Paul David Judd

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Paul David Judd, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Paul, 71, of Lebanon, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2025. He was born on February 24, 1954, in Baxter, Tennessee.

Paul was a man of many talents and passions. As a skilled mechanic, woodworker, and handyman, he spent his life using his hands to build, repair, and create. He found immense joy in woodworking and loved nothing more than working on projects that brought beauty to the world around him. Paul was always ready to lend a hand to others, whether it was helping a neighbor, working on a family project, or offering a word of advice. His kindness and generosity knew no bounds.

Above all, Paul loved spending time with his family. He was a proud father to his four children, Brandi (Don) Kappel, Natasha (Kevin) Hacker, Nicholas Judd, and Nicole Judd, and cherished his role as a grandfather to Ryan Seckinger, Jayce Tyree, and Malia Cossel. Sundays were especially meaningful to him as they were reserved for family gatherings, where they would share meals and memories. He leaves behind a beloved brother, Gary Judd, and sister Janet Judd, as well as his loving niece, Melanie Judd.

Paul had a soft spot for his puppies, Lulu and Cooper, and found peace in their companionship. His warmth, humor, and caring nature will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Paul is preceded in death by his mother, Melvina Strickland, his father, W.F. Judd, his sister, Debbie Kimbro, and niece, Kristy Griggs.

A celebration of life will be held on March 22nd at Abundant Life Church at 1000 Woodridge Place Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Visitations will be held at 1 PM and service will begin at 2 PM to celebrate Paul's life and the impact he made on all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
