He was born on September 5, 1954, in Mansfield, Ohio, to the late John and Elizabeth (Hager) Kudrak. David graduated from Mansfield Senior High School in 1972. He started his career at Mansfield Tool & Die that same year. In 1978 he went to Hydromatic to become an industrial engineer. David was hired to work at General Motors from 1980 to 2010, spanning 30 years as a tool & die maker. He had a wonderful sense of humor with the great ability of making people laugh. He told many stories during family gatherings of the adventures he had growing up with his two brothers.
David was in many golf leagues throughout the years and was an incredible cook. He could always be heard cheering on his beloved, Ohio State Buckeyes. David will be truly missed by everyone that had the opportunity to enjoy his fun-loving personality.
David is survived by his wife of 23 years, Mary Brewer Kudrak; son, Erik Kudrak (Layne Baisden); and two brothers, John (Mary Ann) Kudrak and Bob (Denise) Kudrak.
