Dalton Patrick Hudgins, 16, of Cleveland, Tennessee, passed away Wednesday, May 20, 2015, in a North Carolina Hospital.
He had the most amazing smile and laugh. He was papaw’s “Little Man” and the strongest person we knew. He loved Disney movies and more than anything, listening to his dad and brother play music for him. He brought joy to every person he met and never expected anything in return. He was his mother’s sunshine, his father’s strength and his brother’s best friend. To the rest of the world, he was, is, and always will be proof that there are angels here with us.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandmothers, Iona Hudgins and Emmie Sue Fisher; grandpa, Jerry Montgomery; aunt, Deanna Yates-Montgomery; and great-aunt, Darlene Ogle.
He is survived by his mother, Valerie Montgomery; father, Jason Montgomery; brother, Blaze Montgomery; grandparents, Ralph and Mary Hudgins and Elizabeth Montgomery; aunts and uncles, Stephanie Hamby, Stacy Watkins, James and Kristen Montgomery and Steve and Lisa Montgomery; and cousins, Rachel and Jacqueline Epperson and Matt and Megan Montgomery.

The family will receive friends on Friday May 22, from 5-8 p.m. at Grissom~Serenity Funeral Home, who has charge of the arrangements.
