Mr. Hubenett was born Sept. 11, 1936, in Stafford, to Claus H. and Olive E. (Blad) Hubenett. The family later moved to Iantha, Mo. He was a 1954 graduate of Lamar High School. He then graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Animal Husbandry. Following his education he traveled to ranches throughout the United States where he groomed cattle for auctions and livestock shows. He was also active with the American Royal in Kansas City.

He later settled on the family farm near Devon, where he took care of the farm and his beloved mother. He was a member of the Bourbon County Fair Board and donated countless hours to the upkeep of the fairgrounds. The recently constructed Hubenett Pavilion on the fairgrounds is named in his honor.
