Michael Hugh Hopson

February 5, 2021

Michael Hugh Hopson, 75, passed away February, 5th after a yearlong battle with cancer. Mike is survived by his wife of 52 years, Judy Hopson; their daughter Amy Nobles and her husband Chad, their son Josh Hopson and his wife Nelly; three beloved grandchildren; Wade Nobles, 16, Kate Nobles, 14, Lilly Hopson, 4 and brother Jimmy Hopson and wife Nicole. Mike had many titles over his 75 years of life but some of his favorites were educator and coach. He had a passion for teaching students and he did that on all academic levels from the elementary school to the college campus. Seeing students excel in the classroom, on the golf course and in life gave him great joy. He shared the gift of knowledge and memory that God gifted him with in every way he could. When Mike was not teaching, he was on the golf course. Golf was a passion he found at the age of 13, guided by his father. It took him to many exciting places, allowed him to meet many wonderful people and build life long friendships. In retirement he liked to say he played golf on every day that ended in “y”. Just about the only thing that would keep him off the golf course was a sporting event in which his grandchildren were participating. If they were playing on a field or a court, he would be in the stands or on the sidelines. Hop was their biggest fan. Mike was never without a smile, a good story, or a joke. A Scholarship has been set up in Mike’s honor at Stephen F. Austin University Donations can be made to: The Michael Hopson Memorial Golf Scholarship PO Box 6092 - SFA station Nacogdoches, TX 75962 Check made out to: Stephen F.
