Sergeant Richard Bruce Hudson

Sergeant Richard Bruce Hudson, 67, of Dothan, Alabama lost a short but fierce battle to pancreatic cancer in the comfort of his own home on February 16, 2020.

Funeral services will be held at 4 pm on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 in Sunset Funeral Home Chapel with Chaplain Eddie Henderson officiating. Burial with honors provided by the Dothan Police Department will be in Sunset Memorial Park. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Wednesday from 2:30-4 pm.

With the Dothan Police Department, Sergeant Hudson faithfully and humbly protected and served its citizens for 37 years. A man of optimism he loved the Atlanta Braves and Falcons. Being a mixture of Andy Taylor and any John Wayne character, he unconditionally loved and lead his family with true grit, unwavering loyalty, and pure integrity. Bruce did so much for so many and exemplified what is to be good and decent. He will always be loved, remembered and terribly missed.

Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Tommie Nell; sister Susan and brother Thomas.
