Dennis Wayne Dudley, Jr., age 55, of Jackson, Tennessee, passed away at his residence on September 26, 2025.
He was born on August 6, 1970, in Jackson, Tennessee.
Dennis lived a life full of passion and curiosity. An avid bagpiper, he seized every opportunity to play and share the music he loved. His deep appreciation for history meant he could captivate anyone with stories, especially about the world wars, fighter planes, and the rich traditions of Scottish and Irish heritage.
He was also a gifted artist, known for his talent in drawing and his dedication to building model airplanes. An attendant of South Side High School in Jackson, Dennis carried with him a love for learning and creating that defined his life.
Dennis was preceded in death by his father, Dennis Wayne Dudley, Sr., and his mother, Sherry Jean Wheat.
He is survived by his stepmother Jenny Goff, sisters, Chastity Harris (Jeff), Wendy Coady (Bert), Allexus Boyd(Tyler), and Jennifer Frenn; nieces and nephews, Madison, Jake, Levi, Charlie, Harrison, and Hattie; and one great-niece, Adriana.
Visitation and service arrangements are incomplete.
Dennis will be remembered for his love of music, history, and art, and for the joy and knowledge he shared with all who knew him.
