Douglas Carl Huble, 54, passed away on October 8, 2019, in Houston, TX. Doug was gifted into the world on June 8, 1965, in Houston, TX as the fifth child to parents Anton “Popsi” and Barbara Huble proving that you always save the best child for last. Doug was the life of the party who could always be found wearing his signature ensemble: a sleeveless t-shirt, cargo shorts, and crocs topped off with a Keystone Light in-hand (maybe two). In fact, Doug loved his Keystone so much, it is rumored that he single-handedly convinced the Valero down the street from his house to always keep a 24-pack cold for him.
Doug spent most of his life on the water, never passing up a good sunset on the boat with his wife. In 2014, he and Julie fulfilled a lifelong dream of living on the water when they moved to the San Jacinto River and opened up their home to countless parties and even more lifelong memories.
Doug was a natural-born delegator. He worked as a supervisor at Ryder Trucks and loved the act of delegating so much, that he always made sure to come home and supervise his children as well over everything from towel folding, cleaning out the gutters, mowing the lawn, cleaning the bathroom…basically any household chore he didn’t want to do. While working full-time at Ryder for 34 years, Doug also made time to be involved in his community. He loved coaching his sons playing baseball and basketball at the Oaks Dad’s Club as they grew up and filled his life with neighborhood parties, bowling league, and a large group of friends and family.
Doug was a friend to many and a stranger to none, he goes by many names, “Uncle Doug”, “Douggie fresh”, “Puff”, “Dad”, “Husband”, “Pawpaw”, and most famously “Big D Huble” on Instagram. You could spot Doug at the edge of any crowd, leaning against a pillar or wall, beer in hand, making a new friend or cracking up with an old one.
Doug is survived by his wife, Julie Huble, the love of his life and best friend. They shared a life of 33 years filled with love, dancing, two strong, stubborn sons, and two grandbabies who he adored. He is also survived his sons Cameron Huble his wife Jamie, and their two children Hayden and Hannah, and Spencer Huble and his wife Megan Ludzenski, mother Barbra Huble, sister Cheryl Lanclos and her husband Robert, brothers David Huble and wife Vicci, Robert Huble and wife Teri, and Gary Huble, sister-in-law Amy Grimes and husband Herman, brother-in-law Greg Artz, sister-in-law, Emily Artz, and numerous nieces and nephews: Robin, Nikki, Jason, Adam, Travis, Riley, Drew, Kelsie Farmer, Leigha, Brandon, Cori, Robert, Ashly, Collin, Donald, and Kelsie Wilkins.
