January 18, 1967 to October 24, 2026 – Scott Hodges was a prolifically kind and golden-hearted person who wanted only to do right and well in the world. He was extraordinarily sharp and had a razor-sharp wit that carried him through to every part of his life. He was a devoted and dedicated husband, father, son, big brother, uncle, nephew, and a damned good friend. Scott retired after working at UPS for 35 years and had many hobbies and interests that sometimes overlapped. He was involved in the local community and was always ready to step in to advocate for others. Scott is survived by his wife, Katy; his children, Michael and Felecia; mom, Mary; sister, Cassie; and many more that called him family and friend. Rest Well, Scottie. You done good.
