Huie T. Yang

Huie T. Yang, 82, of Lexington, KY, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2026.

Born in 1943 in Jiangxi Province, China, Huie to the late Daniel and Louise Yang.  He lived a life marked by service, learning, faith, and deep devotion to family. He proudly served in the United States Air Force for 21 years, rising to the distinguished rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His military career reflected his discipline, leadership, and unwavering commitment to others.

A lifelong believer in education, Huie earned a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in Berea, Kentucky, a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Eastern Kentucky University, and a Master of Science in Public Administration from Troy State University. Following his military retirement, he continued to serve his community as a teacher, sharing his knowledge and love of learning with countless students.

In retirement, Huie found great joy in his work at Keeneland, where he was able to do what he did best: bring light, laughter, and kindness to everyone he encountered. Huie truly never met a stranger. His warmth, humor, and generous spirit made friends wherever he went.

Above all, Huie was a devoted husband, loving parent, proud grandfather, and faithful friend. He was passionate about his family, his friendships, and his church, Pax Christi Catholic, and these were the foundations of a life beautifully lived.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn Yang; his children, Len and Ru-an Williams; Daniel and Jeni Yang; his cherished granddaughter, Maggie Yang. His three brothers: Robert Yahng, Chris Yahng, and Michael Yahng , and their families.

Funeral services will be held at Pax Christi Catholic Church on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Visitation is 9am-11am and service starts at 11am.
