I am sad to report that John Hodgeson of N.A.M.E has lost his daughter Joann age 33 on January 29th 2009 due to complications of Diabetes. She is survived by her loving parents, brother David, step siblings Krystal and John Jr, loving husband Aj, and her children Sierra(11), Paige(10),Evan(9)Rice, Ryan(5)and Renee(3) Hickman. John as we all know use to work for Gooding Amusments then spent some time with Pugh Shows and has since moved with N.A.M.E. My heart goes out to him and the rest of his family in this time of need. Peace be with them.

I am so sorry to hear about that loss.

Sorry to hear as well. I knew John and his children from my days on Pugh. Please pass along my condolences.

OMG.. This is so sad. I knew Joann from Pugh too. Please let Johnny know he is in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to all I am going to print this out for John in about a week so he can have it and share it with the kids when they get older. Anyone want to share a story please do.

its always a sad thing to lose a luved one, but with such a large family it really sinks that feelin in your stomach, as i did not know this family, i still send my prayers and thoughts for them in this sad time, we in this industry never think about life untill someone loses a life, again my prayers for you and your family......

my best.
