Dennis James "Lou" Judd

His Legacy… Dennis James "Lou" Judd, age 87, passed away January 4, 2026. He was born on the family farm with his twin, Diane, on December 20, 1938 in Fowlerville, MI to Hulett and Eileen (Mulvaney) Judd. His family was among Michigan's earliest settlers, arriving in Michigan in 1831. Dennis lived his entire life on Judd Road, as did his father and grandfather. He attended Briggs Country School on Judd Road with his five siblings and cousins thru eighth grade. Dennis graduated from Fowlerville High School in 1957. He worked for 40 years in various capacities at Klein Fertilizers until the company was sold. Dennis married Aileen Berry on October 3, 1964 in Howell, MI. He enjoyed raising a family of four children with Aileen. Dennis was a lifetime member of St. Agnes Catholic Church in Fowlerville where he served as lector, Eucharistic minister, and on the church council. Dennis was also a member of Fowlerville Rotary Club. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, camping, gardening, and playing in the Fowlerville Men's Golf League. Most of all, he loved watching his grandchildren perform in the band or multiple sports at Fowlerville and Webberville schools.

Dennis never lost his love for farming and had great respect for the farmers he served over the years. They were the hardest workers he knew. Dennis lived through great changes in agriculture from farming with teams of horses to using GPS controlled farm equipment. As his health failed late in his life, Dennis still wanted to drive by the fields to see how the crops were doing.
