He was born on April 4, 1948, to the late Howard and June Hodge.
Allen will be remembered for the life he lived, the memories he created, and the love he shared with those around him. One of his greatest joys was fishing, where he found peace and happiness in the quiet moments spent by the water. Whether casting a line or enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, fishing was more than a hobby to him – it was a passion that brought him comfort and joy.
Though his time here has come to an end, the memories he leaves behind will live on in the hearts of family, friends, and all who knew him. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and never forgotten.
May he rest peacefully, with calm waters, gentle breezes, and a fishing line forever cast in heaven.
Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by the love of his life Joyce Hodge; and a daughter, Tammy Lee.
Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Shelly Blakely, Pamela Smither; sons Dwayne Hodge, and Anthony Hodge. 11 Grandchildren and one great granddaughter.
