James Louie "Jim" Hodge

James Louie “Jim” Hodge, 87, of Biloxi, MS passed away on Saturday, April 4, 2026.

Jim was a hardworking and dedicated man who took great pride in owning and operating his construction company, Continental Aluminum. Through his work, he built more than a business – he built a legacy of determination, strength and commitment that will be remembered by those who knew him.

Jim had a deep love for life and enjoyed the things that brought him peace and happiness, especially playing the guitar and riding motorcycles. Whether strumming a tune or enjoying the open road, he embraced life with independence and spirit.

Above all, Jim loved his family. He was a devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather whose life touched many. His strength, wisdom and presence will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.

2 Timothy 4:7 “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Margie Bell Hodge; his parents, John and Ruby Hodge; his daughter, Margie Lynn Waldrop; and his grandson, Corey Havelin.

Jim leaves to cherish his memory: his son, Brent (Rachel) Hodge; his daughter, Marsha (Robbie) McGrew; his beloved grandchildren, Jayme (Laura) Hodge, Nathan Pittman, Cameron (Alexis) Pittman, Joshua (Rianna) Pittman and Baylee (Peter) Holland; and his cherished great-grandchildren, Aiden and Emma Hodge and Scarlett and Kohen Pittman.
