Timothy Eugene Hughes

Timothy Eugene Hughes, known affectionately to many as "T," passed away peacefully on May 23, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. Born on December 9, 1960, to Norman and Shirley Hughes, Tim was 63 years old and lived in Blue Springs, Missouri.

Tim's early years were spent on Delaware Street in Independence, Missouri, where he grew up in a warm and loving home. He excelled in basketball during his school years and graduated from Truman High School in 1979. Tim pursued higher education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), earning a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management in 1983.

Tim dedicated over 30 years of his professional life to Aramark Uniform Services, where he eventually retired. He was known for his dynamic personality, genuine nature, and infectious sense of humor. Tim’s friends and family remember him as the world's greatest uncle, a best friend to many, and a person who lived life to the fullest without any regrets.

An avid traveler, Tim enjoyed many fun trips to the beach and Las Vegas. He also loved golfing with friends, where his humor and camaraderie were always on full display. His love for the Kansas City Chiefs was legendary, and he was often found celebrating GAMEDAYs with his best friends and nephew at Arrowhead Stadium during the football season. Tim’s enthusiasm for life and his ability to make others laugh made him a joy to be around.

Tim is survived by his beloved girlfriend, Tracy Noe; his older sister Teresa and her husband Michael Jeffers; his wingman and nephew Stephen Jeffers, along with Stephen's wife Nicole and daughter Morgan; his nieces Kimberly and Melissa Jeffers, who adored their uncle and cherished every moment spent with him; and his nephew and niece Brendon Turley and Erica Kimbler. He was preceded in death by his parents, Norman and Shirley Hughes, and his sister, Coleen Turley.

Tim made a profound impact on many lives and will be forever missed. His spirit and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Until we meet again, 'T,' let's raise a Gin and Tonic in your honor, toasting to the legacy of laughter and friendship you left behind.
