Arden Hodgins Jr. went home to be with Jesus on August 13, 2024 at the age of 60.

Arden was born to Arden and Edna Hodgins on March 24, 1964 in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. His childhood years were spent in Chester, PA where he attended Christian school with his siblings and spent countless hours playing outdoors. He and his family moved to Washington state when he was 12 years old and settled on the east hill of Kent.  Arden met his wife,  Dani, in 1981 and they became high school sweethearts. They were married on December 29th, 1984 and went on to have 3 daughters, Abigail, Aubrey, and Amelia. Arden worked for Boeing for 10 years while also preaching regularly at Providence Reformed Baptist Church. In 1996, Arden and his family moved to eastern Washington where he planted and established a church in Lewiston, ID. He pastored there for nearly 10 years before accepting a call from a congregation in La Mirada, CA. He served there for 13 years before moving back to Kent to retire. In addition to being a dedicated and loving father and husband, Arden was an amazing cook, accomplished musician, witty punster, and lover of the simple things in life. Throughout his most difficult days and to the very end, Arden held fast to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

One of Arden's favorite verses in Scripture:

"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39
