Jerry was hard to buy for, from the headaches of buying a gift for to just being stubborn; however, he absolutely adored spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and his “grand puppies."  He had a passion for his Jeeps, was known to gamble on the side and enjoyed coffee with the guys at McDonalds and Burger King every morning.

Pallbearers are Shane Hudelson, Brenton Hudelson, Justin Hudelson, Bobby Hudelson, Darin Peer and Tyson Wilburn.  Honorary pallbearer is Kadin Hudelson.
