CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Friends and family came together Tuesday to remember a Clinton Township man who was killed trying to save his pets from a house fire. The fire broke out at about 3 a.m. Saturday at the mobile home on Enchante Drive near Hayes Road. Michelle Brooks described the moments when the fire erupted at the residence she shared with her fiancé Kevin Hodges. Friends and family, including Hodges’ brother and two daughters, gathered outside of the now-destroyed home Tuesday, which would have been his 57th birthday. And I don’t know if he realized how many people cared for him,” said his daughter Hayley Hodges.
