HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEE. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO...ANGELA

Dee, Wendy has some beautiful flowers and a tree that she showed me that she planted in honor of her.  I know you guys would have been sitting out there in your rocking chairs someday.  We miss you and love you.  No one has forgotten you.  We think of you all of the time!  Love you!

Thinking about you Dee on this rainy day. I miss you so. I still love you and know that you live through those who  
remember you. I remember every bit of you.

Dee, it has been a tough year this year.  Not only are you gone, but I just lost my mother.  I remember when you passed, my mom just held me while I cried.  She thought it was so funny the way you called me Sharon McGlaron, and of course, my personal favorite, Dork!  I had gone through such a hard time with my divorce but you were there, my dear friend, to help me move on.  I miss you so much Dee. You just had another birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate it.  Wendy and I miss you and think of you often.  I would have liked to have seen the day you talked to me about right before you passed.  Your life would have been full circle.  I love you Dee.  Rest and take care of  my mom

   Today would have been Dee's and my sixth anniversary of meeting each other. The first time I saw him I thought he was a college professor. I know how funny that is now. He had that long hair in a ponytail, clean shaven, a club shirt, those cargo shorts he always wore and sandals. If you can picture it. I had overheard him talking about being in a band before, so when the opportunity came I pointed to him and said "Hey rock star"! he pivoted around and gave me his contageous smile. From that moment I was hooked. He came over and plopped right down next to me not giving mind to anyone else around. We talked, laughed, listened to music and quoted movies like "weird science" and "vacation" and laughed some more. It was four-thirty in the morning and I had to be to work at six-thirty. I did not want it to end. He asked for my number and a hug before I left. 

   I'll never forget it. None of it or him. It was one of the happiest days of my life. The tears have slowed a little but not one day goes by that I'm not affected by his memory. I know that a lot of you have memories of good times with Dee, but today is our special day. I love you Dee and wish like crazy you were here.

Dee, I met you at Shooters in Norman when I was 25 and from that moment on, you had my heart.  You were a great friend to me and you were always ready with that famous smile of yours. The last time I saw you was a couple of days before you passed way. I was going through the roughest time in my life, my divorce and the loss of my step son but you with your usual confidence told me it would be okay. You took me to my first Casino to gamble and we hung out and talked just like we used to.  We talked about Wendy, God, music, kids, friends, old times and the future.  
Dee, I will never forget you or the impact you have made on my life.  So many people miss you and love you.  I am lucky to be counted among them. 
Until we see each other again!  Love you.
Sharon

I am looking forward to seeing my cousin once again. I miss you Dee, I think about you all the time my friend. I'm living in your house, sometimes it feels like you're still here. I always try to blame YOU whenever I spill my beer! You are more than just a cousin, you are truly my friend. You could always make me smile; you still do now and then. I think about the night you introduced me to our cousins.You wouldn't usually drink, but that night you were buzzing. We were laughing and singing, while Kelly strummed the guitar. Then on the way back home, you fell asleep in my car. We always had a good time,even when we did nothing. I did my best to get you out, the carnival or something. One night I met an Indian girl, she was walking down your street. I wanted to ask her out, but then I got cold feet.I said she was cute, you said ask her for a date. I did and she accepted, your advice was great! So thanks for all the memories, someday we'll make more.Until then I love you DEE, see you in heaven for sure.

Dee will be missed by many people..Our hearts go out to David, Diann and all of the family. I am so very glad I was able to find him to give him a hug the last time I was with Dee & Diann, after spending a fun afternoon together. Cheryl & Bert Moore

After reading all the nice stories about Dee and realizing that he was a great friend to us all and how well everyone knew him, I feel theres not much left to say about my "Rock Star". and in my awe struck eyes, he was.  We had some of the best times together. We had numerous food fights, we had the same taste in movies, music and days full of laughter. He aggravated me daily. I thought I was just as witty as him, but he always got to me. You couldnt go anywhere with Dee and him not bump into someone he knew. And that always led to a thirty minute conversation. If we could all be Dee L. Hodges', this would be what Dee would call a "groovy" world. He took a piece of us with him, but he will go on living through us as we all tell stories about the great times we had with Dee. I told Dee I loved him first, he spoke those words to me last. 
Dave and Diann, I want to thank you for giving us a chance to know your son. I want you to know how loved he was, is, and will forever be.

I love you Dee, Devin and I will miss you so much but are so thankful for all the years we spent together and all the memories we made. I promise I will get that house in the country with the big porch and your rocking chair will be right next to mine. I love you my sweetest Dee. rest in peace sweetheart.

Well cousin, quite a few of us got together for your 40th birthday yesterday. We all miss you so much. Happy Birthday Dee.

I think of you often. I will missed answering the late night phone calls to hear "Mom".  I have such good memories of you and Mike and your many adventures. Who would have thought riding those bikes to Shawnee & back, or hanging all those posters on the walls and ceilings.  Even  when I had a bad day & you would call you made me smile in the phone.  Your gift was needed elsewhere & everyone around you will be smiling. 
My heart goes out to David & Diann.
Happy Birthday today from your other "Mom"

We were so sorry to hear about Dee. We know there is nothing we can say or do to help, but please know that we are thinking about you all.
We'll call soon.
Love

I never wondered why Dee thought I was cool enough to be his friend. I was just glad that he did. We may not have known each other as long as Mike or Daman or Ric had known him. But that didn't seem to matter. He was arguably the coolest guy I knew. In a lot of ways, I wanted to be him. After all, he was a damn fine-looking man. (check the liner notes on Not In My Yard. It says so.) He was even partly responsible for me getting into my first relationship. That was an important milestone for me and he was there at the onset. And that smile.....he could light up a room, and he knew it. We had several adventures in our teenage years, then we kinda drifted for a few, then we came back into each others lives for a few more years. We hadn't seen much of each other over the past couple, because our everyday lives took precedence. I still never forgot that I was "Kisor the Womanizer". I always knew when I heard that who it was speaking to me. Including the last time I saw him. Or should I say he saw me. 24 years went by in the blink of an eye. I like to think that I'm a better, more confident person having known him for those 24 years. Thank you for being my friend, Dee Hodges. I love you and I'm gonna miss you, Bud.

To Diann, David and Bill: Thank you for sharing Dee with us. I know I'm grateful, and I'm sure that everyone else is, too.

DEE, I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR PARENTS BOUGHT YOU YOUR FIRST DRUM SET. YOU SET IT UP IN THE POOL ROOM AND WOULD PLAY FOR HOURS. WE WERE WITH YOU BOYS GROWING UP. EVEN THO WE LOST TOUCH THRU THE YRS, I AM PROUD TO HAVE BEEN PART OF YOUR "FAMILY". SO MANY MEMORIES OF YOU AND BILL. YOU GUYS WERE A BIG PART OF OUR LIFES AND WE WILL MISS YOU. LOVE TO DAVID,DIANN AND BILL..JO ANN (BLASSINGAME)CANTWELL

Twenty years ago, deep in the night you came into sight and my heart took flight
Think you would always be, this is so very hard to believe But I know one day we will all be together again, forever to stay. 
Love you always, Dee

I'll always remember that face when Coach Williams teased him about me havin a crush on him....lol  I have and will think of you often Dee....and will see you again one day!  Keep watch over us and keep us from harm....

Well, we shared many double dates, Rock concerts and weekends being just boys together.  We lived at each other's houses all through school and laughed, got mad and even shared some tears together. There were things that we still needed to do togther to share some of life's greatest treasures......our kids but, that was not in God's plan i guess.  Mine have heard all the stories about the "best looking guy in Oklahoma" and all the things that we did and as you have a gift of doing it even makes kids laugh.  I know the years we were attached at the hip was some of the best years of my young life and will forever  remain precious to me and the entire Jaggers family. You were always smiling, laughing and looking for cool or misguided nicknames for everyone which always left your mark on everyone that you ran into or knew.  You left so many peeople with laughs and smiles and you will always be remembered and missed very uniquely. i told you alot that you were my best friend and i loved you like a brother but, i never told you that you were the best of us and that i was proud to know you.  I will miss you Brother like you cannot imagine!  "Later Bro!"

David, Diane, Bill and family i am so sorry that he was taken from you and i love you and my heart is broken with yours!!

I was so shocked to hear about Dee, have known him forever he will be missed.

Very sorry to hear of your passing, will remember the good times of you walking this earth and doing what you enjoyed the most. Thank you for the joy that you shared with many of us while hearing you play...Rest well Dee.

We are going to miss you Dee. We love you buddy!!!

Growing up Dee was like a brother to me. Dee was one of a handful of individuals I consider a "true brother" in this walk we make through life. If called upon would be there anytime anywhere at a moments notice. There are way too many stories to tell thru the years to be able to post on this site. I was very glad I was able to go to the lake on Labor Day this year with both of our families.  Dee will be missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. My thoughts and prayers go out to David,Dianne,Billy and the rest of the family.

My deepest condolences to Dee's family & friends.We played music together in the mid nineties & travelled many,many miles together. We were true kindred spirits & had the best of times Rocking & Rolling all around the country.....His musical gifts,kindness,friendship,and big heart will be sorely missed...Rest in peace brother.

Sorry to hear about Dee, Your in my Prayers Bill!

So sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.

John and Pam Leone

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Dee-it has been an honor to be part of your life again the last year and a half. You are such a gentle soul, with a heart of gold, always putting others needs before your own. I hope you know how much you are loved. I heard so many wonderful stories about you today, as your friends and family came to say good-bye. You have definitely brought people together again. God bless you Lil Dee. Our hearts are humbled. Love always.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I met Dee about 11 years ago and we hit it off from the start. My band opened up for his band and we traveled alot together. Dee always was there for me. To listen. To hug. To talk to. I never once meet him where he wasn't smiling and walking up to give me a hug. I loved him as a friend and as a fellow musician. He will be missed by many,and missed alot by me. Goodbye big brother..Johnny Suede

In 1979 a young man stepped out to join Tom's little league ballteam. His glove was  as big as him and his hat barely coming down over his hair. His smile just lifted you up. This young man known as Dee L was  very talented & very coachable which makes a coach real happy. The next year his little brother Billy came out to play, even though they were best buds they were very competetive. Tom can sit and tell story after story about these two. They have given us such memories, Tom loved them as he did his own. Over the years Dee never forgot Tom & I, if we ran into him, it was always a big smile & hug. People come into your lives sometimes to leave cherished moments that will never be forgotten, Dee was one of those people. Dee you have a place in our hearts that will forever stay. We love you and tell you to try out for the team, because you will make it. David, Diane, Bill & family may God keep his loving arms around you now and always. All our love and thanks for all the loving memories we have shared with your family. Tom & Brenda.

Dee, it is just not real to us and we are still in shock over this. You will be missed by so many. I still remember your mom taking Rodney and you to a Kiss concert you both were so excited. Your smile I will for sure never forget you always had a smile on your face which brightened the room. Rodney and I will miss you so much but we will always keep your memories  close to our hearts because there were alot of them when we were growing up. Billy and family we are so sorry for your lose and we are here for you all. RIP Dee we love you and will miss you very much.

To the family goes my sorrow and love. The world was made a better place by having Dee in it. I will forever cherish my memories of him.

I have so many memories of Dee and Billy from my childhood that it makes it seems so impossible that this has happened.  David, Diann, Billy and all the rest of your family, my hear goes out to you.  All of you are in my prayers.
Love Always,
Vanessa (Anderson) King

Dee, i have so many memories of you. I have a pix of us together and right before it was snapped the hairstylist in me says" Dee omg i love your hair" Without a beat you said" All the chicks do" i was so jealous of it. People pay me for that lol. You were always so nice. I remember in english class you loved guns and roses and you talked about them all the time. I also remember going down I40 and seeing this dude with long hair blowing everywhere with sunglasses on. The hair caught my attention u took of the shades and i cracked up. I couldnt believe it was you. You always make everyone laugh. You will be missed. I hope you know how much you are loved. Love u friend, Lori Binau Edwards...

It just wasn't real until we visited the funeral home. David, Diann, Bill & the rest of the family are in our prayers. We love you Mr. Dee Hodges. You are/will be missed until we meet again. So many wonderful memories! Rest in peace brother!

I met Dee 20 years ago,  he always had a beautiful smile on his face everytime I saw him over the years.  and he always had a hug ready.  he will be missed.

Alycia Rivard-Massey

You are going to be missed by so many, I'm not sure if you really knew how many people's lives you touched and how much you were truly loved. I can honestly say that you are one lucky guy, every time someone says something about you they say nothing but kind words. You were always so kind and had a smile that would light up any room. Your musical talents were amazing and your hair........Dee us girls, what we wouldn't do to have those curls! Our high school years together were a lot of fun and we all laughed a lot. I want you to know that I am truly blessed to have you as a friend and until that one day we meet again, I want you to know that there is an empty place here on earth now, but what a remarkable place you are at now. You are going to be missed more than you know. Much love, Kayla

R.I.P. Dee i love you and i`m gonna miss you

David and family, we are so sorry to learn of your loss.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  The Parris families
