1953 - 2016
 On August 11, 2016, William Clive Hughes (63) went home to be with The Lord. Clive was born in Wales on March 13, 1953 to Bryn and Gladys Hughes, who he will meet in his Heavenly home. Clive was raised in Abertysswg, Wales where he met his wife of 45 years, Ann Hughes. While a youth, Clive attended Rhymney Grammar School, Merthyr Tydfil Technical College and studied accounting at Polytechnic of Wales. Clive moved to the United States with his wife and surviving children, Gareth and Martyn, in 1982 and remained in the Barboursville area for the next 34 years until his sudden passing due to heart disease. From an early age, Clive worked for Taylor Woodrow as a Commercial Manager until he transferred to the United States to become a business and mine manager for Taywood Mining. For the past 25 years, Clive was the business manager and Vice President of P&A Engineers in Louisa, KY and Alum Creek, WV. A strong man of Christ, Clive was a member of Fellowship Baptist Church, Clive served as a Deacon, Sunday School Teacher and Youth Leader and was blessed to have many friends and family from the church. Those who knew Clive knew his passion for three other main things: Family, Friends and Golf – all of which shared his big heart. Clive was preceded in death by his parents, Bryn and Gladys Hughes and a special daughter-in-law Karis Mae Heapy Hughes, and was survived by his loving wife Ann, sons Gareth (Patricia) and Martyn (Trista), grandchildren Bryn, Adyson & Rhys, JP & Mica; sister Oriel Hobbs and her children Andrew and Mark, and her grandchildren, Liam, Lewis, Rhiannon and Hannah; brother John (Joyce) and their children Anthony and Sarah-Jayne (Geoff) and their children Jessica and Elliot; two special sisters-in-law Jane (Rob) Squibbs and their children Matthew and Zoe, and Carol (Mike) Yanez and her children Paul Farr and Marc Morgan; two brothers-in-law Clive and Mark Payne; and the special family of Lynn & Bev Ours and their children Jon (Kerri) and Christa and their extended family. While all miss Clive dearly, his legacy will live on and he would want us all to remember his smile, his generosity and his love of life. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 16, 2016 at Fellowship Baptist Church, 3661 US Route 60E, Barboursville, WV 25504 from 6 - 7 p.m. with a Memorial Service to follow. All are welcome to attend. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace. |

Dear precious Ann,
I just found out today about the home going of your sweet Clive. My memories are fond of him. A man who always greeted me with a big smile. His heart was big and God used him to touch many lives. You are in my prayers as I know the days ahead will be difficult but we know that our Lord will carry you through each day and give you grace.
I love you dearly and you will make it.
Love and prayers,
Tammy Underwood

Sweet Ann and Family
Chris and I were so sad to hear about your loss of such a great man. When I think of Clive I think of the song, "Thank you for giving to the Lord. I was a life that was changed. So grateful for his sweet spirit and non-judgmental attitude -just love. I will always be grateful. Sending much love to you and praying that peace will flood your souls.

Your family was a part of our families for years so his passing feels like losing a family member. We may not remember all the things he did or said, but we will never forget the way he made us feel. We will miss him.

Dear Ann, Gareth, Martyn and family,
We are sad and heartbroken for your incredibly loss of Clive, husband, dad, grandad and friend to so many. Always had a smile and presence that none will forget. He loved Christ and he showed his love by living life to the fullest. We admired him so much. Of course Mike remembers the days of racquetball. Fun times, sorry they never played golf because I'm sure they would have enjoyed their time on the course. Ann, you know I think the world of you for being YOU. One of the nicest, most kind hearted person. Love and prayers??
