Maurice I. Rogan
It is with profound sorrow and a deep sense of loss, the Rogan family and Rogan Funeral Home announce the passing of our beloved Mr. Maurice I. Rogan, Sr., co‑owner, devoted family man, and cherished pillar of our community. Mr. Rogan transitioned peacefully into the arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, at 3:11 a.m.
Maurice was a man whose presence could light up any room. He was fun, full of life and blessed with a personality that drew people in wherever he went. Extremely social and endlessly welcoming, he truly never met a stranger. Whether sharing a laugh, offering a listening ear, or simply showing up with his trademark warmth and smile, he made everyone feel like a friend.
Within the funeral home, Maurice was more than a leader — he was a steady, compassionate guide to countless families during their hardest moments. His kindness, integrity, and unwavering commitment to serving others shaped the very heart of Rogan Funeral Home and touched lives far beyond its doors.
To his family, he was a source of strength, joy, and unconditional love. To the community, he was a man of honor whose generous spirit and genuine connection with people made a lasting impact. His passing has created a TREMENDOUS void, and he will be immensely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Leaving to forever love and remember him are his son, Maurice I. Rogan, Jr.; brother and sister-in-love, Billy D. and Billye F. Rogan; sister, Thelma Henderson; special niece, Conna Rogan; the Rogan Funeral Home staff – Elihue Jackson, Dennis Pearl and Onita Green; and a whole host of nieces, nephews, in-laws, cousins and other extended family members and friends. As we mourn this tremendous loss, we also celebrate a life lived with purpose, laughter, dignity, and compassion. We will celebrate this beautiful life at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026 at the South Central District Building located at 506 S. Dewitt in Hugo. Pastor, Dr. David L. Monk, Eulogist. Interment immediately following at Crosley Cemetery.
