Randy, a beloved husband, father and grandfather, was friends with virtually every person he met, and he had a particular passion for his family, fishing, shrimping and hunting – and his two granddaughters.
He was born September 5, 1959 in Pasadena and spent most of his youth in Port O’Connor. After retirement from his 30-year career at Lyondell in La Porte, he returned to Port O’Connor, where he operated the Fishing Center. He and his wife Patty had recently completed construction of their retirement home in Port O’Connor.
Randy was particularly involved in youth sports with his kids, where his daughter Brooke played softball for La Porte High School and later Boston University; and where his son Travis played both football and baseball at LPHS, and later at Calhoun High School in Port Lavaca. Randy rarely missed a game.
Preceded in death by his parents Mary Jo and James Hudson, Randy is survived by a truly loving family, including his wife Patty; daughter Brooke Hudson Naghavi and husband Shahin and their daughters Averie and Ariana; and son Travis and his girlfriend Cassie Lawrence.
Also surviving are sister Cheryl and her husband Tom Nowlin and their daughter Misty and her husband Chris as well as sons Jake and Mason; brother Keith Hudson and his wife Yvonne and their daughters Ashley Palomino and her husband Angel, Tiffany Thomas and her husband Robert; and sister Cindy and her husband Grant Lee and their family, including Clay Voss and his wife Lauren, Kayla Taylor and her husband Chase, and daughter Brooke.
Also playing important roles in Randy’s life over the years are Patty’s parents, Glenn and Judy Miller, and Patty’s brother and sisters, including Patty’s sister Sharon and her husband Tim Miller; brother Harold Miller and his wife Vivian and their daughter and son-in-law Michelle and Sean Kennedy; brother Ronnie Miller and his wife Sheila and their son Jacob; and sister Victoria Heidaker and her husband Mark and their son Logan and daughter Kyla.
