David was born January 22, 1959, in Lincoln, the son of Virgil Hugh and Loretta Ann (Shaw) Hudson. He married Sheryl VanCleve in December of 1979. Their love story crossed many boundaries and years.

Unable to spend even 24 hours apart, Sheryl and David were reunited for eternity.

David was also a John Deere enthusiast, even selling one of his motorcycles to buy a tractor. He enjoyed working on lawnmowers, watches, and anything mechanical. David and Sheryl considered many friends as family. They never turned anyone away and always made sure that everyone knew that they were loved and supported.
