Hubert L. Washington

Hubert Lavon Washington, 87, a beloved father, cherished family member, and dear friend to many, entered eternal rest on May 18, 2026, in Lake Mary, Florida. A native of Florida, he was born on April 15, 1939, to Herbert E. and Elizabeth P. Washington. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Loiran E. Hill, and his granddaughter, Anala Bell. Hubert accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and was a 1957 graduate of Crooms Academy. He was a hardworking man who took great pride in caring for and providing for his family. Throughout his life, he worked at Harcar Windows, W. H Roof Construction, Cape Canaveral, in lawn service and later retired from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where he served as a foreman. He valued staying active and making the most of each day. Known for his generous spirit, Hubert found joy in helping others in any way he could, whether through lawn care, purchasing groceries, assisting with bill payments, or completing handyman work such as repairing windows. In his leisure time, he enjoyed fishing, visiting friends, and collecting scrap metal around the neighborhood. He was also an avid sports fan who especially enjoyed boxing, with Muhammad Ali as his favorite, and basketball, cheering for the Milwaukee Bucks. Among his favorite simple pleasures were vanilla ice cream, freshwater fried fish, and grits. His loving and devoted children live on to cherish his memory: Ronnie L. Washington, Phil K. Washington, Reginald Rogers (Theresa), Doyle G. Washington (Erika) of Dallas, Texas, Darrin Washington (Arnita), Bonnie D. Washington of Sanford, Florida; Byron Washington (Pamela) of Apopka, Florida, and Sabrena Critton (Pastor Ronald A.) of Winter Park, Florida. Mr. Hubert was the eldest of ten siblings. Mr. Washington’s brothers and sisters are: Harry L. Washington of South Orange, New Jersey; Archie L. Washington of DeBary, Florida; Joseph A. Washington, Deltona, Florida; his sisters: Ruthenia Washington of Deltona, Florida; Vivian and Catherine Washington of West Hempstead, New York; Altamese W. Gilbert of Tampa, Florda; and Carrie W. Daniels (John) of Sanford, Florida; many loving grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, great-great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors. May God continue to bless the mothers of his beautiful adult children.
