Daniel Alexander Hodgson
August 15, 2012
Suddenly at Victoria Hospital on Wednesday, August 15th, 2012, Daniel Alexander Hodgson of London, in his 38th year. Beloved son of Duncan and Karen Hodgson of Appin. Very special brother of Robert Hodgson of Leamington and Janine (Nina) Hodgson-Baines of Petrolia. Dan is also survived by his brother-in-law Jerry Baines, nephew Elijah and niece Ainsley. Dear nephew of John and Stella Hodgson, Dan and Kathy Hodgson, Judie and John Bruner and cousin of Darlene and Greg Bennell, Allan and Marilyn Hodgson and Scott and April Hodgson. He will be missed by his housemates Sam, Gary and Kevin and many, many other friends and support workers from his family at Community Living London where he has been supported for the past 35 years. Holding Dan on his way from this world, was his mother, Karen and life-long family friend and support, Dr. Sandy Gerrard. Dan has enriched our lives so much over the past 37 years, how to love unconditionally, to conquer adversities and to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. He has made us the people we are today. Visitation will be held on Friday from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, where the funeral service will be conducted on Saturday, August 18th, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. In honour of Dan’s life, memorial donations may be made to Community Living London or Beattie Haven Retirement Community (Wardsville).

We are sad to have missed Dan's life celebration and to be with the Gould and Hodgson family during this sad time of sharing the memories of a special guy. I'm sorry that I never got to know Dan very well but know that he must have touched everyone he knew and "made them the people they are today".

Karen and Dunc I'm so sorry to hear about Dan's passing. I'm away at a cottage right now and just learned of his passing this morning, so I will be unable to go to the celebration of his life. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you a big hug. Sandy

Dear Mr & Mrs. Hodgson, When you lose a child there is nothing a person can say to ease your pain BUT you can take COMFORT in ALMIGHTY GODS WORDS found at John 5:28 " do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus) and come out. That means Daniel will be brought back to life but he will, like all others who have died, a perfect mind and perfect body when he comes back.That's a guarantee from our heavenly Father Jehovah.May you be comforted by his promise of the resurection.
