From the Bakersfield Californian, February 16, 2006: Steven Eugene Hogan, born October 13, 1950 and died February 13, 2006. Steve is survived by his wife, Judy Hogan of Sacramento, two sons, Nathan and his wife, Denisse Hogan of Bakersfield and Andy Hogan of Hanford; mother, Anita Hogan of Bakersfield; sister, Judy Sims and her husband, Jim of Riverside and five grandchildren. Steve was a very intelligent man who had a deep love of books, history and knowledge in general. He was one of those rare people who could carry on a conversation about almost any subject. Steve came from a long line of men who had served their country with honor, a fact he was very proud of and a major influence in his life. At the age of 18, he entered the Army with one goal, to be the best. His desire led him to Fort Bragg where he became a Green Beret. Shortly after, he went to serve his country in the Viet Nam war, a cause which he believed in. Steve was very skilled with his hands, and spent many years doing maintenance and repair work both for his own company “Minuteman Home Repair” and various hotels. A true jack of all trades he could fix most anything around the house. He enjoyed being outdoors and all aspects of nature. Steve left this world too soon and will be missed by those he touched in life. Steve is preceded in death by his father, Gus Hogan.
Interment in Greenlawn Memorial Park, Bakersfield, CA.

I remember Steve as being mild mannored. Apparenty a lot of us change after leaving High School. Becomming a Green Beret is impressive to say the least. Good for you Steve. He told me once that his idea of being in Heaven is riding his mini bike. He fought for our country. He deserves that and much more.
