George Stodghill Obituary
Brandon
George Calvin Stodghill, 53, died August 19th, 2012, at Crossgates River Oaks Hospital after a lengthy illness.
Calvin graduated from Rankin Academy in 1976. He was Vice President of Big 10 Tire Company, a business founded by his father and uncle, until 1987. In 1988, he bought Martin's Restaurant and Bar on State Street. He was a strong supporter of the revitalization of downtown Jackson. He was a Mason and a member of The Vineyard Church.
Calvin is survived by his son Joseph Stodghill (Brandy); his daughter, Hope White (Tally); his mother, Helen Braswell; his brother, Clay Stodghill; and his sisters, Nancy Sulser, Cindy Polk, Beverly Lohman and Kelly Prude. He was the proud grandfather of Kaleigh, Olivia, Ava, Cooper and Jake.
A private family memorial service will be held at a later date. A celebration of Calvin's life will be held at Martin's on Saturday, August 25th at 5:00 p.m. for family and friends to gather in remembrance of him.
His family requests no flowers be sent. Calvin was a proud American and a strong supporter of our armed forces. He requested memorials be made to the Wounded Warriors Project, P.O. Box 758717, Topeka, KS 66675.
