“Jason’s life was a blessing to so many, and his untimely passing will be indescribably difficult for his wife and two young boys for years to come,” the statement read, urging supporters to help the family during this difficult period. Authorities from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said Hughes died after being struck by a truck driven by an 18-year-old student during what investigators called a prank that went wrong. Police said Hughes had been outside his home waiting to confront students who were allegedly trying to toilet-paper the property.
Investigators said the situation escalated when Hughes chased the group and slipped on the road following rainfall. According to police, the vehicle driven by Jayden Wallace struck Hughes as Wallace attempted to leave the area in a pickup truck. Wallace was arrested and taken to the Hall County Jail before later being released on a $1,950 bond. Authorities say he is currently facing a charge of first-degree vehicular homicide.
