Doug Hudson was a man who made a lasting impression through his genuine kindness and open heart. He shared a deep and loving bond with his wife, Christy, whose memory he carried with him every day. Together, they built a life full of laughter, support, and shared dreams—a partnership that was at the center of Doug’s world.
Born to Joe and Virginia Riley Hudson, Doug grew up surrounded by a loving family, including his siblings Joe, Gary, Sandy, Ronnie, Randy, and his twin sister Deedee, along with their beautiful families who meant so much to him. Family was everything to Doug, and he took great pride in watching it grow through each new generation.
Doug’s two children, Kim (Kristi) and Brian (Lisa), along with his grandchildren Jacob, Hazel, and Henry, meant the world to him. He was a devoted father and grandpa who truly loved being part of their lives—whether sharing jokes, stories, or quiet moments together.
A hardworking truck driver, Doug approached his job with dedication and pride, always making sure his family was cared for. But beyond work, it was the small joys that defined him—his dogs’ loyal companionship, the birds welcoming him outside, and the laughter that filled every room he entered.
His humor was warm, his laugh contagious, and his generosity boundless. Doug had an ability to make everyone feel seen and included, creating a sense of belonging wherever he went.
Doug’s spirit will live on in the love he gave so freely and the countless memories he helped create. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and deep family devotion that will be treasured always.
