HODGE, Keith Loyal


The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Thursday, March 17, 2005 Keith Loyal Hodge, at the young age of 38, left our world on Saturday, March 12, 2005. He was born in White Sands Missile Range, Las Cruces, N.M., the son of Barbara Hodge and David Hodge. Keith was a guy full of life and loved everyone he met. He worked as a commercial airline pilot, but his true love was in music, the Grand Canyon, Prescott, but most of all his family and friends. Those who knew him knew that he was a friend the moment they met him. The family hopes that when loved ones think of him, they think of all the compassion, love, and laughter that he brought into this world. He will definitely be missed. Keith is survived by his loving wife, Beth Ann; his mother, Ms. Barbara Ann Hodge of Laguna Woods, Calif.; father and wife, Mr. and Mrs. David Loyal Hodge of Longwood, Fla.; brother and wife, Chief Master Sergeant Mark David Hodge and Elizabeth DeVenny of Arlington, Va.
