Charlie was of the Christian faith. He loved fishing, going to the lake, playing horseshoes and spending time with his buddies trading stories.
Charlie was a loving, stubborn and a strong-willed outdoorsman who always worked hard. He was a brick mason for 50 years. He owned his own business, Charles Hughes Masonry, for 18 years.
Those left to cherish his memories include his son, Travis Hughes of Elizabethton, Tenn.; two sisters, Susan Stephens and husband Sam of Austin, Texas, and Betsy Winters of Elizabethton, Tenn.; and nieces and nephews, Wes, Chelsey, Michelle and Katelin. Several great-nieces and great-nephews are also left to carry on his memory.
The family would like to express a special thank you to Karen Wright for her loving care and support during this difficult time.
