In Memory of Rudy: Support for the Watkins Family

Hello everyone, we are Violet and Josh, friends of the Watkins family. It is with an extremely heavy heart to we tell you that on Wednesday night, September 4th, Rudy peacefully passed away. Rudy had been fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer for just over a year.

Rudy was an incredible father, son, and friend to so many people. His laugh could be noticed in any room and his presence was immediately felt. He could be counted on for the best of company. He left us too soon, leaving behind a family who now faces not only the emotional burden of this unimaginable loss but also the financial challenges that come with such a tragedy. Those who met Rudy are among a lucky crowd and will forever remember him.

Rudy left behind his loving parents and wonderful children, Brianna and Andrew. It would be a service to humanity if we could help these incredible people deal with the financial side of losing a loved one. No amount is too little to donate; if you cannot contribute, we ask you to share this with your network to help spread the word.

Thank you for taking the time to read about how incredible Rudy was. Nothing can repair the broken hearts of this family, we ask you to send them all your love and support.

We will update this page with information about the funeral.
