Thomas Michael “Bunny” Hogan, 67, was born in Valentine, Nebraska on Easter Day, April 6, 1958 the son of Thomas Ira and Marilyn Ruth (Cournoyer) Hogan.

He passed away after a sudden heart attack on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming.

Tom was proud of his Lakota Sioux heritage as a descendent of Chief Spotted Tail. A member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, he grew up helping his family train quarter horses on their ranch in Rosebud, South Dakota. He graduated from Todd County High School in Mission, South Dakota in 1976, and he went on to earn his welding degree from Mitchell Technical College, and later became well-known for his pipe welding and fabricating.

In his younger years, Tom enjoyed saddle bronc riding and rodeos. After marrying his wife, Cindy Hogan, in 1989, he settled down in Douglas, Wyoming until they relocated to Beatrice, Nebraska in 2014, where he worked for the City of Beatrice.
