Michael Hodgkinson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ducro Funeral Services and Crematory on Oct. 3, 2025.
Michael Edward "Hodge" Hodgkinson, 63, passed away on Saturday, September 27, 2025 surrounded by his family at the Cleveland Clinic.
He was born in Corry, PA on February 25, 1962, the son of Edgar and Patricia (Sutton) Hodgkinson.
Michael spent his career as a roofer, retiring this year from Hassett Family Roofing. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and simply being outside. He also found joy in the hunt of searching through flea markets and garage sales. Above all, Michael was a devoted son; always ready to cut the grass, shovel snow, or lend a helping hand. He was never afraid of hard work.
He is survived by his caring mother, Patricia Hodgkinson; his brothers, Steven and Jeffrey Hodgkinson; and his great friends, Louie, Don, Curtis, and Jeff.
He was preceded in death by his father, Edgar Hodgkinson.
In following Michael's wishes, no public services will be held, and he will be laid to rest at Greenlawn Memory Gardens at a later date.
Funeral arrangements were trusted to Ducro Funeral Services and Crematory, 4524 Elm Ave. Ashtabula, OH. Online obituary and condolences can be made at www.ducro.com.
