Randy was born to Mary and Charles Hodges on October 15, 1953, in Charleston, WV. He graduated from DuPont High School in 1971 where he was active in various sports. After high school he was employed by DuPont Chemical Plant in Belle for 36 years as a pipefitter/mechanic.
Randy and his wife, Anna, met in 1974 and were married August 12, 1977. They were blessed with two amazing sons, whom he taught to be kind to all animals, and to cherish all the friendships you develop thru the years.
Randy had many dogs throughout his life and loved them all. Family was very important to Randy and loving his brothers, sharing a special bond throughout their life. With every bout of cancer and other illnesses, Randy’s faith in his Lord grew stronger and stronger.
Preceding him in death were his mother and father; brothers, Duck, Larry, Charles Jr. and Russell; and his beloved nephew, Andy.
Randy is survived by his loving wife, Anna; sons, Charles “Rusty” (Karen) of South Charleston and Corey (Mikaela) of Poland, Maine; beloved grandsons, Jadon, Josh and Jacob. Randy’s happiest times were spent watching them playing soccer or just spending time with them, hanging out and throwing frisbee’s and balls with his beloved dog, Jesse.
