Roy Lee Hudson

Age 67, a resident of Fayetteville, Arkansas, left this world to join his Lord and Savior on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at his home surrounded by family. He was born April 27, 1957 in Wilburton, Oklahoma, the son of John and Cledith (Stacy) Hudson.

Roy attended Prairie Grove School and at the age of 18 he began a career at Allen Canning Company, where he worked his way up to plant manager at the Springdale and Johnson Plants. He retired from Allen Canning after 31 years and went on to work in the HVAC industry another 10 years before retiring again.

He loved his family deeply and would do anything for anyone who would ask him. He so enjoyed sitting at his home watching the many deer and other animals that were always playing in his yard. He was an avid NASCAR fan.

I’m at a loss for words… Thank you for always being there for me. Helping me with my mower and answering my stupid car questions even arguing with the neighbors! I’m sure gonna miss hearing your 4-wheeler coming down the road and sitting outside and talking for hours. You will truly be missed. Until we meet again, fly high.

I always enjoyed getting to spend what time i did with uncle Roy. Just listening to some of the stories he would tell once in awhile was a great time to me. A good man that will be missed dearly
