Buzz attended Decatur High School and went to college at Auburn University. He always had a love for the outdoors, things like fishing and going out on the river were his favorite things to do. He had a deep love for everyone that came into his life, especially his family. He always welcomed anyone with open arms and always had a way to make people laugh.

He was married to the love of his life Theresa Dianne Hudson, and they were blessed with two sons. Theresa was his whole world, and their love was something that everyone that knew them admired. Theresa preceded him in death on March 14, 2018.

Buzz Hudson was an avid lover of anything Auburn and continued that love into his children and grandchildren. He had a beautiful life teaching his grandchildren in all things outdoors and loved getting to spend most of his life out on the refuge. He was a generous spirit and had an amazing personality, which made him loved by many. His influence and knowledge will remain forever in the lives of all who knew him.

His beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of his children, grandchildren, and family: he was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Theresa Hudson. Survivors include sister Janice Barbin (Randy) of Danville AL, sons Linn Standridge (Stacey) of Madisonville, LA and Brandon Hudson (Jennifer) of Decatur, AL.
