To the Hopkins family, Mr. Hopkins was a very nice man. My daughter enjoyed Mr. Hopkins in the Charter Schools. To my understanding... he would never forget someone's word or promise and this was one of his strongest traits. God needed his angel. God bless you and your family. With deepest sympathy. From the Flippin-Hayes family.

Our family first got to know Mr. Hopkins as Shamika's grandpa. Then the 3 oldest all got to experience him in the education system. I will always remember him for his love for God, his family and kids and his contagious laughter. You will be missed Mr. Hopkins!

To Mr. Hopkins family, Mr. Hopkins was truly a great man, he will be missed by many! He was my football coach at Cental High school, then my son's principle at Ordean East. It's great that both myself and my son came to know such a great man. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. From, Jedediah Sajec and the Sajec Family.

I will miss my friend who taught me much about listening, love, laughter and how to buildi bridges. Most importantly, he was unfraid to emotionally express his love and profound gratitude towards God. He was contagious. Dennis Palm
