In Loving Memory of Ottis Dearrell Hodges

Ottis Dearrell Hodges, 68, of Beebe, Arkansas, passed away on November 3, 2026.

Ottis was a hardworking man who took pride in everything he did. After many dedicated years of service, he retired from Walmart Distribution, where he worked as a diesel mechanic. He was a man who believed in hard work, providing for his family, and doing things the right way.

Outside of work, Ottis was an avid outdoorsman who found great joy in spending time in the woods. Deer camp and deer hunting were among his greatest passions. He cherished the time spent outdoors, the memories made around camp, and the friendships and traditions that came with it. The outdoors was more than just a hobby to Ottis; it was a part of who he was.

Above all, Ottis leaves behind a family who loved him dearly and memories that will be treasured for generations.

He is survived by his loving spouse of 41 years, Debbie Hodges; his children, Brandy Usery (Kenneth), Ashley Williams (Clint), and Adam Hodges (Megan); his beloved grandchildren, Morgan Covington (Mason), Blake Usery, Mackenzie Hodges (Peyton), Elle Williams, and Addison Hodges; his siblings, Donna, Felecia, Duree, Freda, Freeman, and Robert Jr.

He was preceded in death by his father, mother and stepfather, William Hodges, Darlene Love and Robert Love, and his grandson, Hunter Williams.

Ottis will be remembered for his strong work ethic and love for his grandchildren.

Honoring Ottis’s wishes, he will be cremated, and no funeral service will be held. His family will honor his wishes and cherish the memories, love, and time they shared with him. May he rest peacefully.
