Mike Hubbard, age 60, passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 28, 2024. Mike was born on Oct. 7, 1963, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a loving husband to Genie Hubbard, a caring son to Margaret and LaGrande Hubbard who preceded him in death, a favorite brother to three sisters, Suzanne (Randy) McKnight, Sheilah (Thomas) Weir, and Shari (David) Funk, and an admired uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Mike was a master mechanic and a dedicated hard worker for over 25 years at Ralph Smith Trucking in Bountiful, Utah. Upon moving to Southern Utah, he was Fleet Manager for Washington City and then worked at Western Rock where he retired in 2022.
Along with Genie, his bride of 29 years, they embraced retirement to the fullest, hand-in-hand. Their days were filled with walking, hiking, biking, boating, golfing, animal rescue, kitty sitting, bird watching and traveling while still having time to pick up new hobbies like disc golf and pickle ball.
Mike was very handy and could fix anything. He was always more than willing to help those in need. He was generous, honest and a loyal friend.
Mike, may your future hikes be plenty and your companions be familiar – Shasta, Baby the Dog, Sasha, Cricket, and Tino (although that will be like herding cats).
We love you and miss you. Keep texting those silly memes from beyond.
In celebration of Mike’s life, join his family and friends at a gathering on Saturday, March 9, 2024, anytime between noon and 2 p.m. MST. It will be held at the Holiday Inn Express located at 2450 North Town Center Drive, Washington, Utah. In lieu of flowers, please support Mike’s passion for animals by donating to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary at BestFriends.org or your local animal rescue.

Excerpt from one of Mike’s favorite songs
Just Breathe
By Eddie Vedder – Pearl Jam
Yes, I understand
That every life must end
As we sit alone
I know someday we must go
Oh, I’m a lucky man
To count on both hands
The ones I love
Some folks just have one
Yeah, others they got none
Stay with me
Let’s just breathe
