Marist Community Rallies Around Family of Husband, Father of Three

Updated Tuesday, Jan. 20, 10 p.m.

Members of the Marist community have started an online fundraiser, to assist a family who lost their husband and father recently.

Tim Hughes, a member of the football coaching staff and class of ‘97, died suddenly Jan. 5. He is survived by wife Amy, and children Sarah, Tommy and Joey. The Hughes Children’s Fund has been established in memory of Hughes, and to ease the financial hardships that face the family in the near and long terms.

In just three days, nearly $35,345 of the target $50,000 had been raised. A surge in donations brought the total to $43,545 two days later.

Wake and funeral arrangements have passed. Donations may also be made to the Hughes Children’s Fund c/o Standard Bank 7800 W. 95th St. Hickory Hills, IL. 60457.
