Hudson's father paid an emotional tribute to his son, saying: "The grief we feel for the loss of a son, my son, stepson, nephew, and grandson cannot be understated. Hudson was a quiet but cheeky chappy, who's love for cars was as big as the love for his family and friends."
"Hudson was adored, loved, cherished, and everyday brought a smile to those that he loved and loved him. Hudson no longer being here is truly devastating for me as his dad and my family."
"It's soul destroying and the grief is unimaginable. I thank those for the messages of love and support, we would appreciate respect and privacy for Hudson and my family during this heartbreaking time."
