Hudson Joseph Meek, born August 5, 2008, was a 16-year-old from Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Hudson's obituary described the child star as having a unique personality. Hudson enjoyed hanging out with his close friends, water sports, anything in the woods, traveling, and acting for television and movies. He enjoyed playing and watching all sports, especially football, basketball, boxing, and anything involving the Auburn Tigers.

Hudson is a contemplative and thoughtful person, but he is very tenacious when he sets his mind to something. He became a certified open water diver at the age of 13 and followed that up with his advanced open water certification later that year. He has visited all 50 states in the US and next wants to visit all 7 continents.

He loves to ski and can easily tackle the most difficult trails that no one else in the family dares to attempt. One of his favorite places to go is at the lake, tubing, and wakeboarding. Some of his less positive accomplishments include his video games and binge-watching every episode of all 36 seasons of “The Simpsons” and many other shows, many of which his parents watched without his knowledge and were probably not age appropriate when he watched them. Hudson has great taste in music and is constantly editing the “perfect playlist” for every occasion. He is very fond of the family dog, “Rosie,” who knows something is wrong at home without him and is grieving in her own way.

Hudson was a sophomore at Vestavia Hills High School and a member of the varsity football team. "Hudson's personality was unique. He was confident, confident in his beliefs, generous and quick-witted. He never let the truth get in the way of a good story. He loved to tease in a friendly way. He was a jokester, a life-saver, and happiest when making others laugh. Hudson thrived in settings that allowed him to meet and serve new people. Hudson was a vibrant and energetic person who lived life to the fullest," the obituary read.
