Stan Huggins

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, teacher and coach, Stan Huggins, 73, of Bloomfield, Iowa passed away on December 28, 2022 at the Davis County Hospital. He was born on December 1, 1949 in Bloomfield to Floyd and Golda Garmon Huggins and was the eleventh of twelve children. Stan attended Davis County Schools where he met the love of his life, Debbie. They were married on November 17, 1967 in Bloomfield and had two children, Michelle and Matt. Stan attended Northeast Missouri State University where he wrestled and earned his teaching degree in 1972. He began his teaching career in 1973, and spent 43 years in the Davis County Community School District as a P.E. and At-Risk teacher. He also coached countless athletes in biddy wrestling, middle school wrestling, high school football and track. One of his great honors was having the new throwing field named after him, the Stan Huggins Field of Rings. Through his teaching and coaching, he influenced more Mustangs than he realized. Stan spent many summers working with good friend, Orville Rupe, painting many houses and buildings in Bloomfield. Stan spent many hours in pursuit of a trophy buck with his brother, Tom. He loved to fish and thoroughly enjoyed teaching his grandchildren, Colton, Mason and Olivia, how to catch a monster bass. He also loved his morning coffee, “scratch offs,” and his trips to the casino. Stan was a wonderful poet and quietly shared this talent with others. His greatest love, however, was supporting his family and friends in any way possible. Stan will be remembered by many for his fierce determination, amazing compassion, and generous spirit. He is survived by his wife, Debbie Warning Huggins; daughter, Michelle Grove of Bloomfield; son, Matt (Jennifer) Huggins of Kansas City; three grandchildren, Colton (Teagan) Roberts of Mitchellville, Iowa, Mason (Colton) Herrick of Bloomfield, Olivia Grove of Bloomfield; six siblings, Oma Munn, Dwight Huggins, Ron (Pat) Huggins, Harold Huggins, Max (Tonya) Huggins, Gary Joe (Pam) Huggins; three sisters-in-law, Marietta Huggins, Janice Huggins, Sue Myers; four brothers-in-law, Rusty Grinstead, Gary (Jeanne) Warning, Doug (Sandy) Warning, and Rick (Kendra) Warning; and dozens of nieces and nephews.
