Joseph Clay Hudson, age 68, of Sonora, Tx passed away on March 8th. Born on December 23rd, 1956 in San Angelo, Texas. Joe Hudson was the son of Gladys Burress and Clinton Hudson. Growing up, Joe was known for his mischievous spirit and sense of adventure. Alongside his siblings, John Clark, Robert “Buddy” Clark, Clinard “Skipper” Hudson, and Diane Bevers, he spent countless hours exploring and making memories—whether it was swinging from ropes into the Christoval River or climbing trees to see the world from above. His time with his siblings was filled with laughter, pranks, and a bond that would last a lifetime. Joseph was known by many names. Most knew him as Joe. Others knew him as JoJo, Psycho Joe, and JoeMama. Those closest to him knew him as Dad, Grandpa, and PaPa. Joe Hudson dedicated his life to decades in the oilfield. A career that demanded long hours throwing chains, latching pipe and racing to make the next connection. It required hard work and countless sacrifices. While his job often took him away from his family, he always worked tirelessly to provide for them. His commitment to his work was unwavering, and his effort and dedication were felt by all who knew him. Though the job was tough and took a toll on his body, Joe always gave his best, and his legacy of hard work and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Joe Hudson was not perfect, but his strength came not from being without mistakes, but from never giving up.
Joe Hudson is survived by his wife Kavina Hudson, and his children: Christopher Hudson, Gary Hudson, Kristina Gaitan, Danielle Damian, Clinton Hudson, Rebecca Antunez and Joseph Hudson Jr. He is also remembered by his grandchildren: Beverley, Christopher, Sierra, Zac, Evonne, Anthony, Jerimiah, Amethyst, Anabel, Sophia, Maliki, Jazmine, and many other family members and friends who will miss him.
