To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Obituary
Jason E Hogan was born and raised in the mountains of Colorado. He lived large and pursued all his dreams. Jason grew up in Coal Creek Canyon In the foothills of the Rockies surrounded wonderful neighbors and friends, who today still remember and love him. Jason attended Western State University and the Rocky Mtn College of Art & Design. As a young man he worked in Alaska as a fishing and hunt guide. After graduation, Jason entered the mining industry as a Surveyor and rose quickly in the ranks to train and manage others in this field. Jason traveled and worked throughout the US and gained a reputation...as Irreplaceable. One of his proudest achievements was working on the Sanford Underground Scientific Project in Lead, SD. He assisted in the conversion of the deepest gold mine to an underground research facility to house the study of dark matter and exploration of future energy sources. Jason received numerous accommodations and awards for his service.
While Jason worked primarily underground, he loved the great outdoors and nature. He skied, biked, hiked, camped, fished, rafted and snowmobiled throughout the country. One of his passions was motocross racing and actually he loved all vehicle racing, from dirt bikes to F1. In January Jason attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He was an avid participant in the Baja 1000 and Baja 500. In June, Jason was the second team rider in the 2026 Baja 500 when he succumbed to the heat and arduous weight of the race. He was living his dream and surrounded by his fellow racing community in his final hours.
Jason was a kind, gentle, strong, generous, loyal son, brother, uncle and friend. He was dearly loved by everyone he met. He selflessly gave to others and was a protector of the environment. Jason volunteered each spring to clear the bike and hiking trails in his community. He is gone too soon and will be dearly missed by so many.
