Victor Wayne Hodge, Sr.
April 22, 1950 - May 15, 2025
Victor Wayne Hodge, Sr., 75, of Shepherdsville, KY entered the Kingdom of Heaven on May 15, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.
Victor dedicated 47 years of hard work and commitment to Jim Beam before retiring and leaving behind a legacy of integrity. Known as a man of his word, he carried himself with quiet strength and unwavering faith throughout his life.
He found the greatest joy in traveling and taking cruises with his beloved wife, Victoria Deborah Lynn Hodge. Together, they made countless memories exploring the world side by side.
Vic is survived by his loving wife, Victoria; daughters Misty Jackson (Tim), Christy Worner (Jack); sons Victor Wayne Hodge III (Chrystal), Timothy "TJ" Belcher (Desa), and Christopher Hodge (Lawrence); 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren; sisters Jerrie Jackson (Junie) and Phyllis Oller, brother Roger Losch (Wanda); extended family Shelly and Scottie Clark, several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
His presence, wisdom, and steady love will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. A man of character and conviction, Vic not only leaves behind a strong family but a lasting example of devotion, faith and love.
Vic was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Zelma Losch, brother Mack Losch, sister Jeannie Hodge, sons Victor Wayne Hodge, Jr, and Tobias Lee Andrew Hodge, and daughter Cassandra Leigh Hodge Schmidt. His best little boy, Schnoot, was waiting for him.
In honor of Vic’s wishes, a gathering for the celebration of his life will be held at Berheim Forest on May 24 at 4:00 pm. Everyone who knew and loved him is welcome. Interment will be at the Hodge/Losch Family Cemetery on Castleman Branch Road. Magnolia Cremations was in charge of the arrangements.

Sending my deepest condolences to his family. I first met him when Cassie and I were in law school and grew to love him and her whole family. I will be out of town for a wedding this weekend or I would be there at Bernheim to remember him with you. Just know you all are in our thoughts and prayers as you remember him together.

Dad, there are no words big enough for the space you’ve left behind. You gave so much without ever asking for anything in return. You gave your whole heart to Mom and to all of us. Your quick wit brought so much laughter, even on the hardest days, and your presence made everything feel safe. I miss you.. Thank you for everything, Dad. I love you.

There is no sadness in doing the things we wanted to and while time seems short, dad was always there, too. We laughed, we cried and at times, just silence… this love defined our space, our moment and the existence we shared, so it’s hard, it’s difficult and maddening being so bare saying… I love you and goodnight and I’ll see you, over there.
