He spent time as a truck driver, he was a skilled carpenter, he served for several years as the mayor of Roff, and he worked as a rural carrier for the United States Postal Service until his retirement in 2015.

He is preceded in death by his father, Gordon Ellsworth Hedges, his mother, Nora Magnolia Rutherford Hedges, and his good dog, Ivy.
