Tom was born April 23, 1959, in Breckenridge, Texas, to Leroy and Bea (Franklin) Hodges. Tom spent his childhood on a farm in Osage, Arkansas, hunting, trapping, and fishing. Tom was along-haul truck driver, but enjoyed his work as a heavy equipment operator most. He was a talented carpenter and remodeler, spending his free time crafting furniture and transforming rooms in his home or for friends. Tom was a character, known for his humor and quick wit.

Tom is survived by his daughters, Chelcie Earnhart and Brandi Blythe; niece, D.D. Hodges; uncle, Jack, and aunt, Mary Franklin; and several nieces and nephews.

Tom's wishes were to forego a funeral service. His family encourages a celebration of his life by listening to some of his favorite music (Never Been to Spain, Kokomo, Loving Her was Easier, Drift Away, Shallow) and having a laugh telling your favorite Tom story.
