December 26th 2024.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden passing of 16-year-old US actor Hudson Joseph Meek. Hudson was best known for his role in the hit movie Baby Driver, but he had also made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with 17 projects to his credit, including TV shows like MacGyver and Legacies, and most recently, a role in The School Duel.
Tragically, Hudson's life was cut short when he fell from a moving vehicle in Alabama last week. According to local authorities, the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, the cause of death was blunt force injuries sustained from the fall. Hudson had been dropped off at the 1900 block of Canyon Road in Vestavia Hills when the accident occurred, as reported by People magazine.
Hudson's passion for acting had been evident since 2014, when he landed an uncredited role in The Santa Con. He had always been determined and hardworking, with a tenacity that was admired by everyone who knew him. His family, friends, and colleagues were all devastated by the news of his passing, which was announced on his Instagram page with a photo of him in a suit, smiling brightly.
Fans and friends have been flooding social media with tributes to the talented young actor, who had just attended the premiere of his latest movie, A Different Man, in September. His obituary described him as a reflective and thoughtful person, who had a knack for making everyone around him feel valued and loved. He had a bright future ahead of him, with several projects set to be released in the coming years.
Hudson's family has requested privacy during this difficult time, but they have also shared details about a Celebration of Hudson's Life that will be held on December 28, 2024 at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church. Those who cannot attend in person can join the livestream on Hudson's Instagram account. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that contributions be made to a scholarship in Hudson's memory at his high school.
Hudson was not just a talented actor, but also a devoted son, brother, and friend. He was a sophomore at Vestavia Hills High School and a member of the school's football team. In his free time, he loved playing and watching sports, especially football, basketball, and boxing. He was also a faithful Christian, who found joy in attending Bible study meetings, youth retreats, and mission trips.
His infectious laugh and kind heart will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his parents, Derek and Lani Meek, and his older brother, Tucker. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Meek family as they navigate through this tragic loss.
