Gulfport
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Mitchell Damon Hughes, age 60, of Gulfport, MS, who unexpectedly passed away in Gulfport on October 3, 2023.
Mitchell was born in Jackson, MS, on December 27, 1962, to Mimi Krebs and Arvil Hughes. He was a diligent professional and worked for over 35 years on the Gulf Coast as a Mechanical Designer.
Outside of his professional life, Mitchell relished spending time with his daughters and grandchildren and embraced helping his neighbors when they needed him. He enjoyed being outdoors and any opportunity to be on or near the water going fishing, hiking, or camping. He also had a soft spot for his faithful four-legged companion, Trigger, and often volunteered for the animal shelter as a pet foster. Blessed with the inherent Southern storytelling gift, Mitchell could make us laugh so hard we'd cry, listening to his passionate rhetoric. His family and friends will truly miss him.
Mitchell was preceded in death by his mother, Mimi Krebs; grandparents, Juanita & Charles Jennyss; and Ida & James Hughes.
