John Hughett Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in 1946 in Middlesboro, KY to the late John and Iris (Clemons) Hughett, John lived a life of service, steadfastness, and deep love for his family.
Affectionately known as "Chip 'n Putt" on the golf course, after shooting a 105 in his first ever round, he eventually became a scratch golfer. His life was a hymn to small moments-breakfast with his buddies, daily companionship of his little dog, Bella Boo, Sunday worship with his faith family at Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene, and laughter shared over a well-told story.
John never sought recognition-only to serve well with his hands, his heart, and his abiding trust in the Lord.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, "Janet Sue" (Roper) Hughett; son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Beth Martinez, of Castalia; grandson, Dr. "Keither" Martinez II, of New York, NY; and granddaughter, "Jenna-bug" Martinez, of Graham, NC. He is remembered by his sisters, Della (Gary) House and Nancy (Perry) House, of London, KY, as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews who adored their Uncle John.
John was preceded in death by his father, John Hughett, mother and step-father, Iris and Byron Casteel, brothers, Larry Casteel and Marie Casteel, and son, Matthew "Marty" Martinez.
