Michael R. Hughes, 58, of Pine Hill Dr., Pine Grove, passed away on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 peacefully at home, under Hospice, with his family at his side after a 3-year battle of stage 4 cancer.

Born on September 27, 1962 in Pottsville, he was a son of the late Donald and Karlene Rehrer Hughes.

He was a 1980 graduate of Pine Grove High School and earned a certificate from Hagerstown Community College.  

Mike was currently a Pine Grove Jr. High Boys Basketball Coach and statistician for both the Boys and Girls High School Basketball teams.  He also worked security with his wife at all Pine Grove School District events. He was previously a little Dutchman football coach, coached his children in soccer, baseball, basketball, and softball, and a travel team coach for both children in soccer and travel baseball team.  He loved ALL sports in Pine Grove, especially watching his nephews Cameron and Carter Raudabaugh and their friends.

He was a huge supporter of his wife and her student and professional organizations.  He was a regional and state judge for many years with Future Business Leaders of America, and a chaperone on many field trips, dances, and school events.

Mike loved to travel with his family.  His favorite places were Hawaii and going on cruises to different islands.  He played fast pitch, slow pitch, and modified softball for years with the Crushers.  When he wasn't watching Pine Grove sporting events, you could catch him watching any Philadelphia sporting event.

He was a hard worker who would do anything for anyone in the drop of a hat.  His pride and joy was his granddaughter Alaina who kept him going.
