Tom Hughes, 46, of Peletier, North Carolina, passed away at his home on Sunday, November 8, 2026.

A Rosary service will begin at 10:30 a.m., followed by a Funeral Mass celebrating Tom's life at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 21st, at St. Mildred's Catholic Church in Swansboro, presided over by Father Mike Coveyou. The family will receive friends from 9:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m., prior to the Rosary service.

Tom was born on February 15, 1980, in Fairfax, Virginia, to Janet Hughes and the late Hugh Hughes. Following in his father's footsteps, Tom found enjoyment and fulfillment in his work as a surveyor.

Tom had a wide range of interests and hobbies. He was an avid reader with a particular love for Greek mythology and was also a keen movie buff. He enjoyed collecting Marvel Comics, target shooting, and grilling out, especially when it meant sharing a good meal with family and friends.

Tom will be remembered for his intelligence, quick wit, and wonderful sense of humor. He loved making people laugh and brought joy to those around him. Beneath his humor was a big heart and a genuine desire to help others. He cared deeply for the people in his life and extended love to everyone he met.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his loving mother, Janet Hughes of Peletier, NC; sons, Thomas Hughes of Peletier, NC and Mason Hughes of Luzerne, PA; brothers, Scott Hughes (Susan) of Exeter, PA, and David Hughes (Anjanette) of Newport, NC; nieces and nephews, Scott, Evan, Anna, Abby, and Sam Hughes; along with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Tom was preceded in death by his father, Hugh Henry Hughes.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to St. Mildred's Catholic Church for their Building Fund, 653 Old Hammock Rd., Swansboro, NC 28584.
