My memories of Steve have always been EXTREMELY fond. I havent seen him in over a decade and still have many times shared things about him with people who would never even POSSIBLY meet him. He was very pleasant, patient, easy going, and a GREAT sense of humor. I think of him everytime i hear Three Dog Night on the radio or in a movie and then i have to tell everyone around how my friend's dad would pick us up after school, take us to buy Reese's Peanut Butter cups and Dr. Pepper, then with him to do a quick job then home to thier house and JUST as we'd pull up to the driveway one of his fav's would hit the airwaves and we'd have to circle the block till it was over while he sang so contently to his tunes!! :D Heaven is lucky to have him.

His laughter & lightheartedness, fun-loving spirit, wonderful sense of humor, terrific smile, endless generosity, his kindness, fun dinners at Mimi's & Coco's, his love of family & friends... these are a few of my favorite memories of Steve… a dear, sweet man who will be missed by so many. We are all so very lucky to have had him in our lives... he touched each and every one of us in different ways, big and small, and our lives are so much richer just to have known him. Through the love and memories we all share of this special man, Steve Hodge will remain in our hearts… always.
My deepest sympathies to my dear friend, Evie and her family.

Dune buggies, Three Dog Night, shorts and barefooted no matter what the weather, farmer's hours...up at 3 am, down by 7 pm...,waking the kids up early in the morning to your music, being the dad to my children when they were little when they so desperately needed a dad in their life, a wonderful sense of humor... these are my sweet memories of my wonderful brother-in-law when we were all so much younger. Such good times. I will miss you, Steve, but we will have eternity to be together in heaven and that I am so looking forward to. God bless you, dear Steve.

I will miss the stories. I will miss moments such as when we cruised to the Bahamas and you got the aces. I will miss our family grubbing on like 40 lobster tails at the buffet. I will miss us playing Beatles Rock Band together. I will miss Adorn. I will miss your potato salad. I will miss you. You are loved and will be remembered.

Had many a good time playing video poker with Steve at the old Spotlight 29 casino when the royals were 1199 dollars. Steve showed me that ya got to put 100 dollars in the machine if ya wanna get the royal. I will miss him coming into our shop and talikng about old times. Im sure he will always find an open machine upstairs. Rest in peace my friend and my best to your family. Mike Rogers and the Greenbaum co. Cathedral City Ca.

Steve, I'll never look at a Makita power drill again without think of you. Nor will I be able to listen to Three Dog Night, The Beatles, Billy Joel without thinking of you. I still hear you singing with them.
Memories are forever.
My life is so much better because you and the family are a part of it. I can't say were, because you're still in my heart. As the family will always be.
The times Evie asked me to stay with you when she was out of town were fun. You'd ask me if I was there to baby-sit. I'd tell you, naw, just hanging around with you. Or, when Evie was helping her father in Lake Havasu, and Mark called Eleni and I in the middle of the night telling us that you were in the hospital. I never got dressed so fast. Didn't know anyone could make it back from Lake Havasu so fast, either.
My heart broke that I couldn't be there with you, Evie, Jill, Mark and Joel. I wanted to so badly, but couldn't leave my parents. Please forgive me.
God bless you. I love you. All of you.
I'll see you up there.

Will always remember Steves laugh and smiles when he came to our house. It is always hard for the ones left here who loved him, but what an amazing place he is in now. We love you Evie and family!

He will be missed by his brother and sister in law Lee and Carol of North Las Vegas, Nevada. Both a so happy that Steve accepted his Lord and Savior and is in His presence this moment. May his family rejoice in the life they shared with him .

This is for you Steve! This is such a great memory of you. Do you remember the time when you tooked your daughter and her 2 friends to Laughlin for summer vacation? How we were all on our walkman (back in the days) listening to our music and how I got sick in the car. I was so embarrassed. You made me feel there's nothing to be embarrassed about and everything will be ok. Also while we were in Laughlin, you tooked us girls to the movie to see Forest Gump. You made sure that your daughter and her friends had a great time that weekend which we all did. I will always remember the time you would pick me for school and you would asked me if I knew who Three Dogs Nights were and I was clueless. And you would tell me who they were and what they sing.It was on the radio as you were taking me to school. That was so thoughtful of you Steve taking me to school.Through the years they have been playing a lot of Three Dogs Night and I remember this conversation when you asked me who they were. YOU ROCK STEVE!!! I will truly miss you. Your spirit will always be alive in my heart! Thank you for the great memories!!!

Thank you dad for all you have done. You helped guide me through life and your advice will be missed. I can only hope that I can do as good a job in raising Gavin as you did in raising me. You are my hero and I can only hope you are as proud in me as I have always been in you. I love you dad, a part of my heart will always be missing until we can meet up again, presumably by a video poker machine. Rest in Peace Stump the First.

Jill and family,
Although it has been years since I've seen Steve, it seems that his personality hasn't faded from my memory. I remember the time he took us to Laughlin for the weekend. He kept us laughing on the entire trip. When I picture your dad, he's wearing tube socks with stripes, swim trunks, and a t-shirt. My memories of him are fond, and it sticks out in my mind that he was a wonderful father to you Jill. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I know the loss of a parent. It will forever ache in your heart, but the love you have remains, and it will mend your heart. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
Love,
December 3, 2010
Mark and family .. we are glad we had the chance to meet your Dad as he supervised the window treatments you did in our home from our recliner chair. His humor in spite of his health issues always come though. You'll all miss him but you will move forward as he would have wished you to.

My Dearest Evie, and family.
My heart of love and my prayers for God's comfort will be with you for longer than you'll ever know. While I never had the blessing of meeting Steve, I really felt like I walked much of his journey with him through my conversations with Evie, a very dear friend. I know everyone has to get on with living, but stay connected sharing your love with one another, as your love will help you heal.
Love,

"I'm always better for seeing you".. these are words that would always make my day when I would hear you say them. I will forever treasure our conversations about the crazy life and world we live in. I am truly blessed to have been able to share a small part of this life with you and though I'm sad to know that we will never sit down to chat again, I'm comforted in knowing that you are no longer suffering. Rest in Peace, my dear friend. Not a day will go by that you are not thought about... and I know you're smiling down on us from heaven.. warning everyone upstairs about the trouble we are all going to cause when we are reunited again. =) Until then... I'll miss you terribly.

To Steve and the Hodge family,
I am glad that James made the choice to get to know you. I was fortunate to have been included. I will always remember Steve when I hear the Beatles.
This is an Indian prayer I read at my father's funeral and there are certain things that remind me of him. I hope that you will be reminded of Steve and that his spirit will carry on in your heart.
"I give you this one thought to keep- I am with you still- I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the mornng's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone- I am with you still- in each new dawn.
My love I send to you.

I miss you so very much Uncle Steve, but im glad you're not in pain anymore. I am so so so sorry that I wasnt there to see you before you went home to be with the Lord. I will remember you forever and I will always have wonderful memories of you. I love you and I miss you Uncle Steve.

My heart broke the evening my Dad took his last breath. We were listening to the Beatles, one of his favorite bands, when he passed. I know that made him happy ... and the fact he was surrounded by love.
He was the best Dad ever. I always looked up to him and am so proud to have had him as my father. He was a go-getter and a character and his sense of humor will truly be missed.
Although I am still trying to find peace with his death and am saddened that my son will never get to know his Grandpa, I am thankful he is no longer suffering and died peacefully.
I love you, Pops .... and every time I hear the Beatles, or Three Dog Night or Billy Joel ... warm memories of you will comfort me.
December 2, 2010
Grandpa Steve, Such an amazing sense of humor you have and there was NEVER a dull moment with you. You are surely missed and loved by many.
Lots of Love and Prayers for My Grandma,Uncle Mark, and Aunt Jill who were so very close to you.
Wish I knew how to tell you guys how truly sorry I am.
Love you All so Much,
Erika
