Jared Hogan passed away on Friday morning, November 26, 2004, a week after being severely injured in a car accident. Jared was a 2 time state champion from East Gaston (Class of 2003). Condolences to the Hogan family can be sent care of Coach Scott Goins, East Gaston High School, 1744 Lane Rd, Mt Holly NC, 28120, or via email at coachgoins@egwrestling.com There is a page set up at Everlasting Memorial where you can view Jared's memorial and submit a tribute. I know that those of us who knew Jared will always remember his smile. His win in the state finals as a junior in 2002 was certainly one of the most memorable victories I've ever seen, and I will always remember the joy in his face when he fell to his knees on the mat after he won. It's an image that has stayed with me for 2+ years, and it is how I will always remember him. (and of course I'll never forget Romeo & Juliet either) My prayers are for Jared's family, and my heart is with the Warriors as I know they will honor his memory through their performances this season. I know that the entire NC wrestling family is praying for all of you. |
Jared Hogan Memorial Scholarship Fund
In January of 2005, a group of about 20 East Gaston wrestling parents, past and present, started a scholarship fund in Jared's honor. The goal is to raise enough money to fund a yearly $500 scholarship in Jared's name. Through a small group of dedicated people, the scholarship fund reached over $5000 in May 2005. Some of this money came from a golf outing and various booth sales at the school, but it has mainly come from individual donations. At the 2004-05 wrestling banquet, the Hogan family selected Rob Tate as the first recipient. $500 from the fund will go towards Rob's education at Gardner Webb University. Jared was a special young man who made an impression on everyone he knew. Through this scholarship fund, the East Gaston Warrior Wrestling Family and NC Mat hope that his spirit will live on and be able to touch lives for many years to come. We are asking everyone in the extended wrestling family to contribute to the Jared Hogan Memorial Scholarship Fund. Donations
