Michael (Mike) Hoyt Hughes, age 53, went to be with the Lord on November 13th, 2024. He was born in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on December 31, 1970, to the late Marcia Cheatham and Oval T. Hughes Jr.
Mike was an avid lover of Arkansas Razorback football, politics, coffee, and classic rock music. He enjoyed nights out dancing and playing pool, but he also loved days at home mowing the yard and grilling with friends and family. He was outgoing, goofy, and always had a way of making you smile or laugh. He was a man of many talents and many occupations, but his longest time of service was dedicated to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. He retired after 17 years as Sergeant Hughes. He also spent many years in law enforcement, and he always proudly wore his badge.
In addition to his parents, Michael is preceded in death by his little brother, James (Jimmy) Cheatham, and his uncle, James Overton. He leaves behind his daughter, Caitlyn Hughes, one son, Michael-Ryan Hughes, and a bonus son, Danieal Cheatham. He is survived by his big sister, Lisa Goodman, and her two children, Melissa Watson and Drew Goodman. He also leaves behind a fiancé, Hailey Eden and her daughter Elizza Crouch. He leaves behind many other beloved friends and extended family.
Memorial services will be held on November 20th at 12:00 pm at Cross Point Ministries Church in Beebe, Arkansas (806 US-64 Beebe, Arkansas 72012). Following the memorial service, there will be a graveside funeral service at the Arkansas Memorial Gardens (Arkansas Highway 161, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72117).
