Alexander Jamaal Hudson

Passionate. In one word, that describes Alexander Jamaal Hudson, passionate. Alexander, aged 30, born October 3, 1994, went home to be with his Lord and personal savior on February 10, 2025. Born and raised in Connecticut, Alexander was a 10-year resident of Lake Mary, Florida. Alexander was a vibrant soul with a magnificent smile who lived life to the fullest, embracing every moment with joy and enthusiasm. If you walked by Alexander, he would say hello; if you sat next to him for the first time as a stranger, you would depart as friends. He was so loving and unforgettable. Alexander was a 2012 alumnus of South Windsor High School, where he played basketball, honed his skills as a jazz percussionist, and developed deep bonds with his friends and their families. He attended Hampton University, earning a Bachelor of Applied Science in Sports Management. While at Hampton, Alexander was a leader on the historic Hampton University Men’s Lacrosse team. As a college senior in 2015-16, Hampton was the first HBCU to field a Division-1 Men’s lacrosse program. Before HU LAX was D-1, Alexander played for the pure love of the sport and the comradery of his teammates. Alexander graduated in 2016 and worked part-time for Disney/ESPN as an Assistant Site Director and also worked at LA Fitness. He then started his career in Human Resources /Talent Acquisition, Staffing, and Recruitment as a Recruiter & Business Development Manager for Nesco. He would progress throughout his career, earning 14 Human Resource certifications. Alexander’s personality, drive, and work ethic were unmatched, and deservingly, he won Rookie of the Year after joining the AMS organization in 2022. He finished Top 3 in 2023 for all recruiters in the Americas Region. His final position in 2025 was Senior Recruiter - Finance, North America for Morgan Stanley. His colleagues and clients consistently attest to his drive, professionalism, and partnership skills. He was a true team player, no matter what he did. In addition to his passion for God, family, and friends, when you think of Alexander, sports, teamwork, and partnership are the constant threads here. Alexander was a hall-of-fame and loyal fan of the UCONN Huskies, the New England Patriots, the Boston Celtics, the Bruins, and the Red Sox. Last but certainly not least, he was a fan of Formula One racing and would travel around the country to see his favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton, the first driver of African descent to win a Formula One World Drivers Championship, a feat he accomplished a record eight times. Alexander is survived by his mother, Carolyn Bentley Hudson of Florida; his father, Cecil Hudson of Connecticut, and his siblings, Trinity Hudson, Christopher Hudson, and Nya Hudson, all of Connecticut; his Godmothers Beverly Hudson of Connecticut, Glenda Grace of North Carolina, and his Godfather Timothy Waters of California. He is also survived by countless aunties, uncles, cousins, and friends who greatly loved him. All who met Alexander, agree he is unforgettable. The family encourages you to remember his bright smile, gregarious nature, and how he made you feel. As Maya Angelou says “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. Alexander Jamaal Hudson will remain in our thoughts, hearts, and spirits forever.
