It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that I officially share the news of the passing of a member of our Executive leadership team and friend, James Hughes, who passed away on Saturday morning, June 6.
James was diagnosed with a serious medical condition late in 2025. To focus on his health and treatment James resigned as President in January but asked to continue serving as a member of our Advisory Council and Board of Directors. Unfortunately, his health continued to rapidly deteriorate and during the week of June 1 James returned to the hospital where I was fortunate to visit with him one final time before he passed away. This news is incredibly hard to process but I know James had faith, trusted his Lord and Savior and he is now free of pain and suffering.
A valuable and passionate member the Cadillac V-Club, James volunteered and was appointed as President in April of 2025. He was an integral part of our team and in just a few short months his contributions and dedication proved to be a difference maker. James brought kindness, energy and compassion to our team every day. He will be deeply missed by all of us.
Please see the details below regarding arrangements:
