Michael was born January 23, 1968, in Oklahoma City to Thomas and Billie (Heckel) Hughes. He graduated from Putnam City North in 1986 and was a lifelong resident of Oklahoma City. Michael was a loyal employee of KP Supply Company for over 30 years. He was a hard worker, funny and outgoing, and earned the friendship of co-workers and customers alike.
Michael’s daughters, Hannah Beth and Kaylee Ray Hughes, were the most important part of his life, and he was always happiest spending time with them, teaching them, and celebrating them. He was a devoted father, a loving son, brother, cousin, uncle and friend. He was a gifted, skilled and accomplished musician, and a zealous fisherman. Michael was always up for an adventure, whether it was scuba diving, skiing, hunting, or having friends over for an impromptu jam session in his living room. He simply and wholeheartedly enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Michael was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harry and Lucille Hughes and Frank and Billie Heckel. He is survived by his parents, Tom and Billie Hughes, his daughters Hannah and Kaylee Hughes, his brother Rick and wife Angie Hughes, nieces Cora and Kyla Hughes, girlfriend Kimberly Carruth, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, and his good dog Oakley.
