Thomas Hogan Obituary
AURORA CO Thomas W. Hogan 55, formerly of Medford, MA died suddenly on May 27, 2025.
Tom grew up in Medford, MA and attended Medford Vocational High School to be an Electrician. He worked his way up to Master Electrician and moved to Colorado. There, he met his wife, Treena and had two children - Rachel, 19, and Zachary, 16, of whom he held dearest to his heart. Tom rarely could get through a conversation without boasting about his children, they meant the world to him.
A self-made businessman, Tom built an impressive electrical business in Aurora, Colorado. He was an extremely dedicated and hard worker.
Tom was an outdoorsman and loved fishing, hiking, camping and the snow. He loved animals, particularly his beloved dogs. He enjoyed cooking and was quite the chef when behind a grill or a smoker.
Tom loved sports, his favorites were hockey and football. Tom played hockey his entire life, including adulthood. He was extremely proud to be a hockey coach for some of Zachary's teams, and enjoyed doing this immensely.
Tom had an amazing sense of humor and could effortlessly command the room when telling a story.
Tom is survived by his wife Treena, daughter Rachel, son Zachary; his mother Judith A. Hogan of North Andover, Massachusetts; his sister Donna DeWolfe of Charleston, South Carolina; his sister, Karen Stearns and Husband Rob of Andover Massachusetts; and many beautiful nieces and nephews. A Celebration Of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to one of the following organizations: the National Alliance on Mental Illness @ NAMI.org" rel="sponsored">NAMI.org or American Institute for Boys and Men @ AIBM.org in Tom's name.
We are positively overwhelmed by the amazing love and support we have received from all of our family and friends. We are so appreciative. Thank-you so much.

I am extremely sorry to hear about this loss. I remember many years ago when i babysat the kids, Thomas insisted on walking me home since it was late at night. I only lived down the street, but he was insistent on making sure I got home safely. You will all be in my prayers.

Tom and Zach built a pool for me in my back yard and seeing Zach work with his dad and bond with his dad really inspired me to strengthen my relationship with my dad. I am grateful for tom and Zach everyday because Zach is a good friend and I loved playing hockey with him. I am so grateful for tom because his amazing electrical skills basically built my back yard. Also tom was a good friend to my dad and they related a lot, that meant a lot to me because usually my dad doesn´t always connect with my friends parents. Rest easy Tommy, much love -Max

Tommy was my sons Brady first head coach when we started ice hockey at 10u. He always had a smile on his face when he was at the rink and Brady and Zach dominated the 10u Division. Brady learned so much that first year and I believe helped Brady develop to where he is now. Tommy was a great guy off the ice and was very generous and would do anything for anyone. Our hearts go out to the Hogan Family. RIP Coach!!

My dad was one of my favorite people. He only ever cared about making others happy and valued memories and experiences over money. He was generous, kind, and funny. When he had employees, he would take them out for dinner on Friday nights. One time, his employee couldn´t afford a necessary dental surgery so my dad paid for it out of the kindness of his heart. He worked incredibly hard to provide his family with a comfortable life. As kids, my dad bought my brother and I many gifts and toys each time we went to the store with him. My dad loved the quiet outdoors and nature. In particular, my dad loved the ocean, as he used to fish with his father in Boston. One fond memory I have of him was in Florida a couple years ago. He slipped and fell and hurt himself quite badly in our rental home, in which he ended up going to the ER. The next day, my dad spent a good hour slowly waddling to the shore using a cane because he loved the ocean water so much. Immediately once he reached it, he fell over and had to get out. His dedication to reach the ocean was admirable. He had a fond spot for animals - dogs, cats, bears, etc. I found it so funny that he had such a soft spot for small furry animals. One time our house was on fire and dangerous to be in, and my dad went inside to save my cat Buford. By the time he came out his eyebrows were burned off. He could make fun out of anything boring. I have many memories of ghost-hunting with him. He had such an intelligent perspective on the world; he just cared about people. I will continue to pass on the legacy of my father through myself. Losing him is the hardest thing I have ever experienced. My dad made me feel safe and loved. Not a day goes by that I don´t think about or miss him. I think that more people in the world should be like my dad. I miss you more than you will ever know Dad. Rest peacefully. I love you to the moon and back.
Love,
Rachel

Tommy aka Bossman was such a good guy, but most importantly he was a great dad. I am his son´s best friend and worked with them at BlackBear so I´ve seen the greatness of tom and the legacy he left behind. He was one of the hardest workers I've ever met and that definitely rubbed off on me and Zach. Thank you for all the great memories and lessons Bossman.

Tommy was a special man. Hard working, funny, and loved his family. Here he is working with Zach on a project for us last fall.... most recent pic I have... and it exemplifies what a hard worker he was. I have never seen someone get some much done so fast, and so well. He was a great guy and I will miss him. Much love to the Hogan family.

Terrible news to hear of Tommy's passing. I grew up with Tommy in Medford, we went to high school together and I recall us playing little league baseball together. Always a good soul. Condolences and prayers for healing to Trena, Rachel and Zachary .

I'm sorry to hear about Tom's passing and I hope his family and kids are doing ok. Tom and I worked together and he always took pride in his work. In fact, he would sign his name in the back of the panel when he made it up. He will be missed and I wish you all the best. Rob
