Jasen Hodge (Lansing)

Our beloved father, son, brother, cousin, and friend, Jasen Lamar Hodge, transitioned from his earthly home to his heavenly home to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 8th, 2023, at his residence in East Lansing, Michigan, at the age of 39 years old. The life of Jasen began when he was born Saturday, December 3rd, 1983, in Lansing, Michigan, the son of his loving parents, Ronnie and Paula Hodge, their first born.

Jasen was a resident of East Lansing, Michigan. Jasen graduated from Waverly High School in 2002 and worked 13 years at General Motors Corporation. He loved giving back to his community, especially the youth by putting together shoes for Touching Every Sole Charity (TES) and coat drives for those in need. Jasen loved spending time with his beloved son, James. He coached Kappa Football League during his son’s football years of playing. Jasen had a heart of gold, met no strangers; you could always expect to laugh. Jasen was the comedian of the family; he was always ready for a little trash talk about his beloved Michigan Wolverines. Jasen loved taking James to the University of Michigan Big House, for a Michigan football game. Boy, did he bleed that Maize and Blue. Let’s not forget traveling, you call Jasen and he’s on the go somewhere. Jasen enjoyed playing pool. He was always on the table, anytime company came over he would ask “Are you down to play some pool?”.

Jasen’s memory will be cherished by his beloved son, James Hodge of East Lansing Michigan; loving and supportive parents, Ronnie and Paula Hodge of Lansing Michigan; loving sister, Alexis Hodge; special aunt, Patricia Hampton, many other aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives and friends including his boys, Jameel “Coop”, Abram, Princeton, and Mike.

Jasen was preceded in death by grandparents, Hillard and Amie Ross, Geneva and Hilliard Ross Sr., Geneva Hodge, James and Florence Neal; aunt, Dorothy Patterson and uncle, Edward James Johnson.
