Kevin Hogan

Michael “Kevin” Hogan passed away Tuesday, March 24, 2020 unexpectedly at the age of 65. Born in 1954, Kevin, was adopted in Nashville TN, and raised in Tullahoma, TN and Huntsville, AL. The son of William Joseph Hogan and Mary Leatherbury Hogan, he is survived by his daughter, Keleigh Hogan her mother, Cara Hogan, sisters Florence Hill Hogan, Mary Hogan Thompson, and brother William Duncan Hogan. Kevin is also survived by members of his New York extended family, who he was fortunate to meet later in his life.

Kevin attended SR Butler High School in Huntsville, AL. He was a well-known bass player in his young adult life, playing in bands like “Thunder” and “AEON”, then moving to Nashville to play with artists like Delbert McClinton, Mel and the Party Hats and Tony Joe White. His 25-year career continued with country music legends like Tonya Tucker, Waylon Jennings, and Clay Walker.

Kevin celebrated the birth of daughter Keleigh Lane Hogan on April 28, 1998, whom he loved and adored with all his heart. He was an amazingly gifted artist, musician, and photographer whose inspirational photography was widely used by LifeWay and Methodist Publishing Houses. He was also the owner and photographer and as he would say the “landscaper” of Spring Haven Mansion in Hendersonville, TN. Kevin will be greatly missed, he was a positive, gentle soul with a good-natured sense of humor. His connection to life is still alive in his artwork, music, photography and of course his daughter.
