James W. Rudloff

Of Jackson passed away, June 19, 2014. He is survived by his mother, A. Norene Rudloff, son, Todd Rudloff, daughter, Rachel Rudloff, three grandsons, Brandon, Dylan, and Trey, and sister, Pat Beatty of Charlotte, NC. Preceded in death by his father, William Rudloff, and wife, Roxanne Rudloff.

Rudy graduated from Jackson High School and then went on to get his Certification as a Tool Maker at Jackson Community College. He was employed by Miller Tool and Die for 42 years until retirement.

Rudy loved being outdoors and in earlier years liked to fish and hunt. Some will remember him for his time dedicated to coaching baseball and softball for Todd and Rachel. In his retirement years he spent time as caregiver for his Mother, enjoyed watching all types of movies and any programs involving history. He was a great cook and loved to eat! Rudy could strike up a conversation with anyone he met, had a great sense of humor, and loved to laugh.

Rudy lived life to its fullest and never looked back. His time with us was far too short and he will be greatly missed by family and many friends.

According to his wishes cremation has been selected. Friends and family are invited for a visitation on Thursday, June 26th, 2014 at Burden Funeral Home from 5–7 P.M. Private family services will follow.
