We celebrate the life of Dudley Heard, who passed away on March 7, 2025, at the age of 74. Born on May 15, 1950, in San Angelo, Texas, Dudley loved the Lord and found comfort and enjoyment in reading his Bible and praying for his friends and family.
A proud Vietnam-era veteran, Dudley served in the U.S. Navy, where he formed lasting bonds and memories that he carried with him throughout his life. Dudley loved his friends dearly and considered them his extended family. He often talked about those he had been close to throughout the years and told stories of the fun they had together. Among those who knew him best are Donald Baker, Richard Easingwood, Judy Ward, Ron Bailey, Ham Collins, Elliot Watts, and Virgil Cook. They would agree that Dudley was known for his kindness, humor, and ability to make friends wherever he went.
Thank you to Visiting Angels Home Health Care and the Virgil Cook family for the many ways they have supported and cared for Dudley over the years.
Dudley was also a faithful supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In honor of his commitment to helping others, the family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. A fund has been set up and donations can be made below.
