John Hodges

John “Bill” Hodges, passed away April 21, 2020 in Wasilla, Alaska.

Bill was born April 16, 1968 in Los Angeles California. Bill was a Journeyman electrician by trade for the past 20 years, traveling around the United States working on several job sites, and made some wonderful friends along the way. Bill frequently spoke about his coworkers and the great times they had together. Bill had a passion for restoring old vehicles and showing them off at car shows and on the mountain trails. He loved being outside and hitting the trails with his friends and family and was always willing to help them at the drop of a hat, whether they needed him at home or on the trail.

Bill took great pride in the landscaping of his yard and decorating the property for all the holidays with his fiancé Crystal Beane and her daughter Kaylea. Bill enjoyed, and was immensely proud, of his future stepdaughter and all her accomplishments in her hockey playing and everyday life.

Bill also leaves behind Molly Mae Wilmeth (Mema), whom Bill lovingly called mom, with cherished memories of him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 16th at the Little Su River. Go down Church road to Schrock and take a left. You will see a bridge and we will be on the sandbar from 1pm to 3pm. This is a place that Bill loved to go. Please join his family in the celebration and take your off-roading vehicle for a ride in his honor.
