Daytona Beach - Judson "Juddy" Irving Woods, Jr., 85, of Daytona Beach, passed away on October 9, 2025, at Emory L. Bennett State Veterans' Nursing Home.

Born in Gainesville on October 1, 1940, Juddy was a proud Florida Gator, earning his BA and JD from the University of Florida. He served with honor as an officer in the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps and later practiced law in the greater Daytona Beach area for more than 50 years.

Juddy was a devoted family man who loved spending time with his loved ones, as well as watching his Florida Gators and spending time in the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting.

Juddy is survived by his children, Kelly (Jeff), Judson, and Clint (Sara), his beloved grandson Dakota, nephews Thomas, Judson, Daniel, and Clay, and Carolyn Woods, the mother of his children. He is predeceased by his parents, sisters, and brothers-in-law.
