Danny (Rex Daniel) Judd

Danny Judd, my son, was only 19 years old when God decided he needed another angel in heaven.
He was not just my only child, he was my best friend. It was always just Danny and I since his
father didn't want to be in the picture. He always knew he was loved by his family and his many
friends.
Curiousity was one of Danny's best qualities throughout his life. This was evident from the day
he was born. He was always looking at things as if he was trying to figure out the how and why of
each thing. Constantly trying to go everywhere and grab everything, made his early years very tiring
for me. When he learned to read, he was able to 'explore', as he put it, the world. Once he
discovered computers, there was no stopping his quest for more knowledge. He was never your straight
A student,but he was so smart.
When you lose a child in their teens, you get to know real fast what kind of friend they were
in their short life. Danny's funeral was non-stop teenagers, their parents, neighbors, teachers and
family. I was so proud of how my little boy had turned into a good man. It showed in how many people
he had touched in his short life.
At the time of his death, Danny was engaged to a beautiful young woman named Sue Jones.
Everytime they looked at each other, you could see the love. Best friends since grade school, their
friendship grew into love.
I will miss my son everyday for the rest of my life. Parents are not meant to outlive their
children, but I have to believe that God has a reason for everything he does. Like I said in the
beginning of this eulogy, God must have needed another angel in heaven.
Danny, I will see you again one day and I will give you the biggest hug. Say hello to Papop for
me. I can just picture the 2 of you together under a tree up in Heaven. I love you so much.
