Hughey was born and raised in Perry County, Alabama. He learned at an early age to love nature and working on a farm.

He loved his Savior. He accepted Jesus Christ as a young man of 18 years. He lived all aspects of his life with faith at the center.

He graduated from Perry County High School in 1956. After graduation, he spent three years working for the Alabama Forestry Commission. He worked hard, saved money, and even sold peaches and watermelons to finance his college degree.

He graduated from Alabama College, now known as the University of Montevallo, in 1963 with a Bachelor's Degree in Art and History.

He met his sweetheart, Sue, in 1962 and married her in 1964. Together they had two daughters and lovingly raised their family.

His career in Education spanned three Alabama counties including Autauga, Bibb, and Perry. He filled many roles including bus driver, teacher, principal, and administrator.

His passion for excellence in all he did led him to continue his higher education and he completed a Masters Degree in Education from Troy University.

Hughey was truly known for being a man of many trades. He was a carpenter, a hunter, an artist, a farmer and gardener, a bush hogger, and landscaper.

He was known for his big smile, firm handshake, generosity, and kindness. He was full of gratitude for all his blessings.

Above all, he loved his Savior, his wife Sue, affectionately known to him as "Honey", and his family.

May he be remembered not only for the love he gave so freely, but for the unwavering faith he lived each day, knowing that his greatest journey has now brought him home to the arms of his Savior, where he will rejoice in Heaven for all eternity.
