Mark was born July 10th, 1960, to William Hughes and Betty Mays. He was born in Marysville, CA, where he met his future bride. They eventually made their way to Norman, OK, where they were married in an intimate ceremony in their living room.
Mark was a proud husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He adored his wife, Angela, and together they raised their children, and went on to adopt their twin granddaughters and raise them as their own. He cheered for his favorite teams, the OU Sooners and the Washington Redskins, and shared his love of motorcycles with his grandson.
Mark spent his working years as a drywaller, many of those years working side-by-side with his sons for DW Drywall.
His favorite memories were made with family during holidays and river trips, with Chris Stapleton on the radio, and a cold Budweiser in his hand.
Mark was preceded in death by his wife Angela. He is survived by his father William and his mother Betty; his siblings David, Gayle, Stacey, and Timmy; his children Tim (Amanda) Hughes, David (Taylor) Hughes, Sheree Sandoval, Clarissa Hughes, Michael (Sally Simpson) Smith, Jason (Nicole) Costa, and Ricky (Cristina) Bates; his grandchildren Sierra, Seanna, Justin, Austin, Jaylee, Easton, Enola, Khianna, Gabriel, Aiden, JJ, Sophie, Aryia, Natalie, Emilie, Rylie, Ricky Jr., as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
A memorial service for Mark will be held Monday, August 26, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Primrose Funeral Service, 1109 North Porter Ave, Norman, OK 73071.
