Griffith Dudding III

Griffith Dudding III, of Las Vegas, NV, died peacefully on January 8, 2026. Born on July 30, 1971, in Bethlehem, PA, he was the son of Leann Dudding and the late Griffith Dudding, Jr. He was graduated from Salisbury High School in 1989 with many awards and graduated from Dartmouth College in 1993 with a BS degree in Chemistry. After attending a year at Tulane Medical School, he left to pursue other interests. He was a bright individual with an exceptional ability in mathematics and tutored many students in math, chemistry and physics.

As an instructor at Stanley H. Kaplan in Pennsylvania and Louisiana, he instructed classes for the MCAT, the Medical College Admission test. He loved sports and worked as a basketball referee at UNLV (University of Nevada Las Vegas) and for the Southern Nevada Officials Association. He loved watching baseball and football, especially the Phillies and Eagles. He loved to read, travel, play tennis and play cards. It was his interest in mathematics and cards that led him to the desire to create a Casino game which was in progress at his death and nearing completion. Griff had a deep compassion for the less fortunate and would always be ready to help someone in need.

He will be missed and never forgotten by his mother who loved him dearly and by his uncles, aunts, and many cousins who are all saddened by his death.
