The Burlington, North Carolina, community is mourning the loss of Jakari Hudson, a beloved young man remembered for his creativity, kindness, talent, and ability to make people feel welcome wherever he went.
Jakari’s life touched several communities, including theater, competitive cheerleading, music, art, and education. Those who knew him remember someone who was easy to love and whose presence brought energy and warmth to the people around him.
Remembering Jakari Hudson
Jakari performed in productions of The Wiz and Legally Blonde with Gallery Players and the Paramount Theater of Burlington. Fellow performers remembered him as a talented and enjoyable young man who brought his own personality and enthusiasm to the stage.
Cheerleading also became an important part of Jakari’s life. In 2018, he joined COEX at CEA, reportedly with little or no previous cheer experience. What began as something new soon developed into a passion. He loved being at CEA, loved cheerleading, and formed friendships throughout the organization.
Even after his time at CEA, Jakari remained connected to many of the people he met there. Friends remembered him checking in on birthdays and other important occasions, maintaining relationships that continued long after those years.
One former friend recently recalled a poignant moment during a cheer practice when an athlete broke her glasses. The incident brought back memories of Jakari and his glasses, prompting thoughts of the moments they had shared. Hours later, she learned that Jakari had died.
That memory has since taken on a much deeper meaning, becoming an emotional reminder of how unexpectedly life can change and how lasting a person’s presence can be.
Jakari was also passionate about art, music, theater, cheerleading, and teaching. Friends said he brought a distinctive energy to everything he did and made an impact on people that he may not have fully realized.

His birthday on September 28 was meant to be another opportunity to celebrate his life together. Instead, his loved ones are now grieving his passing and holding onto the memories they shared with him.
