William Houston Hatley

October 10, 1958 - April 12, 2019

William “Houston” Hatley, 60, of Paducah, KY, died at 12:30 AM on Friday, April 12, 2019 at his home after a courageous battle with cancer. Born and raised in Paducah, he was the son of the late Omer and Rebecca Hatley. He is survived by his daughter Autumn and granddaughter Ryleigh of Clinton, TN and his sister Donna (Dave) of Lexington, KY. Houston was a graduate of Lone Oak High School. During his working career, he was an assistant surveyor for firms in Paducah and Nashville, TN. Upon his return to Paducah, he worked as a Mechanic for Richards Small Engines and Levee Lift. When it came to fixing things, he was adept at repairing all things mechanical and electronic. In his younger days, he was an excellent water skier and loved boating and fishing on Kentucky Lake. Houston was a member of Victory Assembly Worship Center where he received baptism and accepted the Lord into his life. His acknowledgement of the Lord as Savior and key to salvation allowed him to face his journey with hope, strength, and determination. In the end, he never lost his sense of humor and fought his cancer with calmness, courage, and conviction, knowing in his heart where his final journey would lead him. His family would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation to his doctors and nurses and to his Hospice caregivers and Meals on Wheels who attended Houston during his illness. Special thanks to his neighbors and friends who checked in on him regularly and were there when he needed them. Funeral services will be at Hughes Funeral Home at 11:00 AM on Monday, April 15, 2019 with Pastor Gary DeRossett officiating. Burial will follow the service in Mt. Kenton Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 10:00 AM to service time Monday at the funeral home. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions made to Mercy Health Lourdes Hospice, PO Box 7100, Paducah, KY 42002-7100 and Victory Assembly Worship Center, 1345 N Friendship Road, Paducah, KY 42001. You may leave a message of sympathy or light a memorial candle online at www.hughesfuneral.com. Hughes Funeral Home of Paducah is in charge of arrangements.
