The Bakersfield Californian 
Dodgin, Steve     
1954 - 2005 
 
Steve Dodgin 
Services: Fri., Aug. 5, 1:30 p.m. 

Family and friends have suffered a great loss. Steve was born on February 26, 
1954 and left this earth on July 30, 2005. Born in Oxnard, CA, he moved to 
Bakersfield at age four and graduated from Foothill High in 1972. He was a 
prominent bail agent who entertained all with his commercials as the owner of 
Bail Bond Leon and later Oil dale Bail Bonds. He even appeared before the 
California Legislature and performed an integral role in passing bail law. He 
was a play-by-ear musician and music fanatic; traveled so that he could show 
loved ones new places; had an unending sense of humor complimented by his big 
heart; warmed his mothers heart with countless phone calls, comical voice 
messages, and often reminders of his appreciation of her love; and would never 
let a story go unheard or a favor left undone. He lived his life for those 
around him and we will all miss having good news and not being able to tell 
him first. He is survived by his mother, Kay Dodgin; three children, Jennifer, 
Dustin and Alicia Dodgin; his fiancée, Peri Jonas, her children, Chris and 
Courtney Hardt and her parents, Earl and Jerry Jonas; sister Beth Taylor and 
her children, Geoff and Lindsey; auntie June; numerous cousins; and the mother 
of his children, Sue Dodgin. He is preceded in death by his grandma Dody who 
will be watching over him. Steve was so proud of his family and will be dearly 
missed. Services will be held on Friday, August 5, 2005 at 1:30 pm at 
Greenlawn Southwest Memorial Park, 2739 Panama Lane. A college fund has been 
set up for his youngest daughter, Alicia. Donations can be made to Washington 
Mutual Bank Acct #341-688618-9.
