Michael Hughes Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Steve was a proud Marine veteran, having served his country with honor and bravery. His commitment extended beyond his military service; he showed a profound love for his family and enjoyed spending time with them.
A man of many passions, Steve filled his days sharing laughter and warmth with those around him. Known for his delightful dad jokes, he had a unique way of brightening even the dullest of moments. His love for the outdoors led him to camping and fishing, where he felt most at home, surrounded by nature's beauty.
Steve also had a deep-seated interest in working on cars, whether it was repairing an engine or restoring a classic vehicle. This hands-on approach to life exemplified his character-dedicated, resourceful, and always eager to lend a helping hand.
In honoring Steve's life, a gathering of family and friends will be held 6-8 pm on Monday, August 25, 2025, at Greene Funeral Service, West Chapel, 216 Archie Whitesides Road Gastonia, with military honors provided by the US Marines. All who knew him are welcome to come together to reflect on the cherished memories we have of this remarkable man.
Steve is survived by his son, Isreal Hughes; his daughter, Laycee Nulter (Josh); brothers, Ronnie Hughes, Jack Hughes (Marty); sister, Sandy Cody (Johnny); grandchildren, Hunter Hughes (Ashley), Kyndal Hughes, Matthew McCarthy; great-grandchild, Reighlyn Hughes; friends, Jeff Ghant, David Bertholf, Starr Kale.
Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Woodrow Hughes and Grace Parton Hughes; sister, Dorthy Hughes, Carolyn Sisk, Shirley Sue Hughes, and Patricia Costner; grandchild, Darrius Hughes.
As we remember Steve let us carry forward the laughter, love, and spirit of adventure he instilled in us all. His legacy will continue to live on in the stories we share, the memories we hold dear, and the love he so generously gave.
