Larry Michael "Mike" Hughes, age 62, of Bon Wier, Texas died on Friday, December 22, 2006 at Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont following a long illness. He was a life long resident of Bon Wier and will be remembered for his ever-present smile and as a loving and devoted friend who always had time for others. He was a master story teller. His love of the woods and his unending search for arrowheads gave him many good stories to tell. Mike grew up in his family saw mill business and was from a long line of timber men. He loved all facets of the saw mill business from which he retired due to his illness. He attended East Texas Baptist College and Stephen F. Austin State University. He was stationed in Germany in the Army in 1967-1969. He was preceded in death by his father, Charlie Hughes. He is survived by his mother, Lena Hughes; his brother, Charles Hughes and wife Connie; his sister, Molly Hughes Armstrong and her son, Connor, his niece, Penny Stanton and her husband, Don and their children, Eric and Grace. He is survived by many relatives and friends who loved him and were loved by him. Mike and his family want to acknowledge our appreciation for the many ongoing expressions of love and acts of kindness throughout his long illness. His life was extended far beyond normal expectations due to the excellent care he received by the staff at the Kidney Center of Jasper and especially Dr. Jose Lazano. Funeral services will be Sunday, December 24, 2006 at 2:00 P.M. at Bon Wier Baptist Church with burial to follow at Inman Cemetery in Bon Wier.
