Hughes; and maternal grandfather, Georgey Gurganus; aunt, Amy Schaefer and husband, Jim; uncle, Mark Hughes and wife, Debbie.

C.J. leaves behind hundreds of friends he touched with his infectious smile and loving heart. He loved to say "I love you, buddy," and you knew he truly meant it. We will miss the special feeling you gave to us all. ‘Til we see you in Heaven, reunited with our Lord Jesus Christ, be at peace.
