Andrew Kevin Hudson, 18, of Connelly Springs, passed away on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at Hemby Children’s Hospital following a courageous battle with leukemia.
Andrew was born July 15, 2006 in Mecklenburg County to Kevin Hudson and Nicole Pollack Hudson. He was a rising senior at East Burke High School where he ran cross country and was on the track team and was a member of the band playing percussion and low brass. Andrew had the biggest heart and an old soul; he worried more about everyone else than himself.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Nicholas Andrew Pollack and Martha Pollack Mobley.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his grandfather, Lester Hudson and grandmother, Patsy Smith and husband Alan; uncle, Darrell Hudson; aunt, Connie Cheek; and cousins, Alex Hudson, Courtney Cheek, and Olivia Cheek.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 5:00 PM in the Chapel of Heritage Funeral Service with Pastor Isaac Propst officiating.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, prior to the service from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Heritage Funeral Service.
Memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
Heritage Funeral Service and Crematory in Valdese is assisting the family.
This is so sad he was way too young . He had a lot of life to live yet but I guess God needed him more . Prayers for his family and friends.
Prayers for Family and Friends
