Obituary of David George Hughes

David George Hughes, born February 9th, 1949, to parents Ralph and Irene Hughes, passed away at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital on September 26th, 2024.

David was born and raised in St. Mary’s, Ontario, alongside his three siblings. He attended St. Mary’s Collegiate and Vocational Institute, where he completed his schooling. In his twenties, David ventured to British Columbia to explore new opportunities. It was here that he made his home, working various forestry and bush jobs before securing a position at Weldwood, now known as Quesnel Plywood. He remained there until his retirement, building lasting friendships along the way.

David had a deep love of reading, often finishing a good western novel in one sitting. He was an avid sports fan, with a particular passion for baseball, but he could most often be found enjoying a cold beer. In honor of David’s memory, we invite you to take a moment to sit back, enjoy a cold beer, and remember him.

Predeceased by his parents Ralph and Irene, as well as his older brother William (Ben), David is survived by his sister Sharon, his brother Ken, and his niece and nephews.
