Kenneth Duane Dudley

Ken was born on June 16, 1958, in Flint Michigan to Kenneth Charles and Diane (Simpson) Dudley. Some of his hobbies included fishing, hunting and wood-working. Ken also enjoyed cooking and baking. He was always excited to try a new recipe out and maybe tweak it a little. He was an avid NASCAR fan, and never missed a race. Every Sunday you could find him in front of the TV, a lot of the time with his brother Mike or best friend Dave (Rhonda) Jacobson. Ken also enjoyed spending time out on the farm with good buddy Hobby (Richard Hobson) rather it be hunting, shooting guns or just enjoying being outdoors he made the most of it.

Ken was a loving father, grandfather and great grandfather and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Ken is survived by his daughter Manda (Josh) Dean; sons Kenneth (Erin) Dudley and Zachary Dudley; his children's mother Ann (Hughes) Roth; stepchildren Rae (Mike) Collins and Robert Benefield; grandchildren Anna Brown, Mariah Dudley, Ava Dudley, Madisson Dean, Alayna Dudley, Olivia Dudley, Macey Dean, Brooke, Michael Eric, and Lila Dudley; great grandson Jaxon Cool; brother Mike Dudley and niece Danielle Sledge.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents Diane (Simpson) and Kenneth Charles Dudley, his son Eric Michael Dudley and his life partner Paula Collins.
