A Celebration of Life will be held for a 16-year-old Vestavia Hills actor who died after he fell from a moving vehicle.

The service for “Baby Driver” actor Hudson Meek is set for 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church in Homewood. Visitation with family will begin at 9:30 a.m.

The accident happened at 10:47 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19, in the 1900 block of Canyon Road, which runs from U.S. 31 to Columbiana Road.

Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said Hudson sustained blunt force injuries after falling to the road from a moving vehicle.

He was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:59 p.m. Saturday.

Hudson’s death is under investigation by Vestavia Hills police, who have not yet released a statement on the incident.

“Hudson was an organ donor, and his family is comforted by knowing that he will continue to help others for years to come,” according to his obituary.

A scholarship in the teen’s name – the Hudson J. Meek Memorial Scholarship – was also announced in his obituary. The scholarship will be given annually.

Hudson, the son of Lani and Derek Meek, was a sophomore at Vestavia Hills High School where he played football.

He was also involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Honor Choir, and SGA.

Outside of school, according to the obituary, Hudson loved gathering with his close friends, water sports, anything in the woods, traveling, and acting for television and film.

He loved playing and watching all sports, but especially football, basketball, boxing, and anything involving the Auburn Tigers.

“Hudson was reflective and thoughtful, however he was tenacious when he set his mind to something,” his obituary read. “He became a certified open water scuba diver at 13 years old and followed that up with an advanced open water certification later that year.”

“Hudson’s personality was one of a kind,” according to the obituary. “He was confident, convicted in his beliefs, spontaneous, and quick-witted. He never let the facts get in the way of a funny story, and he loved friendly banter.”

“He was a prankster, loved a good joke, and was happiest when he was making others laugh. Hudson thrived in settings that allowed him to meet and serve new people. Hudson was a vibrant and dynamic person who lived life to the fullest.”

Hudson was also an accomplished actor. He and his older brother, Tucker Meek, began acting at a young age.

He worked on several major motion pictures and television shows, some of which will be released in 2025.

Meek made his on-screen debut in 2014’s “The Santa Con,” and had roles in various TV series, including “MacGyver.” He was perhaps best known for his role in the 2017 film “Baby Driver,” in which he played a younger version of Ansel Elgort’s title character.

More than anything, family said, Hudson was passionate about his Christian faith.

“He loved Bible Study meetings, youth retreats, mission trips, and just being at church,” according to the obituary. “An active member of Dawson Memorial Baptist Church, Hudson also attended youth events with friends at Shades Mountain Baptist, Vestavia Hills United Methodist, Mountain Brook Community Church, and any other church he could find with a youth event that focused on Jesus Christ. He especially loved gathering with his football teammates for Bible Study at the home of Coach Buddy Anderson.”
