Monty Hudson Obituary
Monty was born in Blackfoot, Idaho on June 7, 1937, the son of Harry "Eddie" and Martha Donia Howell.
Monty lived with his mother in his grandparents' home in Blackfoot until age 10, then he was raised by Jake Ketchum and his mother Donia when they married. He attended schools in Blackfoot, graduating from Blackfoot High School in 1955. Directly after graduation, he joined the US Air Force and served his country for 4 years. He was in California and Texas, but mostly served at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas NV.
On March 25, 1960, Monty and Alice John were married in Blackfoot.
He worked with his stepdad at Wise-Buy and a short time in construction, then started his 36 year career at Basic American Foods, where he was a manager in production.
Monty was a past member of the Elks Lodge. He loved to fish and hunt and enjoyed showing off his '53 Hudson in car shows and won many awards with it. His life was centered around his wife and family.
Monty is survived by his wife of 63 years, Alice Hudson; his sons, Jerald Lynn Hudson, living in the Republic of Georgia, and John (Dana) Hudson, both of Blackfoot; his sister-in-law, Carol Hudson of Pocatello; 3 grandchildren, Dana Levi Hudson, Alicia Jean (Zach Wynn) Hudson and John Rush (McKell Neff) Hudson; and great grandchildren, Skyler Hope Hudson, Phoebe Ailene Prine, Patrick Lynn Prine, Micah Rush Hudson, Sage Hudson, Paxton Neff and Maizee Given.

It is with much sadness that I heard of the passing of Monty. I enjoyed the time we worked together. His can-do attitude was only exceeded by his smile and great outlook and love for his family.

Alice: We are sending hugs to you and your family. We have always loved you and Monty and the boys! We have happy thoughts for anyone who has raised a family of boys! We are visiting family hours and hours away from Blackfoot or we would be there to give you a hug in person. May you feel the peace and calm of knowing he is getting reacquainted with Jeff.
