in the world, Katie Lee (20), Margaret Keating (15), Christiana Paige (12) and John Avritte Jr (10). He is also survived by his siblings W Hunter Huss (Beth), Richard M Huss (Lauri), Barbara L Huss and Hoke C Huss (Teri) and his in-laws Schuyler Keating, Richard Keating (Louise) and Mark Keating (Margaret). He will be sadly missed by his 7 nieces, 9 nephews and 1 great-niece or nephew on the way. John graduated from Riverside HS in Greer, SC and The Citadel Class of '84 with a BA in English. He was an avid reader and knew something about everything. He worked in landscape and construction. He was proud to be a member of James Island Presbyterian Church where he found overwhelming love and was the cut-up tenor in the chancel choir. He cherished teaching Mid-Hi Sunday School and enjoyed Saturday Morning Bible Study (breakfast). He cherished coaching his son's soccer team where the point was to have fun and the wins were just an added bonus. John will be best remembered for his devotion to and protection of his family, upbeat personality and great sense of humor. The memorial service for John will be held at James Island Presbyterian Church 1632 Fort Johnson Rd Charleston SC 29412 on Saturday June 26, 2010 at 11:00 with a reception following at the church. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the James Island Presbyterian Church Music Fund. Visit our guestbook at www.postandcourier.com/deaths -

I just found out about John's passing today. John and I were in several classes at Riverside together and he was always such a cutup and so much fun. He was always smiling. He will be greatly missed.

Hi,Diane. Today I found out through Colonel about John having had colon cancer and passing away. I am so sorry about your children's loss and your loss. I always thought so highly of John and I think highly of you. I can't imagine the pain that you experienced and are experiencing. As you know, you were married to a fantastic man. I am so glad that y'all had four children together. I will pray for your family and you.

Jhon was a great friend and neighbor. I have yet to have good people like Jhon and diane as neighbors as i did when i lived across from them.I remember all the good times vollyball in the front yard,cookouts,partys it did not matter for who or what all were welcome to come. And piling into some gas hog or what ever was running at the time to the beach, downtown or just around the neighborhood. I did not keep up with Huss family but when i did come to town i would always try to come by to see them. He was a down to earth kind of guy and now he is in Heaven.
God Bless. Perry,Vickie and Michaella Kotlowski
