Dennis Myron Hudson

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis "Denny" Myron Hudson, age 63, of Lewes, DE on Sunday, August 18, 2024.  He was a beloved husband, father, friend, and family member in the community.

Denny was born in Lewes, DE, the youngest of four sons born to Claude William Hudson, Sr. (originally of Ocean View, DE) and Adrienne "Didi" Margaret Stokes Hudson (originally of Paris, FR).  His parents operated the family-owned Stokes Hotel at the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and First Street in downtown Rehoboth Beach, where he grew up in idyllic "old" Rehoboth.  He graduated Cape Henlopen High School with the class of 1978. (Go Vikings!)

For many years Denny worked in the construction trades and was a successful contractor. Later, he devoted his life to care for his special needs daughter, Samantha.  He greatly enjoyed surf fishing, duck hunting, surfing, horseshoes, and darts throughout his lifetime. His talent in the kitchen was enjoyed by all as he had a passion for the culinary arts. He was a man of patience and calm spirit, loved nature, and never strayed far from the ocean because his "gills would dry up" as he was known to say.  He also had a soft spot for his beloved Bokeelia, FL where he spent winters as part of his upbringing.

He is preceded in death by his daughter, Samantha Hudson; son, Daniel Hudson; brother, Claude William "Bill" Hudson, Jr.; sister-in-law Daisey Hudson; and parents Claude and Adrienne Hudson.

He is survived by his wife, Lisa Hudson of Lewes, DE; his children, son Dennis Hudson (Lola) of Virginia Beach, VA; and daughter Jennifer Hudson of Millsboro, DE; and grandchildren Joshua, Jacob, and James of Millsboro, DE; his brothers, Towar "Terry" Hudson (Karen) of Rehoboth Beach, DE, and Adrian "Sprig" Hudson (Kathy) of Millsboro, DE; as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.  A celebration of life will take place in the spring 2025.
