Stephen (Bubba) Craig Hudgins, Jr., of Covington, passed away Sunday, October 7, 2018, at the age of 20. Bubba was a 2016 graduate of Alpha Omega High School. He was a Christian young man and a lifelong member of The Baptist Tabernacle, where he actively participated with several ministries. In addition to being a member of the Joy Sunday School Class, he worked with the youth for many years and was also part of the outdoor ministry. Bubba was equipped with an exceptional work ethic. He worked six days a week with the R.E. Michel Company, in Conyers, and had just recently started his own landscaping business, Newton Lawn Pros. An outdoorsman through and through, Bubba carved out time to enjoy his favorite activities - hunting, fishing and boating.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dr. Derrell D. Hudgins.
