Mr. Freeman was a proud member of the Teamsters Union, delivering freight all around the southeastern US for Western Auto and Roadway companies. Mr. Huey loved to share stories about his growing up in the Meehan community as well as tales of hunting and fishing. In his later years, he could be found riding around the community on his side-by-side stopping to visit with neighbors and friends.

He is survived by his children, Randy Freeman (Suzanne) of Stonewall, Rhonda Harris of Hickory and Greg Freeman (Kimbraly) of Meehan; grandchildren, Heather Hatcher (Ben), Brian Freeman (Coty), Brent Freeman (Danielle) and Amy Hillman (Caleb Haney) all of Enterprise, Amanda Whitman (Danny) and Melissa Harris of Hickory, and Daniel Freeman of Meehan; 17 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren; a sister, Delois Burnett of Union, sister-in-laws Barbara Little (Gene) of Pascagoula and Maureen Smith (Lanoyte) of Causeyville, and a large extended family.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Glenda Joyce Snowden Freeman; his parents, Emory "Cricket" and Dollie Freeman; brothers, Doris Freeman, Laverne Freeman, DL Freeman, Arthur Freeman, and Ray Freeman; sisters, Oneida Blackwell and Hazel Mabry; and great-great grandchild, Boston.
