William Craig Hudson of San Angelo, Texas, passed away on March 30, 2023 at the age of 65. He was born on February 13, 1958 in San Angelo, Texas to parents Peggy Sue Barker and William Charles Hudson.
Craig lived in Casper Wyoming in his younger years with his mother and father and brother Cliff Hudson. He later moved to Sonora, Texas where he finished his high school years. Craig was active in One Act during his tenure in high school, it was some of his favorite memories.
After High School he worked for Chandler Well Services, then Coca Cola in San Angelo. He moved back to Sonora in 1983 and worked at Sutton Specialty Electric, where he met and married his first and only wife, Joan Schrier. Together they moved to Houston, Texas where he went to Micro Technologies Institute and gained his Occupational Studies degree in Computer Science. He used this knowledge to work as a Computer Network Engineer in Houston for 15 years.
Upon having their son, Jay Hudson, in 1998 they returned home to Sonora in 1999 and started their own company, Hudson Technology Consulting, Inc. In 2014 an opportunity to work for Baker Hughes presented itself and off he went to Snyder, Texas to work as an E-Tech. When the oil field went down, after some travel, he returned to San Angelo, Texas where he retired.
Craig and his son Jay enjoyed many an afternoon fishing at the lakes in San Angelo. He had a unique way of looking at life and a slightly off beat sense of humor. He loved his Harley motorcycle and was teaching Jay how to ride.
Craig was preceded by his father Charles Hudson, his mother Peggy, and his brother Clifton Charles Hudson. He is survived by his ex-wife Joan Schrier Hudson; his son Jay Stuart Hudson; his niece Lea Ann Hudson and his cousins Nick Nicholson, Vicki Nicholson Maddy, and Selma Nell Stubblefield Glasscock and many dear friends he made over the years.
Craig’s wish was to be cremated. His ashes will be buried next his mother Peggy and brother Cliff at the Sonora Cemetery on Saturday, April 15th at 10:00 am and a short grave side service will be held. We ask that in lieu of flowers please donate to the American Heart Association.
