Dale Thomas Hudson of Mountain Home, Arkansas, passed away peacefully at his home Saturday, March 6, 2021, after a brave battle with cancer. He was born August 8, 1956, in Delano, California, to parents Connie and Freeda Hudson. Dale married his high school sweetheart, Cynthia Jo Atkinson on June 12, 1976, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He and Cynthia grew up in Alpaugh, CA and lived there until 2000, when they moved to Mountain Home. Dale followed his dad's career as a truck driver and hay hauler which he began early in life.
