On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, just after his 49th birthday, Weldon G. Hudspeth, affectionately known as "Old School", "OG" or Monte-Con, peacefully transitioned from this world.  A native of Virginia Beach, Weldon was born on October 19, 1969 to Marvin Wilkins and Shirley Mae Cannady Hudspeth.  Weldon was educated in the Virginia Beach school system.  After attending First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach, he attended American School of Technology in Columbus, Ohio.  Weldon was a real sports enthusiast, especially when it came to his favorite football team, the Washington Redskins.  His passion for animals included his many family dogs, his snake and his alligator, but Fido, his dog, was his favorite.  Weldon loved cars, fixing things, traveling and spending time with family.  His passion as a handy man lead him to start his own business, Weldon's Home Improvement.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Aishia Hudspeth.  Left to cherish his memory are his mother, Shirley Hudspeth of Virginia Beach and father, Marvin "Sam" Wilkins of Wilson, NC; his children, Dontrell Mitchell of Virginia Beach, Weldon Hudspeth of Virginia Beach, Bianca Sturgis of Norfolk, Shavona Woods of Chesapeake, Shabazz Hudspeth of Wilson, NC, Zyyaye Williams of Wilson, NC, Tamara Hudspeth of Wilson, NC, and Kyill Hudspeth of Stone Mountain, GA; eight grandchildren, one brother Ray (Angela) Cannady of Columbus, OH; one sister, Charlotte Smith of Virginia Beach; a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Though we will miss our loved one dearly, one thing that will remain is the legacy he's left behind.  He was a loving, funny, wise man who loved God.
