Sad to hear of Jody’s passing. It’s been years since I’ve seen him. When ever I recall his name I’m sent back to the 3rd grade, Ms. Dema was our teacher at East Heights grade school. So long ago. She made each of us an ornament for our Christmas tree that year. Tin soldiers for the boys and the girls angels. Hand painting our name them. I pray for time to ease your pain and memories to bring a smile to your face. Deepest sympathy to all those that knew him.

Dear Hahn Family,
I am sadden to learn of Jody’s passing. Having met Jody in junior high and growing up through those middle years, I came to know a guy who had the biggest heart and love for his family and friends! I can still see that GREAT BIG MISCHIEVOUS smile of his that went from ear to ear! His passion for life and his friends always served as an inspiration for me! I send my thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace and may your memories help to ease your pain~
I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know him personally, but I know him and Rusty were good friends growing up. Prayers for your family.

To Jim and Justin and Family, so sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace…Mike Hadl….
So sorry to hear about this. Jody and I were friends were close to 50 years. Such a nice guy who would do anything for anyone without expecting anything in return. A hard worker who cared deeply for his family and friends. R.I.P. old friend you will be missed by many…
Jamie, Jimmy, Justin and Family.
I was saddened to hear of Jody’s passing. It doesn’t seem like long ago we were all playing in the back yard of Grandpa George and Grandma Connie’s after they returned from a fishing trip. Seeing Jody at Kaw Motors with Dad Jim, Sonny and Mike. I don’t think there was a day he was not in his element covered with an inch of grease, oil and antifreeze and dirt to seal it from crawling under the cars in the back lot to pull one part that was gold to a customer. He was an absolute gentleman and a great father who would give the shirt off his back to help someone. He was raised by two terrific people that are missed daily, Audrey and Jim. We will all miss you my friend, May GOD bless all of you with his GRACE in the coming days, weeks and months.
Sending our condolences to the Hahn family, from the Dillon family.
So sad about Jody, the Hahn family was a long time family growing up that we always loved spending time with. Jamie, you and all the family are in my prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss . I have many fond memories of you all .
Sorry to hear about Jody. He was a good friend all these years. Spent alot of time with him and his dad Jimmy at Kaw Motors. Your in my prayers.
Just so very sorry about losing Jody. I spent so much time with this family when I was young they felt like my family. Your in my thoughts and always in my prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Y’all are in my thoughts and prayers..
Pam, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m thinking of you and your family. God bless you all.
LHS Lion class of 1978. May he rest in peace.
