Growing up my parents were not involved in my life. The lord blessed me with the Judds. When you think of family , the Judds are the definition. Gary is the best dad I have ever seen. He was very involved in his families lives and put them first. Thank you Gary for being a father to me .

I didn't know Gary Judd personally but I would like to send my condolences. May you pray to God to bring you comfort during this time. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

The whole Judd family was such an important part of my high school years. I spent so much time at the house on 2nd Avenue and had so many adventures with the whole family. I remember Gary and Patsy would bring their own chairs for Spencer's grandparents and sit at the side of the bleachers to watch all of his basketball games. I can't imagine how much you all are hurting right now, but I can only hope that you're comforted by all of the memories of family, fun and laughter that Gary was a part of. I miss you all and am keeping you in my prayers.

I worked with Gary at the Pima County Jail years ago. He was one of my favorite partners to work with. Gary could turn any bad situation into the most comical situation. You could never be in a bad or sad mood with Gary around. Pasty, I'am so sorry for Gary's passing. His memories will always bring a smile, and most likely a laughing out loud moment. Gary will be truly missed. I will miss my friend.

Gary was the best partner I could have ever worked with at the jail. He was funny, caring, and he loved hearing my baseball stories. I cherish the memories I have with him. He will live in my heart forever.

My sincere condolences to the Judd family. I worked with Gary years ago at the Pima County Jail. He and I attended numerous SF Giant games and I remember how happy he was sitting in the stands.
Rest in Peace Gary.

All of our love to the Judd family. Gary was an amazingly loving and caring father and grandpa. We loved to listen to him talk about his time with his grandkids, his love and pride was so evident. He was so friendly and happy. He will be missed.
