Lante’ Hughes

Lante’ Lewis Hughes affectionately known as Stripzzz. Beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, and friend. Lante’ age 23 was born on February 5, 1998 at OSU North Hospital to Lamont Hughes and Shawnte’ Bankston. His eyes closed eternally on Friday, August 6, 2021.

Lante’ was an entrepreneur at the ripe age of 10, where he designed, bought and sold sneakers. He went on to create his business brand Young Millionaires (YM) before graduating high school.  Lante’ attended the Pickerington North High School district. He graduated in 2016. He went on to Columbus State Community College for Business for a year. Lante’s dreams were bigger than Columbus State, so he left to pursue his dreams.

The Young Millionaires (YM) Business expanded to buying, raising, and breeding bullys.  Lante’ did this alongside his uncle Brian. He had six dogs, and most recently yielded a puppy. He loved his dogs. Lante’ purchased a tow truck with his dear friends Domonte’ and started a towing company.

Lante’ also dabbled in music and has made multiple songs and music videos. There wasn’t much he had not done or could not do. Literally, a jack of all trades.

Lante’ was loved by all who knew him. He united so many families and friends. He built relationships far beyond our knowledge and reach. His friendships span across thousands of miles, from Columbus to California, to New York, to Atlanta, and even to parts of Africa. His smile, his outgoing light personality, his hugs, kisses, and sincere “I Love You” will be sorely missed.

Lante’ is preceded in death by his paternal family, grandparents, Debra Carr and Kenneth Hughes; aunt, Kennequa Gerritsen; and uncle, Robert Brown.

Lante’ leaves to cherish his precious memory, his mother, Shawnte’ Bankston; father, Lamont Hughes; brother, Donte’ and Lamont Jr.; sister, London; grandparents, Calvin and Rena’ Bankston-Benson, Marie Patterson; aunt, Serena Griffin; uncles, Kenny Hughes, Brandon Ledbetter, and Brian Bankston, Raymond Hughes; special family and friends, the Patterson family, Kobe, Malaisha, Mark, Jazmina, and Damonte; and many loving and supportive aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
