Dr. Andrew J. Judd of Oviedo, Florida passed away unexpectedly at the age of 75 on Thursday, April 14, 2022, while visiting family in Sebastian, Florida.

Andy was born in Ohio to Donald S. and Margaret Judd. After an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Washington, Seattle, and received his PhD in accounting from the University of Florida.

Andy was a professor for 26 years at the University of Central Florida and director of the Kenneth G. Dixon School of Accounting for 11 of those years. As an educator and mentor, he was loved and admired by his students and his fellow UCF faculty.

Passionate about fishing, hunting, cooking, traveling and gardening, one of Andy's favorite adventures was an in-depth study of Turkish cooking and culture while traveling with his wife, Ann, across Turkey.

Andy was a witty and informative conversationalist who was energized by the exchange of fun thoughts, creative ideas, great books and new endeavors. Andy is preceded in death by his son, Thomas, parents Donald and Margaret Judd and brother Donald Judd, Jr. He is survived by his wife, Ann Crusius of Oviedo, daughter Megan Mecabe, sisters Carol Di Guilio and Sue Holbert (Thomas), and 4 grandchildren: Casey, Ashlyn, Noah and Evan Mecabe.

A Celebration of his Life by family and friends will be held on Thursday, May 5, 2022, in Oviedo.
