Donald William Hogg

July 22, 1957 - May 6, 2024

Donald William Hogg of Winnemucca, Nevada passed away unexpectedly in Reno, Nevada on May 6, 2024.
Don was born July 22, 1957, in Clay Center, Kansas to George William and Nancy Lou Hogg. He was the oldest of four children.
Don spent his childhood years in various places, ending up in Idaho Falls, Idaho where he graduated from Skyline High School in 1975.
He enlisted in the United States Army and spent time in Korea and Panama. He received an honorable discharge in 1979.
He then attended Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho and graduated with a degree in Telecommunications in 1982.
While at ISU, he met and married his wife Donna Reynolds in August of 1981.
Upon graduation, he and Donna moved to San Jose, California where he worked for Pacific Gas & Electric as an Underground Lead Cable Splicer. After several years, he and Donna relocated to Sparks, Nevada eventually coming to Winnemucca, where they have lived and made their home in this amazing community for the past 28 years.
Don has worked for AT&T as a Combination Technician since coming to Winnemucca and retired last October 2023.
Don was an avid NASCAR fan, NRA supporter, and patriot who loved his country. He had the best sense of humor, which if you weren’t careful would catch you off guard.
He loved his four-legged kids and had a tender, caring heart. He was a gentle giant of a man. People he met, no matter who they were, ended up calling him “Boss.”
He loved going on side-by-side rides with friends, unplanned adventures, traveling with Donna, and having lunch with “The Boys” at the Martin every Friday.
He is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Donna. His parents George William and Nancy Lou Hogg, two sisters, Candace (Michael) Ancho and Linda (Dan) Zentner all of Idaho Falls, and brother Herb of Boise, Idaho. Also, nieces Miranda and Cassidy Blair and nephew Brandon Blair.
He will also be sorely missed by an amazing family of friends.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary, Imlay, Nevada, or Best Friends Animal Society (bestfriends.org) or your favorite charity in his memory.
A Celebration of Life will be held on May 18, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS Church, 111 West McArthur Ave., Winnemucca, Nevada.
