Michael "Ta" John Hogan

He grew up in Jesup, Iowa with his 4 brothers and 3 sisters on the family farm. Michael started his first

business of Jesup Paving Co. in 1973. Ten years later he moved his family and paving crew to sunny Arizona where he was able to work year round, avoiding the harsh Iowa winters. Michael was a partner with Western Paving Co. in Phoenix, AZ. A major construction project brought him to Yuma, AZ where he formed Schogan Companies. After many successful construction projects, he formed a partnership with Red Mountain Machinery. Michaels last adventure was buying and selling Caterpillar equipment.

Michael married his wife, Joanne, in 1966 and together they raised two children son Sean and daughter, Michelle Missy. He is survived by his wife, Joanne, of 54 years, son Sean (Connie) of Chino Valley, AZ; their children Tristan and Jacob; daughter Michelle (Charlie

Castaneda) of Yuma, and their children Kristina, Adam and Zach, and his great grandchildren Landon and Harley; his brothers Martin, Rob, and Bill and sisters Kate and Helen, along with many nieces and nephews- a special nephew Joe Hogan of Yuma.

He is preceded in death by his parents Robert and Marcella Marcie Hogan, sister Mary and brother Tom.

Michael will be remembered as someone who had a big heart, quick wit, and forthright honesty.
