Judson Fredrick Alridge, “Kang Fish”, was born September 18, 1944 in Buena Vista, Marion County, Georgia to the late Michael Sr. and Vernice Alridge.  He was educated in the public school system of Buena Vista, Marion County, Georgia.  He graduated from Buena Vista High School in 1962.

At an early age, Judson accepted Jesus Christ and joined the Christian bandwagon at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Ellaville, Schley County, Georgia.  He was a very active and dedicated member at his church.

After high school, Judson’s passion led him to driving eighteen-wheelers.  During his many endeavors, he decided to start Alridge Trucking Company. After many years of driving eighteen-wheelers, he decided to retire.  In his retirement, Judson found another passion, in which he showed an interest in farming.  This passion lead to him starting Alridge Farms.

In April 1973, he married the love of his life, the late Gloria Porter Alridge.  To this union, they were blessed with three beautiful children.  He is preceded in death by his wife, Gloria Porter Alridge; his parents, Michael Sr. and Vernice Alridge; his sister, Susanna Alridge Gardner and a brother, Joe “Lil Man” Alridge.

On Saturday afternoon, February 20, 2021 at 6:36 pm at St. Francis-Emory Healthcare Hospital, Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, Judson Fredrick Alridge departed this earthly life for an eternal life with our Heavenly Father.

Judson leaves a legacy of golden, precious memories to his beloved family, his children: Judson Fredrick Alridge, Jr. of Buena Vista, Georgia; Vinson Alridge of Ellaville, Georgia; Fredrick Lamar (Jameia) Alridge of Richland, Georgia; Veronica Alridge (Timothy) Sales and Marcus Peiro (Rachel) Alridge both of Columbus, Georgia; his two siblings- Michael Alridge, Jr of Ellaville, Georgia and Linda Alridge Dawson of Warner Robins, Georgia; fifteen grandchildren; a devoted grandson-Dionne (Jessica) Alridge, Leshae Alridge, Breshae Alridge, Alasia Alridge, Alaju Willis, Demarion Sales, Jaila Sales, Jordyn Alridge, Serkimmer Alridge, Fredkeem Alridge, Valencia Alridge, Kelis Wilbron, Kason Yancie, Octavius Staton and Mariyah Alridge; and eight great-grandchildren; his aunts and uncles; Mary Fudge of Hartford, Connecticut; Michael Minter of Atlanta, Georgia; Jimmy (Ella) Porter,  Louise Tennyson, and Irene Porter Minter (Milton), all  of Buena Vista, Georgia; Nancy Porter of Jacksonville, Florida; his in-laws; Gail Alridge of Buena Vista, Georgia; Lester “June Bug” Ramsey, Jr, Carolyn (Elliott) Ashley, Esabelle Ramsey, Leroy (Kathy) Ramsey, and Janice Ramsey, all of Jacksonville, Florida; one special and devoted nephew-Joseph Gardner, Jr. of Cusseta, Georgia and a host of beloved nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Condolences sent to the family of Judson! Judson was a very kindhearted person who lived a great life of love for his family and friends! As stated if I can help someone, then my living want be in vain, Judson was the epitome of that, always giving a helping hand and offering without having to pay him for what he did! God will see you through your hurt and pain, just stay close to him! Judson will see all his love ones because he was a person who loved and loved the Lord!
