Jeffrey C. Hughes, 47, of Harmony Township, passed away on January 24, 2026. He was the beloved son of Rick and Gerry Hughes.
Jeffrey was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Stanley and Betty Karolak; paternal grandparents, Howard and Hazel Hughes; his cousin, Ben Gelston; and his special friend, Rich.
He is survived by his brother, Kevin (Katie) Hughes; nieces, Blake and Tess Hughes; aunts and uncles, Raymond and Sheila Karolak and Wayne “George” and Joanne Gelston; along with numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, and his second family at McGuire Memorial.
Jeffrey was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan who enjoyed all kinds of junk food—especially Police Station Pizza. Known for his sharp sense of style, he loved dressing well, often completing his look with a tie. Jeffrey loved to socialize and truly never met a stranger. His warm personality and friendly spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM and 5:00–7:00 PM at Alvarez-Hahn Funeral Services and Cremation, LLC, 547 8th Street, Ambridge. Departing prayers will take place at 9:30 AM on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the funeral home, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 AM at Good Samaritan/St. Luke Church, 725 Glenwood Avenue, Ambridge. Burial will follow at Good Samaritan Cemetery, Bell Acres.
His family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to the ICU staff at UPMC McCandless for their dedication and compassionate care of Jeffrey.
