 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. In 
							September of 2014, they renewed their vows before 
							God and their families. Sheryl preceded him in death 
							on December 11, 2015. Just 18 hours after Sheryl 
							passed away, David joined her. Unable to spend even 
							24 hours apart, Sheryl and David were reunited for 
							eternity.
 
 He was a member of Open Arms Christian Fellowship. 
							David was an over the road truck driver for many 
							years. He was a well-known musician/bass player in 
							several bands, beginning with Flatbush and ending 
							with Traces N Time with Gary Osborne. He was a 
							Harley Davidson enthusiast. He and Sheryl enjoyed 
							riding their motorcycle together. He always made 
							time for his grandchildren; they held a special 
							place in his heart. 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.
