Fred passed away unexpectedly at home in Gold Beach, Oregon. He was a kind, generous, and loving person who touched many lives.
He was a gifted musician and songwriter who recorded three gospel albums and wrote "Victoria's Song" honoring his love for his wife at their wedding. He loved all sports, but experienced great joy in teaching young children his favorite game – golf! He was an avid fan of the Oregon Ducks!
Preceding Fred in death were his parents Carl Vernon and Emma Plott Hodnett and his daughter, Fermina. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Victoria; daughters: Jill, Lindsay Logan Hoey and Shelby George and her partner Michael Stokes; sisters Tempest (Alfred – deceased) Hammock, Linda

His special love was given to his grandchildren: Logan (Stretch), Sebastian (Sebby), Olivia (Oloveia), Lillian (Ubbabub) and Emma (YumYum)! Also cherishing his memory are numerous friends and acquaintances. He never met a stranger!
He was a golf instructor and professional caddie who began at Bassett Country Club in Bassett, Virginia, and ended at Cedar Bend Golf Club in Ophir, Oregon, by way of LaCosta, Spyglass, Edgewood Tahoe, Bandon Dunes and many famous courses all over America and the world. He was instrumental in the construction of World Tour International of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina – the "Gold Capital of the World."
