died Saturday, August 4, 2018, at his home in Prospect, KY. He was born March 2, 1966, in Fort Campbell, KY. His parents, Valentina and Robert Hugg, preceded him in death.
Survivors include his children, Olivia and Emma Hugg of Prospect, KY; his siblings, Debra Hester (Randy) of Orange Beach, AL, Helen Dorroh (Paul) of Avondale Estates, GA, and Martin Hugg (Jo Cunningham) of Queenstown, MD; nieces and nephew, Jeremy Hester, Rachel Hester, Emily Holden (Blair), Jennifer Dorroh (Paul Schultz), and Laura Hugg; and his aunt and uncle, Dzintars and Helena Skrupskis of Riga, Latvia. He is also survived by his cousins Laura Honore (Tony) and Marsha Steinfeld, a number of other cousins, and his ex-wife Lori Hugg.
Patrick served in the United States Army and received a BFA degree with a concentration in printmaking from Eastern KY University. Patrick was a talented figurative and portrait artist and had recently made a trip with other artists to China. After a long period of being inactive as an artist, he had recently become involved in the local artist community in particular at Art Sanctuary and had organized artist sessions. He was also an accomplished tennis player. He was a PTR certified tennis professional and was a tennis instructor at Tennis Club at Springhurst and assistant head tennis coach at North Oldham Middle School.
Patrick, or Pat as he was known to his family growing up, will be remembered as the dignified, quiet and caring man who valued his family relationships. Spending time with his mom in her later years, building a tree house for his niece and storage at the beach for his sister, and cooking up a pot of cabbage rolls to share were examples of his kindness.
The two great loves of Patrick’s life were his daughters, Olivia and Emma. And his girls loved him with all their hearts. He was never a man of many words until he began to talk about his girls. He would beam with pride as he spoke of things they did together. He was so proud of the young women his girls were becoming and always knew they were destined to change the world because of the way they touched the hearts of everyone they ever met.
The family will have a private memorial service with inurnment in Floydsburg cemetery to follow.
