Jonathan Franklin Hughes

Jonathan Franklin Hughes (Jon as known to his friends) was born Sept. 9, 1965, in Dallas, Texas, to Carlton (Pete) and Bonnie Hughes. He died in his home on July 10, 2018, at the age of 52.

Jon grew up in small town Mexia, Texas, graduating from Mexia High School in 1984. He then went to Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where he pursued and graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1988. He obtained a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Dallas.

Upon graduation, he moved to Dallas where he started his career with Fidelity and then later moved on to other companies. For the last 30 years he has lived in Dallas where he worked and enjoyed life with his friends that he considered family.

While at Baylor, Jon was a member of the Baylor Golden Wave band and also was in a service fraternity. He always loved people and spending time with them. He has enjoyed traveling and making memories with others. His sweet nature and good heart will be greatly missed.

Jon is preceded in death by his parents, Pete and Bonnie; and his best four-legged friend, Mia, whom he found and rescued.

He is survived by his older brother David and wife Ellen of Plano; and his older, sister Trudy and husband Mike Cain of Tehuacana; nieces and nephews, Ethan Hughes, Millicent Hughes and Tim Hughes and Jill Cain, Drew and Jennifer Cain, Keith and Megan Mack and Melody and Ben Buschur; and great nephew Jackson Cain.

Jon battled with juvenile diabetes from age 7 on. So, we know he would love if they found a cure one day for others. If you would like to help this cause, donations can be made to the American Diabetes Association - In memoriam. For ecards-trudyacain@yahoo.com .
