Carl Hodson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Evans-Carter Funeral Home - High Springs on Feb. 13, 2026.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Carl Hodson, who left this world on February 13, 2026, at the age of 64. Born on October 8, 1961, Carl was a cherished husband, father, brother, and friend whose impact on all who knew him was profound and lasting. Carl was steadfast in his Christian faith and found joy in sharing the love and hope of Jesus Christ with others, inspiring those around him through his unwavering devotion.

Carl was a devoted husband to Laurie Hodson, and together they built a loving and nurturing home. He took immense pride in being the father of his three children Carl, William, and Alexi and cherished every moment as Papa to his beloved grandchildren. Carl's passion for mentoring youth was evident in his commitment to coaching sports, where he inspired and guided countless young people. His legacy is reflected in the lives he touched whether as a friend, Papa, or Coach shaped by his unwavering support, encouragement, and wisdom.

In addition to his immediate family, Carl is survived by his sisters: Cindy Tasik, Toni Norris, Lanna Quintana, and Tina Selph. Together they shared countless memories and a bond that will forever remain strong.

A funeral service will be held in his honor at the Evans Carter Funeral Home on February 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM. Prior to the service, there will be a public viewing beginning at 11:00 AM, allowing friends and family to pay their respects and celebrate the life of a remarkable man.

Following the service, there will be a celebration of his life held at the Open Door Church in Fort White with food and fellowship.

Carl's remains will be cremated, a wish he expressed to his beloved family, symbolizing the cycle of life and the enduring spirit he carried in his heart.

As we gather to honor Carl's memory, let us remember his kindness, wisdom, and laughter. His presence will be missed, but the light he brought into each of our lives will continue to shine brightly in our hearts. He fought the good fight, kept the faith, and now rests in eternal glory.

Carl was a lifelong friend, fellow Mason, and coworker in law enforcement. He was truly an honest and caring man who loved the Lord and all he came in contact with.

Knowing him, I can also say that there was no doubt that he loved his wife Laurie and his family. Carl will be greatly missed by those that knew him. Ride high brother.
