Harold Lewis "Baby Huey" Tripp

Harold Lewis, “Baby Huey” Tripp was welcomed to his destination on Tuesday morning June 4, 2024. Huey was born May 30, 1943 in East Bernstadt Kentucky. 

Huey’s earthly home was in the seat of his truck wherever it took him.  He was a lifelong trucker and often said he had driven 6 million miles without an accident. Every mile he drove was with his Bible and his testimony of Jesus which he shared with everyone he met.  It was certainly no accident that upon leaving this walk of life he made heaven his home. 

Huey was preceded in death by his grandparents Charlie & Helen Ward and his mother Dorothy Ward Chestnut; brother Charles Ray. 

He is survived by lots of cousins.

Huey was blessed with a large extended group of people who became his family, Mark and Lisa Jeffers, Gary and Betty Seabolt, Jeff “Snowy” Goodman, Clyde Jeffers, Billy Glenn Kennedy, Jim Huckeby, his church family, trucking buddies at Kendrick and Tag, and many other friends that he loved like family. 

The family will receive friends Saturday, June 8, 2024 at Schubert Funeral Home in Wartburg from 12:00-2:00 p.m. with the funeral to follow at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Steve Gadd and Rev. Doug Morgan officiating.  Interment will follow in the Sunbright Cemetery in Sunbright. 

Pallbearers: Phillip Ward, Mark Jeffers, Daniel Jeffers, Josh Carter, Boyd Smith, Brad Huckaby, Joe Gadd, Rodney Byrd.
