Jeffrey Hudak Obituary
Born on July 20, 1985, and raised in West Scranton, Jeff was the son of Jeff Hudak of Ransom and Linda (Olivieri) Pagnotti of Old Forge. He attended Lackawanna College before becoming a licensed barber upon completion of his courses at Empire Beauty School. In August of 2012 he opened Diesel Hair Studio in Scranton, where his skills as a barber and passion for his work resulted in a tremendous customer following. He became much more than just a barber. He became a trusted friend.
Beyond the shop, he loved riding his motorcycle, enjoyed the beach, cherished family time, but above all else, he was happiest when being with his daughter. He would want nothing more now than for Natalie to know how much her Daddy loved her.
Leaving an amazing impact on all of those who knew him, Jeff will be deeply missed by his family and friends alike.
He is also survived by his sister, Brittany Rhodes and husband, Adam, of Old Forge; his grandmother, Marie (Carfelo) Hudak, of Scranton; his in-laws, Jack and Paula Pajor, of Old Forge; his sister-in-law, Amanda Duffy and husband, Michael, of Newton Square; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and friends.
A special aunt, Simone Ann Hudak-Johns, who Jeff shared a special bond, also preceded him in death.
A blessing service, to be conducted by Rev. August Ricciardi, Prince of Peace Parish pastor, will be Monday at 7 p.m. in the Thomas P. Kearney Funeral Home Inc., 517 N. Main St., Old Forge.
Relatives and friends are welcome to celebrate Jeff's life on Monday from 4 p.m. until blessing.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Natalie Hudak's education fund, c/o Bank of America. Please visit the funeral home's website for directions, flowers or to leave a condolence.
