Judadia “Jud” Hakkers

Judadia “Jud” Hakkers, tragically, but doing what he loved, departed our lives on Oct. 4, 2024 in Huntsville, Ontario in his 43rd year.

 

The adoring husband of Jen for 16 years, Jud was the proud and amazing dad of Brooklyn and Mckenzie. He was the brother of Jesse and Alicia, the son of Nancy and Gerald and the grandson of Lois Rowe. He was the brother-in-law of Kelly and Joseph Snively, son-in-law of Betty Andrews, and the uncle of Quinnlyn, Carlie, Thomas, Charlotte and Hudson.

 

Jud will be missed by many aunts, uncles and cousins.

 

Jud loved his life! He loved his family more than anything, had love everlasting with his wife and was beyond proud of his children. He loved taking care of his family, making sure that they were engaged with each other and teaching with each experience. 

 

He taught his kids how to work on cars, play soccer and take care of horses. He was an inspiring parent and husband. Jud also loved being outside, he enjoyed being a fixer and his hands were always dirty. 

 

Jud loved cars. He was always fixing cars and ran his own auto detailing business on the side to keep himself busy. Jud loved to work. Starting out at Sparling’s/Parkland Propane, he worked his way to the top to become District Manager for Southwestern Ontario. His hard work and work ethic showed in every job he took on. 

 

His patience was outstanding, and he had the sarcasm to match. He loved to play soccer and baseball and was always involved in something. We will miss his hugs and tickle fights and watching thunderstorms together. We hope you are doing burnouts in your Grand National wherever you are.

 

A private family service will take place and a celebration of Jud’s life will take place at a later date.
