Little Jerry was born May 12, 1967 in Minneapolis to Jerry R. & Kathleen M. (Schmidt) Hudson.  He married Kim Riebel on May 1, 1999 at Saron Lutheran Church in Big Lake.  Jerry was a carpenter by trade.  He enjoyed life, especially the outdoors.  He was a hunter, a fisherman, and had a love for the wild side with his motorcycle or snowmobile.  He had a hidden talent of being an artist which he later transformed into turning an old truck into a beautiful piece of art.  He loved his family, especially his wife Kim.  He’d tell everyone how amazing marriage was.  Jerry also had a way with words.  He’d tell you exactly what he was thinking with just a few words.
