Dudley had a big personality and natural charisma to make friends no matter the situation. His laugh was infectious to anyone around him. He loved football, riding motorcycles, country music, Roll Tide Roll, watching his grandchildren play volleyball, football and fishing. He also enjoyed laughs with the Neighborhood Fat Boy Club.

Dudley was a truly loved man whose impact will be forever felt by his family. His passing left an unfillable gap in the hearts of his loved ones.
