Donation protected
Robert Brent Hodges of Austin, Texas, passed away Tuesday, April 6, 2021 after a short illness. Born in Houston, TX to Forest and Peggy Hodges, Brent spent his childhood years playing baseball, fishing, and loving life. He attended Robert E. Lee High School in Houston where he excelled in baseball, graduated, and continued his education at the University of Arkansas. Brent met Laura, the love of his life and wife of 27 years in junior high. They were married on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas. They lived, raised their family, and built lifelong friendships in the Cuernavaca neighborhood. Brent was involved in all aspects of his daughters’ lives including coaching soccer, taking them hunting, and spending time on Lake Austin. It was in this home that Brent crafted a backyard oasis, a place to gather with the people he cherished most, his family.

Brent was a devoted husband, father, and friend. Anyone who spent 5 minutes with him quickly knew he had a big heart, was full of love and his hugs were everlasting. He was the “Life-of the-Party”, his smile infectious, and his laugh contagious. Brent’s friendship was unconditional, he was the one to call if you were in need. He was cherished by so many and his world was centered around his wife Laura, his four daughters Taylor, Haley, Madison, and Emma and his son Dillon.

Brent was an avid hunter, fisherman, baseball player, fitness enthusiast, builder, and “fixer” of all things. He celebrated his 25-year Anniversary at Southern Glaziers Wine & Spirits this past January.

Brent is preceded in death by his mother and father Forest & Peggy Hodges. He is survived by his devoted, loving and caring wife Laura, his daughters, Taylor (son-in-law, John), Haley (son -in-law David), Madison, Emma and his son Dillon. Brent is also survived by his sister Hayley Killam, his Aunt Bonnie Hood & Uncle Red Hood, his mother-in-law Peggy Carman and countless friends.

A Celebration of Brent’s Life will be held at a future date.
