Patrick David Hodgman, 63. On November 1, 2017 Pat passed away peacefully at home after a battle with ALS that was fought with dignity and grace. He was born August 3,1954 to Mary Ellen Hodgman and Rolland Hodgman.

Pat attended Mount Vernon Schools and graduated from MVHS in 1972. In 1973 he met Lora, the love of his life and in 1975 they were married. They have two children Heather Hodgman and David Hodgman.

Pat grew up and worked on his Grandfathers farm in Edison. He then worked in the plywood industry in his early 20's then switched to the boat building industry. Pat worked at Bayliner in Arlington for 18 years then moved on to Northern Marine in Anacortes for many years until his retirement.
