My Dr.Huber story: a few years ago on Mother’s Day weekend my crown fell out of my mouth. I was at a piano recital and the Huber family was there. It was a Friday night and I would have had to wait all weekend without that tooth! Dr.Huber said come on over to my office and I’ll glue that back in for you. I knew him from St.Joe but never saw him as a orthodontist. He was so kind to me.❤️ #trueactofkindness

The world has a hole that shall never be filled. We all have a hurt that will never resolve. Steve was a true giant among men, larger than life. Always with a smile and a quick wit, he never seemed to have a bad day. My heart aches for his family and their loss. I am forever grateful to have called you my friend. We will see each other again someday. Rest In Peace.

He will be deeply missed! Honestly he was the best orthodontist in the world in my opinion! He was so caring about his clients and treated them as if they was his own family! My heart breaks for the family and coworkers! ❤

Dr. Huber was such a joy to be around and this town is full of his smiles to prove it. He always let you know how proud he was of you and always had a smile on his face. This world was a better place with him in it and his passing has left a huge hole in this communities hearts. RIP doc!

It’s been years since I’ve seen Dr Huber but he was the best! He had just opened his practice when I started going to him. So different than any doctor office I’d been to… Young, fun and a fabulous orthodontist. My sympathies to his wife and children…i can’t imagine what you’re going through. But he was loved and will be missed.

My daughters Jamie and Kristen were orthodontic patients. Dr. Huber was absolutely the best professional and person one could hope to meet. He definitely took care of their orthodontics work very well. And in so doing his practice was always a very joyful and loving place. He, his wife, and staff were simply incredible. Our hearts go out to his family, staff and our entire community on our shared loss of him. May God wraps him arms around his wife, children, extended family, staff and friends during our incredible grief. May our lights and generosity shine as brightly as his did.

I remember when I got my braces and thinking how much my teeth/smile has changed over the years. Dr. Huber was always so sweet to me. About a few years after I got my braces off he asked me “what do you wanna do when you grow up?” I said “I’d like to learn photography!” And he said ” my daughter does photography.” He said how beautiful of a young lady I have become over the years. I am gonna miss him so very much. To his family, I am so sorry. I’ll keep you guys in my thoughts.

My condolences. My wife and I have been patients of his for years now. He was always good to us and our kids when we came in. It was truly an honor to know him and we will miss him dearly.

I’m so very sorry to hear about this. He was such a great man. He was the best in his practice. I will never forget him rushing into his office at 6pm on a Friday night when I was in an accident that displaced one of my teeth. He didn’t care about office hours or the day of the week. He was unselfish in everything he did.

Every part of me wanted this information to be untrue. Dr. Huber was so connected to his patients. He spent time knowing them. Years went by between my two daughters having braces then my son. He picked up right where we left off always remembering the kids and what they were involved in. I think about how much personal interest he showed in each one. We will miss him! Prayers for the broken hearts of his family, his staff and all who knew him.

Both of my girls are patients of Dr Huber. I first met met Dr Huber about 15 years ago when I took my oldest daughter in for a consult for her cleft palate. At the time at the time we were having a hard time finding anyone willing to work with her. I love how honest he was about everything and what to expect. I am always amazed by how great her teeth look because of him. My family will miss him dearly.

My family is deeply saddened by this loss. Words cannot express our feelings for the family and those closest to him. Both of my kids were currently in his care. He was my orthodontist many years ago as well. He was able to straighten my teeth without braces; so forward thinking. All three of us owe our beautiful smiles to this man!! His office team was such a joy to visit; a fun, upbeat atmosphere. He was always interested in what purse I was carrying. He was “in the know” on the latest; it was so funny! He would also “brag” about his handy-work as we talked about my daughter’s alignment and beautiful face. The world is truly a sadder place without him….

It was always clear that Dr Huber was not only a good doctor but an excellent man. He always made others feel valuable and important. He saw people and always had a smile to share! We are so saddened by this news, our thoughts and prayers are with Dr Huber’s family and staff.

Dr. Huber was my orthodontist years ago . He was so nice and friendly and always put my mind at ease and made me smile. Such a great man who will be missed dearly.

Dr. Huber was my husband Shawn and his brother Chad’s orthodontist. in fact I told Dr. Huber Shawn’s smile was the first thing I noticed about him and he owed Dr. Huber. Both of my kids went to him. In fact we just saw him for Grace’s appointment on March 5. His practice was a true family. He surprised us with a donation to the Versailles Wrestling Club. He was telling his how much he loved this time of his practice and 2nd generation patients. Prayers for his family, employees and patients. We love you Dr. Huber. Everything my family smiles I will think of you.

There are four beautiful Dr. Huber smiles in this photo (the four oldest). We spent fifteen years taking Kramer babies to his office! He was such a great, personable, generous, kind hearted man and even as of recent he never forgot our family if we bumped into him somewhere! I absolutely loved getting into deep conversations with him……I remember one particular conversation after he lost his mother and he said something like it’s an ache that won’t go away—I told him I don’t think that ache is ever supposed to completely heal and that you just have to make friends with it……..Now we will all have an ache from the loss of Dr. Huber….Rest peacefully my friend. Deepest Sympathy to his family. Your friends, Mary Kramer & family

We loved Dr. Huber! He was orthodontist for 2 of my children and 2 of my grandchildren. My heart is hurting for his family and employees. He was very friendly and personable.

My deepest Sympathy to all the family. May God be with the family.

Thomas I am so sorry to rear about your brother.

So sorry to hear! He was my sons orthodontist. He was kind, gentle and very thorough in his profession. Prayers being sent.

He changed my smile and my life! He gave me a love for helping others and changing lives through dentistry. Prayers for his family and all hurting during this difficult time.

I felt like an uncle had passed away when I heard about Steve. We had been praying for him daily but understand that God’s will doesn’t always make sense at the moment. I knew Steve for years as a parent at SJCS, as the guy who straightened my kids’ teeth, but most importantly, as a friend. His passing will resonate for some time, and our prayers continue for him and his great family during this sad time in their lives.

Diane and Bruce Weyenberg–Our family is just in tears over the loss of this wonderful man-He made so many people happy and helped so many youngsters be proud of their smile-he was my son and daughters dentist and did wonders–Surely, he is in a heavenly place and may he rest in peace–we are the ones now suffering. God bless…

You will greatly missed… The man who fixed my smile 27 years ago… Who was fixing my children’s smiles. You friendly, kind, and caring personality will always be remembered… To Janye and the children: Our deepest sympathies… Prayers, and may God carry you through this valley. We care, Liz Stauffer

I would like to add my condolences Tom and to the rest of the family. Jim Convery (MOARNG Retired)

My sincerest sympathies for your family. Dr Huber was my and my children’s orthodontist and he was the nicest and most caring guy. He will be greatly missed by the whole community.

Dr. Steven Huber was one of the kindest and loving humans I know. A great friend and mentor to me. My big brother and I both went to Huber to get our teeth fixed. We were one of his very first clients; Huber was fresh out of college. Years later, I walk in for the first time with my own daughter, Hailey and then Sarah later on. At our first consult, he sits us down to tells us how my family was a HUGE influence on how he does business today. How his mother said to him he needed to get his head out of a text book (now that he was out of training) that he needed to learn how to work with each family on how much we could afford to pay, but handle each patient on a case by case basis. This type of stuff you can’t learn from a text book. After all, two siblings in braces was very expensive!! Huber told me when I first walked in the door, he took one look at Hailey and it was like looking at me all of those years ago. It brought back all of those memories of how my family was one of the biggest influences to him and why/how he handles his business today!!! We were in shock and awe as he went on and on about telling us this inspiring story. I could just feel the love for us oozing out of him as he was sharing this incredible and real story. Both mine and Hailey’s teeth issues were identical. He even had his office manager go down to archives to go pull my file and the first moldings on my teeth from when I was 13 years old. 13!! We were in shock that he still had these!!!! Bill and I see my first molding sitting there in front of us and he shows us the comparison of Hailey’s. My teeth mold and Hailey’s were identical. It was unbelievable!! He showed us so much love and respect… he said…I just love you guys so much. I responded by saying that I loved him too!! When Sarah is finished with her braces, we had planned on taking a picture of him, myself, and both of my girls. He loved that idea and said he wanted a copy for his desk to frame. We are a very special case to him. He treated us like family, he was a father figure to me. However, we never got to take that picture and Sarah’s teeth remain unfinished. Another time/appointment, we talked about my girls going on mission trips to Acuña, Mexico to build houses for families who didn’t have one. He said to me “I guess that’s all any of us can do is try and make the world a better place and when it’s my time to go, it’s my time to go.” He now has gained his angel wings. He was so supportive during our times of hardships and would check in with us any time he could. I loved going into his office because it was such a happy place and I got to see one of my favorite humans, Steven Huber. COVID-19 may have taken his earthly life but his eternal life is now with the Lord. I can honestly say that my life will never be the same without my friend, Steven Huber. ߘ¢ This may not make sense as I have tears streaming down my face as I’m typing this. But I think you’ll know what I mean. I love you Dr. Huber. We will see each other again one day. I have one of the biggest hearts. When I love someone, I love big! When my big heart gets broken, I hurt big. Sarah will get her braces finished some how, but it will never be the same without him. I have so much love and respect for this man. My heart and prayers go out to his family. Praying for you all.

The Huber’s have been family friends for more than 30 years! This is so sad ߘ­ and tragic! I was Dr. Steven Huber’s 1st orthodontic patient in 1986 when I was 14 years old. Infact, I think he still uses my mold and has our photo in his office. It’s ironic that he was responsible for my perfect smile, but today he’s also responsible for my frown. ☹️ I still remember him taking me to lunch before he put my braces ߘ¬ on and told me that I better enjoy the freedom of not getting food caught in my teeth. He had a good sense of humor and a kind soul. I love ❤️ you Huber family and am praying for you during this difficult time. ߙ P.S. This photo was taken of me after I got my braces off by Dr Huber in 1989.

He was my daughter’s and my orthodontist, his friendly smile, and compassionate personality made going to the orthodontist much more pleasant. So sad to hear of his passing. Sending heartfelt sympathy to his family. The world has lost a kind man, and a great orthodontist.

Dr. Huber, we will miss you, your conversation, your smile! You made us feel welcome, like family and friends, during our visits. I am thankful for you and the wonderful ladies in your office! I wish health and peace for your family and friends. ❤️

My family and I are sending our deepest condolences to Dr. Huber’s family, office staff, patients, and friends. It is a terrible loss and this man will be truly missed in our community. He always had a welcoming smile and a genuine heart. His patience was unwavering and he was very loving to anyone he met. What a wonderful orthodontist he was to our girls! Dr. Huber always treated my husband Rich and I with utmost respect and was kind to us all. May God’s richest blessings of love embrace his family and loved ones, they will be kept in my prayers. Rest In Paradise, Dr, Huber! It saddens me so for this to have happened to you. We planted a tree in your memory.

Our deepest condolences and prayers of comfort with the Huber family.

Prayers going out to the Huber family.

My condolences to Jayne and the children at this difficult time. Our son is currently attending dental school at UMKC and my hope is that he follows in the footsteps of Dr. Steve, being a mentor and community leader loved by everyone.

Whitney and family, My heart goes out to you today and always. Emily Edger, Michigan

Dr. Huber was always a joy to be around!! Loved his sense of humor, generosity and care for his patients. I pray for the repose of his soul and my prayers go to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Huber took my young son,Devin, under his wing when we lived in the same apartment building. Later becoming Devin’s orthodontist. Then when Devin passed, Dr. Huber, his mom, and staff propped me up with a letter and photograph. I got the letter and photo out last night. Thank you for that, Dr. Huber, his mother and staff (April 10, 1988). And later Dr. Huber became my daughter’s and grandsons’ orthodontist I think of all the perfect smiles walking around because of Dr. Huber. My family is better for having known him. My deepest condolences to his wife, children, and the rest of his family. And thank you. Kinda (Hughes) Gentry

I’m so very sorry and I hate that this has happened to his wife, family and friends. I just can’t believe it. My deepest condolences and prayers to everyone who was close to him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, but I worked with his brother at Ft. Leonard Wood until life brought us to Jefferson City where I always heard people speak highly of him. His loss will surely be felt throughout the community.

Dr Huber was always so kind and gracious when our family would come in. My son had been a patient of his for almost 5 years and always been treated with care. I’ll never forget when I had our youngest and brought her in for the first time. He told me how sweet and beautiful she was, and that I couldn’t come in anymore unless I brought her with us. Dr Huber would comment many times on how precious family was and how fast time flies. Always telling me to enjoy these times. Words I’ll hold close forever! Our deepest sympathy is with you all, his sweet family, that meant everything to him. May his love for you live on and heal your hearts. We will carry you in our hearts for years to come. Love, The Steenbergen Family Susan, Collin, Noah, Gabriel, Jorah and Kira

My two children were patients of Dr. Huber. He was such a loving personable doctor and my kids actually enjoyed their appointments. He always took the time to talk and listen to his patients and patients’ parents. It was evident how he thrived in the human interaction as much as his field. We are grateful that he was our doctor ߒ•RIP

Dr Huber was such a great man. My son was one of his patients. Always took that extra minute to learn what he was doing in school or extra curricular activities he was involved in. Way after his ortho was complete, if Dr Huber saw any of our family out, he would go out of his way to say hello and acknowledge our sons. As a dental hygienist, I had the utmost respect for him as an orthodontist, but more importantly as a great human being. Fly high Dr Huber. God bless your family and your dental family.

Two of my daughters went to Dr. Huber. I checked out 3 orthodontists before choosing him and know he was the best choice for us–he was great! So friendly and upbeat! Now I’ve got grandchildren that see him–he will be very missed. Thoughts of and prayers for his family, friends, co-workers and many, many patients.

We will greatly miss our dear friend Dr.Huber. I met him after I broke my retainer and many people recommended him. We lived in Eldon at the time and I was pregnant with Ava. We got to know each other on that first office visit and he confided in me that Max and Sydney were also on the way! He was over the moon at one of my appointments when he got to tell me all about the babies, and blue and pink balloons decorated the office! Years later we moved to JC and our three kids ended up at St. Joseph Cathedral School together! All three of my girls have beautiful smiles because of Dr Huber and Grace said it well when she said, if you’re ever feeling bad about yourself just go see Dr Huber…he’ll make you feel like a rock star! I will greatly miss those appointments, talking about Jeeps and the kid’s teachers and how our families were doing. Dr Huber made us feel like we were the favorites, but here’s the thing….he made every single person feel that way. I remember watching him in amazement as he had to do some dental work on a girl with special needs. He used his charm and good humor and patience and finally got the job done. Then he celebrated with her! He said I knew you could do it!! He was one of the best people I have ever met and treated every single person with the highest respect. Oh how we will miss him!! Jayne, I wish more than anything to come give you a huge hug. Love to you my friend and to your beautiful family. Lynne Millard & family

I am sorry to the entire Huber family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cathy Imsland

Dr. Huber was my orthodontist when I was younger, such an amazing man, the love and care he had for every patient could be seen in his infectious smile. My niece is still a patient there and he will be extremely missed. Prayers go to his wife, kids, family and friends. Fly high Dr. Huber!! We will miss u. Kayla Streeter and Savanah Feltrop

Dr. Huber was mine and 2 of my daughters orthodontist. Our sincere consolences to his family, friends and staff. He will be certainly be missed.

I am a believer that people are placed in your life for a reason. Dr. Huber was more than our doctor, but our dear friend. He always inspired and encouraged Lexi and I to be our best, always see the bigger perspective, and to always do things right no matter how much more effort it meant. The dividends would always come back two fold. He always encouraged me to live life and always set an example of excellence for my kids. What started as a trip to the orthodontist for Lexi ended with two great smiles, many laughs, and some of the most thought provoking conversations that always left me waiting for the next appointment. My heart is broken to lose such a wonderful man who loved his patients as his own. I will sure miss my friend. Until we meet again.

Dr. Huber was my daughter’s orthodontist. He was a kind man, who spoke lovingly about his family every time we saw him. He had an amazing ability to relate to everyone. I am forever grateful for Dr. Huber and the exceptional care he provided my daughter. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Being a patient at Dr. Huber’s office growing up as a child is a valuable memory in and of itself. He was truly invested in each of his patients, sought to give patients the best smiles around, and engaged personally and professionally with every patient he encountered. Thank you for being such an unforgettable asset to the Jeff City community; you will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

Jayne and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am So Very Sorry for your loss. May you feel God’s presence with you during this time. Kathy Speidel

We are so sad to hear this. Our heartfelt Sympathy to Jane and the children. Chuck and Sherry Kempton

So sorry to learn of this great loss for our community.

My family has been going to Dr. Huber for 10 years.. We always talked about travel adventures and the next place to go check out. Fly high Dr. Huber. Our family will miss you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all his family, staff, and patients, of which include my husband and myself. He will be greatly missed

Jayne, you don’t know me. My name is Annie. I am the nurse that admitted him the day he came in. We talked a lot. I prayed with him, I visited on every lunch break from that day on. He said he was gonna come find me when this was all over. So, I feel I need to find you. Maybe one day we will meet. I have not stopped praying for him and will keep praying for you. Steve, God has you now. You are free, safe and loved. I am honored to have met you, cared for you, and to have been able to pray with you.

My whole family had gone through Dr. Huber for straighter teeth. The Akin Family sends our prayers and love to you and your family Dr. Huber, and yes this is Jake, not my twin brother Phil, the office could never get it right without the chart in front of them.

So sad to hear of Dr Huber passing!! Prayers for him & his family during this very difficult time!! Jayne, you have my condolences ߙϰߏ۰ߙϰߏ»

Deepest sympathies to his family. My 3 children have beautiful smiles thanks to him. My son’s nickname in the Marines was Smiley. He had a million dollar smile!

All 3 of my kids went to Dr. Huber and they all have the most beautiful smiles. He was always so kind and took time to visit and really connect. It was an appointment that my late husband enjoyed taking the kids to, he really enjoyed their talks. When Dr. Starnes passed and then my husband Mark, Dr. Huber was so kind and thoughtful. I know right now seems so dark, but you are strong enough and you will have better days. And although family and friends cant be around you, know that so many are praying for you, your family, and Steve. He was a good man who did so many great things for others. Brenda Voss

Dr. Huber was my orthodontist first, twenty-five years ago, and he did a great job for me. My father also helped build his new office years ago, which he was very proud of as I remember. Years later, I got to reconnect with Steve when I would visit the building site while my father worked on the dream home he and his family had always wanted. We only saw one another a few times, but I heard of the build constantly from my father, and when I did see Steve, I would tease him that my dad seemed to be working more on his house than he did for my own (his home was a fair deal nicer). Steve and I had spoken several times before dad began construction for him, as my own house was holding up the start date for Steve near the end of 2016. He was always gracious and measured in his approach to getting a quality result, in business and in life. He would call to check in now and then to see how my own home was progressing and to ask when I thought my dad would be clear to start his build. I know the last few years were a great excitement to him, watching his absolutely gorgeous home design come into existence bit by bit. My father worked on his home build for over two years in the end, and I know he considered Steve a good friend and not just a client. Steve always treated my family well, and he will be missed by all of the Schrimpf’s. I am so saddened for the loss to his family. He has been, and will continue to be, in our family’s prayers.

Prayers for Dr Huber’s family and his work family. Our son had dental work done there a few years ago. The staff was very nice, courteous, and always put him at ease. No matter how busy Dr Huber was, he always went out of his way to ask our son what he had been up to. RIP. ………Bookout Family

Dr. Huber was a phenomenal man. He treated both my Daughter and my Son. He took always had time for questions and always had a big smile and a fist bump! My kids loved him and I trusted him. The lives he has touched are too many to count. I am so very thankful for having him in our lives. Praying for his wife and family left behind. Sincerely Lea Marriott Simmons ( Andi and Austin Edgar’s grateful Momma)

It is with extremely heavy hearts that we are sending our deepest of sympathies to Steve’s beloved family. Steve has been such a huge presence & additional father figure to our daughter, Whitney, and we know how much she and her brother & sister adored him. We are very thankful to Steve for being there for Whitney over the past 20+ years. May God’s love & all the great memories provide peace and comfort in the days and years to come. With Love & Continuing Support, Duke & Cara Wright

I’m shocked. Steve was a kind man who loved God and his Church. I pray for his family at this difficult time. May God accept his soul

Dr. Huber was my orthodontist from the ages of 8-16 and I remember clearly he always made me feel like I was his favorite patient. He was sincere and so likable and made you feel special. I’m 40 years old now and saw Dr. Huber at Sams before Christmas for the first time in 25 years. All those good feelings came back of being a kid and getting to go see Dr. Huber for my appointments. People like Dr. Huber leave such an impression on you. It was one that has stayed with me over the years. I’m deeply saddened by his passing and I pray for deep comfort for his family.

Sending my deepest sympathies to the Huber family in the passing of Steve. May God bless each of you. May you receive comfort and strength from family and friends. May you know just how much I love you! “The Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

He was a great orthodontist. My daughter went to him and he treated each person there like a friend. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends! Dr. Huber was a Phenomenal man and amazing Orthodontist he will be deeply missed!! ߒ”

Our hearts are breaking such a good man. Prayers for the family

So sorry and shocked to hear about Dr. Huber. He was a very nice man and he gave my oldest a beautiful smile. His family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Huber was not only my son and now grandson’s orthodontist, he was my friend. Such a tremendous loss for so many. RIP, my friend. I hope you knew just how special you were. My heart aches….

Dr Huber did braces for my oldest son. He was a fine orthodontist and a fine man. Rest In Peace Dr Huber. My deepest sympathy to his family. Bev Figg

Steve took such great care of my daughter Leslie and son Bret. Bret is an airborne ranger and served as chemical recon commander for 5th special forces. The ONLY time this candle is lit is when he is deployed. I know he would want it lit for Steve as I do. I know he heard the words “ well done good and faithful servant, now enter into the kingdom I have prepared for you”. Rest In Peace Steve. Prayers to the family.

The only dentist who would also give me ice cream! Thanks for my beautiful smile!!

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this very difficult time. I had the privilege of enjoying scouting with Steve, Bill and Tom. I remember all wearing camo and painting our faces black and bombarding other troops campsites with apples at Hahn summer camp. Despite our conduct we had a class of 9 that obtained Eagle Scout together. May God rest Steve soul. Tom & Amy Flick

He was an incredible doctor and human. Kind, bright, compassionate, intelligent. Our boys were patients of his. What a great guy. He cared about kids and always connected with them and us parents. I am so sorry.

Dr. Huber did the braces for two of my children, and did a fine job. I always seemed to be the parent who took the kids, and Stephen and I struck up quite a friendship. I always joked that the other patients, parents, and staff must hate me because he’d sit there and talk politics, hunting, etc. for 15 minutes after the appointment. Meanwhile, patients needing inspections were lining up to see him so they could be on their way. This was a great man and I’ll truly miss him!

Steve is already missed by so very many. The work he did on my son’s teeth was great. I always enjoyed the conversations we’d have when I’d bring him in, and appreciated his honest, up-front approach. He was very knowledgeable and gentle, genuinely caring for everyone that came in to see him. This is truly a sad day and many feel this loss.

Many, many prayers for Dr Huber and his family he left behind. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I was a patient of his back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Getting braces was a very memorable experience and Dr Huber made it very pleasant. He was always so kind and gentle. My heart hurts for his family. May the Peace of God be with them during this very difficult time.

I moved her about 10 years ago as really an outsider. I worked professionally with Steve and collaborated on mutual patients. He was ALWAYS quick to call me and share with me good things patients had said and how he was glad to work with me and that he was glad I had moved to Jeff City. He loved and cared for people, especially his patients. I’m going to miss our short conversations of “shop talk”, but I will really miss our long conversations about family and life. A good man gone too soon! Steve, we love you brother, thanks for all the goodness you brought to the world.

Prayers for his family, friends and staff in this difficult time. He will be greatly missed by his patients

He was a very interesting dentist and I’ll miss him alot

I was a patient of Dr. Huber’s in the late 80’s and early 90’s. He would travel to Dr. Dear’s office in Versailles where I would see him. He was always kind and considerate. I ran into Dr. Huber years later and he remembered me. My smile is beautiful and I am thankful to have been a patient of his.

I am so sorry to hear this. He was a great guy.

So very sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Steven Huber. From the beginning of Audrey’s visits til the last of Rebecca’s, and with Alex’s in between, we were so blessed to have gotten to know him. Over the course of 18 years, we had many a conversation about a variety of topics. He was so much more than “just an orthodontist.” He got to know his patients and their families and truly cared about them. Not even once did he say an unkind word to any of us and I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who smiles more than he did. He was just such a wise, wonderful, fun, loving, caring, & giving person. I’ll never forget the free BBQ & snow cone picnics he and his staff used to host for the patients & their families, and the patients even got to bring a friend! Dr. Huber gave to the community in many other ways as well. Even before I met him, during the time I was teaching at St. Peter School (9 years, but this had started before I got there), every year Dr. Huber gave all the special kids who attended Vogelweid Learning Center something for Christmas! A few things I remember were t-shirts that they got to pick out their own decal to have ironed on, brand name sports balls, and a large Christmas tree for the classroom with all the lights and decorations!! Dr. Huber, I know you are in a better place now, but here on earth, you will be greatly missed! Our prayers and condolences go out to your family.

I was privileged to teach his children. He and his wife were very involved parents. When he spoke about his children I could just see his love and pride about them! He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

My prayers and condolences go out to the Huber family. Dr. Huber was my orthodontist when I was in high school. What I will remember most about him is his kindness to me. I ran into him occasionally at church when I was back in town and he always remembered me. One thing that I will always be grateful to him for was seeing me on an off day he had. My two eye teeth hadn’t come down property (periodontist was unsuccessful in fixing it) he took the time and resources to do what needed to be done to get the eye teeth to come down properly. He was successful. He always had a smile on his face and such a kind heart. I will miss seeing him.

This is so sad. He was a kind and good man. He has been my daughter’s orthodontist from kindergarten to 6th grade. Praying for his family. You will be missed.

Dr. Huber was my daughter’s orthodontist when she was a teenager. We are terribly saddened to read about Dr. Huber’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers to his family, staff and friends.

A surreal moment and sad feeling to know that Dr. Huber passed. I’m grateful for the care I received as one of Dr Huber’s patients and I will be forever thankful for the *literal* smile he helped create for me. I’m sure hundreds more can say the same. May God bless Dr. Huber’s family with comfort as they mourn his passing. He is so deeply missed.

Dr Huber took me under his wing a few years ago, with sincere thanks to Dr. Williams (VA). I am perplexed a little bit after reading the news about his departure. He was definitely a sincere and caring orthodontist. I will be forever grateful for what he’s done for me. I’m at the tail end of getting my braces off and I was hoping to celebrate with him and his amazing team. RIP Dr. Huber

Sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and team.

I asked Steve why he was still a Bachelor still at his age He told me because the woman he has lived since high school was never available when he was. He was waiting for them to be available to each other. Jane, his only true love

Condolences to Tom and Bill and to the rest of the family. Extending our thoughts and prayers. Sam and Debbie Schaumann (MoARNG Retired)

God be with Dr. Huber and his family. RIP

My sincere sympathy to the whole Huber family. Steven took care of 3 of my kids & always had a smile & encouragement for them. I worked with Thomas at the MO National Guard. The amount of lives that Steven has touched through the years is incredible. May your family be surrounded in God’s strength and peace. May your hearts be filled with happy memories and all the love & care that Steven shared with others.

I would like to give my sincerest apologies to family and friends of Dr. Huber. My name is Tiffany Stephens and I was a patient of Dr. Huber back in the 90’s, for about 5 years. As a child, not always did I like going to my appointments and was sometimes really scared. But Dr. Huber always had the biggest grin, the most upbeat attitude and could make anybody feel comfortable, no matter what was going to be done. Our community has suffered a huge loss of such a wonderful person and blessing in disguise.

Phi Delt Brothers are remembering Steve and mourning his loss. Steve was a fun guy! He liked the girls and the girls liked him! In coelo quies est, Tomo

My heartfelt sympathy and continued prayers to Jayne and kids, extended family and friends of Steve. My daughter was a patient of his in her early teens. He ALWAYS wore a smile, had a great attitude, took his time and no matter how busy took time to ask about our family. I pray that over time these many memories will provide some comfort of a wonderful guy who touched many lives.

I didn’t know Steve but had the privilege of working with his brother Jim many times. My condolences to all the Huber family at this time.

We all will miss our wonderful friend but the great memories of Steve will be with us forever. As a Phi Delt with Steve at Mizzou, he lit up the place with his charisma and character. He will be missed.

In coelo quies est, JB

I was born 24 years ago with a cleft lip and pallet, which meant hundreds of doctors visits, and hours of converstaions. For the past 17 years I’ve not only gotten the opportunity to be a patient of Dr. Huber as a result of this birth defect, but the great privilege of becoming a friend. He had the amazing gift of never making you feel like a patient, a file, or another problem to be fixed, but he treated you like a friend or a part of his family. Every time I went in there we would discuss school, life, and our shared interest of guns and recreational shooting. After quite a few surgeries, I have fair cause to not be too fond of doctors, but I always enjoyed going to see Dr. Huber (and not just for the free ice cream). He was a true blessing to me and my parents and has done so much to improve the lives of anyone he could. My prayers and the prayers of my parents are with his family during this already trying time. I will greatly miss him and he will be greatly missed.

Dr. Huber exuded passion, joy, and genuine kindness into every single action and word which came from him. He was unique and quirky and never wore socks, no matter what time of year. This, I secretly admired of him, because it exaggerated his uniqueness to me. I have been a patient of his on and off for more than 10 years. He saw me through that awkward stage and always made me feel like a rock star any time I was in his office. Speaking of his office, it was bubbly and fun and loud in all the best ways. He treated his staff like family and made every feel comfortable and open. Spending school days going to the orthodontist was a treat in my eyes, not because I missed school, but because his office was a little wonderpark of excitement and chaos. Recently, I had a visit with him in January where he worked on me personally, which typically never happened, but nontheless, he lit up my world once again. His heart was so big for people he had never met and I know for a fact I felt it in everything he did. What an honor to know this man. At the age of 25 I was able to look back and see his positive impact on my life and how important it was and still is to me. He had so much love and encouragement for my life journey; he sounded like he was along for every part of it. A light has not gone out, it has been spread and eventually, I hope out of all of this, that his bright light lives on to brighten others’ lives as well.

Dr. Huber always knew how to put a grin on my face; in two different ways. His work made me confident enough to show my teeth, and his humor never failed to make those teeth shine in a big bright smile.

Shocked to hear about Steve. My families heart goes our to his family. We were on the same team in Dental School. I knew him well and enjoyed knowing him. He will be missed. Michael S Hollingsworth DDS and Family

Prayers from the Dr. Mark Dake family and staff

I’m so very sad to hear about Dr. Huber. He put me in braces and made my teeth beautiful! Loved my appointments just to talk to him about everyday things and business. Sending prayers to his family! Gone way too soon! Marty Tomljenovic

My deepest condolences to the family. Dr. Romero (Enid, OK)

Jane know our prayers are with you & your kids .May it be a comfort for you that he touched so many family’s lives , so many ways .As grandparents we picked our grandchildren up quite often, always allowed to come in & see the procedure. Call me always love visiting with you .❤️John&Henrietta

Linda and I are so sorry for the news we just heard. He was a wonderful gentleman and we are glad that we got to know him.

Doc is an institution in Jefferson City and will be missed. I have used his services for 5 family members over the years. Doc and his staff are amazing. Will miss his conversation, wit and humor.

Starting with their mother, Sylvia, the Huber family has been caring and faithful benefactors of the Vogelweid Learning Center at St. Peter Interparish School for many years. Dr. Steve cared deeply for the future of our program by establishing the Huber Scholarship Fund for our students. He really had a kind and caring soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

So very sorry for your loss. The orthodontic community is losing a great doctor and friend. Our love from the mountains of Utah for the entire family, practice and patients.

Heartbreaking news. My condolences to Steve’s family and the Jeff City dental community that relied on his extraordinary skills to treat their patients. Dr Gene McGill

My heart and prayers go out the family and friends. He will be missed by everyone he touched. Paul and Debbie Humphrey

I met Steve some years ago when he was a member of the Schulman study club. He was very much a personal hero of mine! This is a great and tragic loss my heart goes out to his family.

Our deepest sympathy to Jayne and the entire Huber family. Steve was one of the BEST! Trust in the Lord. Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.” Blessings of peace and comfort to you, Love-Norman and Debbie Hamler

We are so sad about the passing of a dear friend and brilliant orthodontist. Seeing Dr. Huber on visits was always a highlight for myself and my son. He had a way of making each one of his patients and families feel like they were the most important person in the room. He was truly a treasure and impacted our lives forever. Sending our love and prayers to his lovely wife Jayne and children. Love, Christelle and Sammy Maher

Jayne and family, Our hearts are breaking for you. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers and in our thoughts. Please find comfort knowing how much of an impact “Dr Steve” made in so many people’s lives! The beautiful smiles that he created are the legacies he would be very proud of. God Bless you all. Denise Thrash Willroth Missy Thompson Holmes

So sorry to hear about your ! Dr Huber had been a special person in our lives! I retired from 23 yrs as a Dental Hygienist for Dr Nathalie Tungesvik where referred the majority of our patients to Steve! He gave both our daughters beautiful smiles. He was so proud of our Carrie when she became a US Marine! He also acknowledged the death of our husband/father which shows why he was so special to us!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. We are praying for you and your family at this trying time.

The loss of one near to you can leave a void that will take time to fill. Memories will help to bring a smile to everyone at just the right moment. Kristopher was one of Steven’s patients in the late 80’s and we feel your loss. Glenn Rose

Very sad to hear about y’all’s lose. Steven was a great guy. Every time I would come in the get my teeth looked at during & after my braces he would always ask how I was doing and how my family was with the bigger smile on his face.

Prayers to y’all from the Irvin family “Alex, Brittany, Peyton & Everleigh” ߙ

Steven, while we only met a couple of times, I felt like I knew you through your brothers Bill and Tom. Your parents raised some amazing sons and I am sure that they were extraordinarily proud of you all. My deepest sympathies to the Huber family. Steven, may you join your parents in peace. Kelly Morehead

My son and I are deeply saddened by the news of Dr. Huber’s passing. We were both his patients. His personality was radiant. Whenever my son went to his appointments, Dr Huber would make him feel like he was his one and only patient. He treated me the same, even though the office was filled with many others. Dr. Huber was truly the face and meaning of “gone too soon.” I sincerely believe that his job on this earth was to provide positive energy and beautiful smiles. That combination is what is needed to light up the world during some of the darkest days. His work is done, and our job now is to shower the world with the positive energy and all of the amazing smiles that he left us with. To the family of Dr. Steven Huber, we extend our sincere condolences. We pray that one day you will find peace. We also extend our sympathies to Dr. Huber’s staff. He was truly proud of all of you and the professional work that you did. We will all miss him immensely.

Much love and warm hugs to you, Thomas A, and all your family. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Dr. William Huber & Family, I am sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary Hartshorn GLWACH

Fellow orthodontist here in Florida, sending sincere condolences to Dr. Huber’s family.

Heartfelt sympathy to his family. Having served with his brother Bill in Iraq, I know the sorrow of loss. Be safe my friend, be safe. We were never promised there would be no darkness, but we always knew there was a light. The glow of that light shall be your brother. JC and Maureen Peters

Bill and Tom Huber, My deepest sympathy during this time. Please know that I am thinking of you. Your Friend, Jackie Loveall, MOARNG

Dr. Huber had such a spark of life and vitality. My heart goes out to his wonderful family, whom he spoke of often. And to the wonderful people at the orthodontic clinic. As one of his adult patients, I loved chatting with Dr. Huber about every topic under the sun. He was interested in everything and just loved life. At my last appointment, he said, “If I could go back in time and start over, I think I’d do it all over again just the same way”. 100% Dr. Huber… I will miss him very much.

Steve was a man filled with unending energy and a zest for life. He was a person with a very discerning, creative eye. He had a talent and passion for architecture, art and interior design. Steve was one of the best orthodontist, making beautiful smiles all over mid Missouri. Steve and Jayne created a wonderful home for Whitney, Sydney and Max. One could see and feel the love of this special family unit. My heart goes out to the family at this time of loss. I will personally miss the quick wit and good conversations. The Huber family has lost its patriarch, but Jayne will keep the family ties strong. I will miss you greatly Steve! Frank B
