John Keeton Hughes II, age 78, of Alto, passed away Thursday, March 17, 2022.
Born on August, 16, 1943, he was a son of the late John Keeton Hughes, Sr. and Ruth Hagemann Hughes. Mr. Hughes grew up on a farm in Henderson, Tennessee and lived in Conyers, Georgia for many years. He was a United States Navy Veteran and a member of Solid Rock Baptist Church in Maysville. He was quite the character, with a big booming voice and a larger than life presence that filled the room. Mr. Hughes was honest, kind-hearted and genuine, and once you met him, you never forgot him. He was a jack of all trades, carpenter, and a story teller who was always joking around.
He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Karen Smith Hughes of Alto; son, John Keeton Hughes, III; daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Mike Farriss of Nashville, Tennessee; granddaughter, Lizzy Farriss; brothers, Bobby Hughes and John K. Hughes, Jr.; sisters, Ruth Ann Mitchell and Carol Curry; step-mother, Judy Hughes of Henderson, Tennessee.
Memorial Services will be held at a later date.
