Obituary of Darrell Patrick Hughes
Darrell Patrick Hughes, "Pat", passed away peacefully on January 6, 2022. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Joyce Hughes; and brother, Ron Hughes. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Linda Johnson Hughes; daughters, Jordan (Kellen) Strader, Whitney (Ryan) Mitchell; grandchildren, Lucian Strader, Trystan, Brayden and Wesley Mitchell; brothers, Mike (Sandra) Hughes of Stedman, NC, and Tim Hughes of Stedman NC; sister, Pam (Clarence) Lockamy of Granite Falls, NC; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. Pat proudly served his country in the US Army during the Vietnam era. He was a lifelong North Carolina Tar Heels basketball fan. As a young man he played in church softball leagues and for many years his car trunk always contained a ball, glove, bat, basketball and his golf clubs just in case an opportunity arose. Pat taught Sunday school at several different churches, most often teaching young teenaged boys. No matter what the particular lesson was, Pat was always careful to explain the plan of salvation, the foundation of his faith in God. During the past eleven years, his greatest joy and pleasure was spending time with his four grandchildren. A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 29 at 1pm at Bon Air Baptist Church, 2531 Buford Rd, Richmond, VA 23235. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project or Richmond Fisher House. A special thanks goes out to the ICU nurses and the Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder staff at McGuire VA Medical Center.
