Kellen Edwin Hodge

It is with heavy hearts and profound gratitude for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Kellen Edwin Hodge, who departed this world peacefully on January 21, 2026, at the age of 68. Born on June 6, 1957, in Pittsburgh, PA, a son of the late Edwin and Ruth (Link) Hodge, Kellen was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose legacy will forever resonate in the hearts of those he touched.

Kellen dedicated many years of his life to the steel industry, proudly working at ATI as a skilled steel worker. His strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to his craft were emblematic of his character and reflected his deep love for his family and community.

Kellen was a member of the California Young Men’s Club, the Daisytown Athletic Club, the Allegheny Chapter of Soccer Officials, and the Baldwin Community Methodist Church.

He leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory: his devoted wife, Susan (Wilson) Hodge and his son and daughter-in-law Jeremy and Tanya Hodge. Kellen took great joy in being a grandfather to his cherished grandson, Jackson Hodge. He is also survived by his siblings, sister Jessica Hodge and brother William Hodge, as well as his brother-in-law, Stewart Wohlrab and numerous nieces and nephews and friends.

Kellen's life was a testament to resilience and love, and although we grieve his passing, we choose to celebrate the incredible person he was.

A series of gatherings will honor Kellen's memory and the impact he had on all our lives. Family will receive friends in the Mariscotti Funeral Home, Inc.  Anthony N. Mariscotti, Supervisor, 323 Fourth Street, California, PA on Friday January 23, 2026, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 PM.  A funeral service will be held on Saturday January 24, 2026 at 11 AM in the funeral home with Rev. Kenneth Silva, officiating.

Kellen will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to inspire us all.
