George Washington Hughey, Jr. (Butch) passed away and into his eternal home on October 19, 2026.
George was born on April 4, 1947, the son of George, Sr. and Gertrude Hughey. He grew up in Brent, Alabama and attended Bibb County High School, where he met his wife of 56 years, Barbara.

He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara; his children, Matt Hughey (Kristie) and Holly Goff (Josh); his grandchildren, Baylor Hughey, Barrett Hughey, Max Goff, and Merritt Goff; and his sister, Sammye.
