Rick Eugene Zudell

Rick Eugene Zudell, of Waterford, formerly of Davison passed away on March 10, 2025, at 69 years old. He was born on February 9, 1956, to loving parents John Eugene and Jewelanne Zudell. Rick was a man who cherished his relationships, especially the one he had with his best friend and wife, Tina. Together, Rick and Tina built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared memories. He dedicated 32 years to General Motors, where he worked until his retirement. His passion for all things mechanical made him a true "motorhead." In his free time, Rick enjoyed working on cars and spending time at the shooting range, pursuing the hobbies that brought him joy and fulfillment. Rick is survived by his loving wife, Tina Zudell; his sister Melody (Jerry) Smith; his nieces; his nephews; many close friends; and his beloved pet, an English Cream Retriever named Paige. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Jewelanne Zudell and his brother Bart Zudell. Rick will be remembered for his warmth, his enthusiasm for life, funny sense of humor, and his commitment to the things he loved. He will be deeply missed by all. A special thank you to Mid-Michigan Hospice, nurse Ashley Johnson for their incredible care.  In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Michigan Animal Rescue League via 790 Featherstone St, Pontiac, MI 48342 or https://marl.org/
