Adam J. Judd, of Holland, also known to some as Juddy, Grizz, or to his pups as Dad left us all too soon on January 26. Adam made many friends in his short lifetime. He was always willing to lend a hand and would drop whatever he was doing to help a friend in need. He was well loved by his family. He was born on July 22, 1984 in Newport to Larry and Diane (Haskins) Judd.

Although Adam never married, he had his children, his black and tan coonhounds, Tracker and Savage. He loved them with all his might and they loved him back. Black and tans aren't usually lapdogs, but these two were.

Adam graduated from North Country Union High School in 2002. He excelled at building and took a job at Tetreault Lumber where he not only worked for many years but became a part of the Tetreault family. He then went to work for Pike Industries with his Dad and then with his brother. He worked at the Lavender Farm for a period of time for and with his cousin Michele which he loved doing. Most recently he was working as Assistant Town Clerk in Holland with his mom. He enjoyed learning more about the town that he grew up in and meeting more of Holland's residents.

He loved being outside and meeting people. I don't think there was anyone that he couldn't strike up a conversation with. He loved to fish, hunt, go snowmobiling and 4 wheeling. In recent years he fell in love with riding motorcycles. He loved getting out on his Harley and enjoyed the rumble and the freedom of the open road.

Adam is survived by his parents Larry and Diane Judd of Holland, brothers and sisters, John and Emily Judd of Newport Center and Eric and Jessica Judd of Holland. He also leaves behind his favorite niece Olivia Judd of Newport Center, and treasured nephews, Cameron, Braxton and Zander Judd of Holland and Parker Judd of Newport Center. He treasured his time with them and would rough house, play games, or just love them. He was affectionately known as "Unc". He also leaves his paternal grandfather Lawrence Judd, Sr, and Uncles Bruce (Christine), Glenn (Mickey), Aunts, Donna (Jim) and Lisa (Dave). He also leaves behind his brother from another mother, Dan Daggett of Newport. He leaves behind many cousins and special friends. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Floyd and Alice (Gonyeau) Haskins, paternal grandmother, Mabel (Sykes) Judd, uncles Keith Judd and Michael Haskins and his wife Dorinda.

Adam touched many lives in his short time here on earth. He was loved dearly and is missed fiercely.

The family will be holding a celebration of life at his parent's home at 360 Stagecoach Lane in Holland to celebrate him on his birthday which is July 22. All are welcome.
