PALM BAY, FL: Carl "JJ" Judson, 43, formerly of Groveland, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 29, 2018, exiting the world as he lived in it, with quiet, dignified grace.

Born in Haverhill on March 17, 1975, he was the son of Carl and Sandra (Saunders) Judson, Sr.

Carl grew up in Groveland where he was an active and respected member of the Groveland Fire Department. He moved to Palm Bay, FL in 2016 where he was employed by Stellar Transportation as a dispatcher, where he again quickly became a respected and popular figure.

A natural athlete, Carl excelled as an elite hockey goaltender. He enjoyed watching hockey games with friends and family. Carl's true joy in life however, was watching his beloved daughters Abigail figure skate, and Steffanie perform on stage. They inherited his abilities to skate and perform in front of an audience.

With a big laugh, bigger smile, and always ready with a witty comeback, he made you feel genuinely fortunate to be part of his life.

Carl is survived by his loving wife of seventeen years, Christine Judson; daughters, Abigail and Steffanie Judson; parents, Carl, Sr. and Sandra Judson, brother, Daniel Judson, and his mother, and father-in-law, Maria and Wayne Carlson; several aunts, uncles, cousins and many grieving and loyal friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend calling hours at Dole, Childs & Shaw Funeral Home, 148 Main Street, Haverhill on Saturday, August 11th from 11:00 to 1:00 p.m. to be followed by interment at Riverview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Carl's name to PKD Foundation, 1001 E 101st Terr., #220, Kansas City, MO 64131. Messages of condolence may be sent to www.dcsfuneralhome.com
