John "Jack" Christopher Hogue

Jack Hogue of St. Augustine, Florida, passed away on August 17th, 2021. Born October 1st, 1962 to Roy E. and Sally J. Donovan Hogue of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. Jack was a light to others, always equipped with a huge smile and a gleam in his eye. He graduated from Penn Hills High School in 1980, where he explored a love of drama and song with his dear friends, performing the lead in “Harvey” his senior year, and even writing and directing his own One-act play, titled “The Sword of Krandor,” which was very well received.  

Jack graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama & Mass Communications from the Franciscan University of Steubenville in 1983. He worked in Television for many years as a Writer, Director, Producer, Technical Director, etc.; founded a dot-com Internet dial-up business with his good friends; before he and his wife, Stefanie, went on together to pioneer an IT enterprise serving small businesses, where he worked happily as an IT consultant / Chief Technical Officer and Networking Administrator for the remainder of his career.

Jack met the love of his life, Stefanie Sue Hutchison, at Cornerstone TeleVision. They married one year later on August 8th, 1987. Together with his wife, Jack built a beautiful family of 9, with 6 sons and 1 daughter. During his free time, Jack could be found cracking dad jokes, praying, enjoying a trip to the movies with his family, fighting lynels in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or sipping on a glass of whiskey on the rocks.

Jack and Stefanie raised their family at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, where they served for over 10 years on the Pastoral Council.  After their move to St. Augustine, Florida, Jack and Stefanie became members of Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church where they together led prayer and songs at Daily Mass. Also, this past June, together they were able to travel with Triumph Pilgrimages to Medjugorje, where Jack was quickly loved by his fellow pilgrims.

Jack spent much of his life doing what he loved, using his gift of song to bless others and rejoice in his love for God. Jack was a truly beautiful soul, a deeply loving father, a faithful friend, a steadfast brother and son, a devoted husband, and a joyful son of God. May his radiant spirit live on in all of those whom he loved.

He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Stefanie Sue Hutchison Hogue; 7 children, Jon (Anya) Hueing, Joseph (Lauren) Hogue, Sean Hogue, Daniel Hogue, Conner Hogue, Elise Hogue, and Matthew Hogue; grandchildren, Joseph Robert Hogue and his brother-on-the-way; also by his brother, Timothy D. (Robyn) Hogue; and his nieces, Sydney Hogue and Giselle Hogue.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Sally J.
