Jonathan T. "Jon" Hodgin

I miss Jon already, just as I miss Jim, and the friendship I shared with both. Jon was a wonderful mentor and role model. He was like a second father to me, and Jim was my brother. Jon took us many, many places hunting and fishing, and he did so with such unselfish generousity. Trout fishing on the Manistee, Grouse hunting near Stanton, Deer hunting at Schulte's, Lake trout fishing at T.C., and of course, Salmon fishing at Ludington. Just recently, my wife and I visited Portage Lake in...

Thank you all for your wonderful memories and comforting prayers.
He was such a strong but gentle person thst he will be missed by many people, colleagues, friends and especially family.
I do take comfort in the idea that he is in a peaceful place now, but this was all so sudden and he left us way too soon. I miss him deeply.

Sincerly,

To Heidi and Family, I'm very saddened to hear about your father. My prayers go out to you and your family. He was great man and a wonderful father. I will always remember his warm smile.

The loss of Jon was a great loss to a lot more people than most will ever realize. Having had lunch with Jon just a few weeks ago made me realize what an important impact he had on me and more than I had ever realized. We had some incredible times together. My thoughts and prayer's go out to all of his family and friends.

Jon and I have been friends for many years, his charisma and energy always made it a joy to be around him. After fishing with Jon several times it became obvious that we would always catch fish and always have a good time. His style of fishing was a reflection of how he lived his life, serious and straight forward but never losing sight of the joy and humanity in life. I will always remember fishing with Jon in Ludington as the best of times. The evenings with Jon, Amparo and the kids...

The last time I saw my Uncle Jon was 30 years ago. But some of the fondest memories I have of my childhood included my uncle and cousin Jim. He was always kind to me and I looked up to him.

Dear Family:

Michele and I are sorry for the loss of a wonderful father. Please know that all of you are in our prayers.

May God bless you with His comfort and peace.

He was a man to admire. His strength, his dedication, and his passion made him unique. I learned a lot from him and I am forever grateful for all the support he gave to my family and me. His family and friends will always remember him for the greatness of his being and for the immense love he offer us all. Adriana G
