Hudson was a sports and outdoors enthusiast. He was an Eagle Scout and enjoyed golf, basketball, baseball, pickleball, and hunting. He also loved to snow and water ski with family. He was an avid San Antonio Spurs fan – with a great admiration for David Robinson.

He was a member of First Presbyterian Church, the German Club, the San Antonio Country Club and had served on one of the Toastmasters Executive Boards. Hudson was chosen to be a virtual Buddy as part of the HEB/University Health System Body Adventure Health and Wellness exhibit at the Witte Museum.

Hudson was a kind, gentle soul, and loyal friend. He loved to laugh and very much adored comradery, story telling and watching comedies with friends and family. He enjoyed relationships with people from all generations and walks of life. Hudson was someone everyone wanted to spend time with because of his upbeat and playful personality. The way Hudson lived his life was an inspiration to all who were blessed to experience it.
