Jeffrey Kudla

Jeffrey "Jeff" Kudla, beloved husband, stepfather, son, brother, and friend, passed away on September 23, 2025, at the age of 39.

Born on February 4, 1986, in Newport, Rhode Island, Jeff was the cherished son of Michael Kudla and Pamela Lewis. He spent his formative years in New Hampshire, attending New Searles Elementary School, Nashua Catholic Regional Junior High, and Bishop Guertin High School before going on to earn his degree from Fairfield University.

Jeff married the love of his life, Kristina Kudla (Rogers), and together they built a life full of love, laughter, and meaningful family moments over their five years of marriage. As a devoted stepfather, he brought warmth, humor, and stability into the lives of those he loved. His deep sense of family and unwavering support for those closest to him defined who he was.

An avid football fan, Jeff especially cherished Sundays spent watching Patriots games with his brother-a weekly ritual filled with passionate cheering, friendly banter, and plenty of wings and pizza. His love of the game was matched only by his love of those he shared it with.

Jeff had a sharp memory, a quick wit, and a gift for making others laugh. His sense of humor was unforgettable, and his kindness touched everyone who knew him. He was incredibly thoughtful and always knew the right thing to say or do to lift someone's spirits. A fierce cribbage player, he proudly carried on the tradition taught to him by his grandfather, adding yet another thread to the rich fabric of his family's legacy. Jeff loved being in the water-whether it was the ocean or a small pond, he was happiest when he was swimming and soaking it all in.

Above all else, Jeff will be remembered as an amazing husband, a devoted stepfather, and a family man through and through. His absence leaves an unfillable space in the lives of those who knew and loved him, but his memory will live on in the laughter he brought, the support he gave, and the love he so freely shared.

In addition to his wife Kristy, Jeff is survived by his dad Michael and his wife Jocelyn; his stepdaughter Arilyn; his siblings Emily Kudla and her wife Allison Barclay of Hudson, Thomas Kudla of Hudson, Joseph "Joe" Kudla of Nashua, and Theodore "Teddy" Kudla of Nashua; his paternal grandmother Georgia Kudla of Whitesboro, NY; his parents in laws Randy and Janet Rogers of Stoneham, MA; his in laws Jay Rogers and his wife Melissa of Nashua and Keith Rogers and his wife Sharon of Andover, MA; his nieces and nephews Jasmine, Jade, Julia, Leona, and Rutherford; as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Jeff was predeceased by his mother Pamela.
