Noticed yesterday afternoon we had no hot water. Pilot light on gas water heater was out. Re-lit pilot light had hot water last night and this morning but none now.

Depending upon your setup. IT could be a bad thermocouple or a partially clogged pilot lite orifice allowing the draw through the water heater to blow or snuff the pilot out.
