Michael Kent Bogue

February 21, 1953 ~ August 10, 2024

Michael K. Bogue, 71, of Sioux Falls, SD, lost his battle to cancer on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at his home surrounded by his family.

Michael Kent Bogue was born on February 21, 1953, in Kokomo, IN. Mike was the youngest of two boys born to Paul Bogue and Earnestine (Horoho) Bogue. Growing up, Mike lived in many states due to his father’s job before settling in California where he would meet the love of his life, Lori McNeil, while at a church youth group. They would marry on July 23, 1973, in California, where they would continue living, loving, and working while raising their four children.

Mike’s relationship with God played an active role throughout his life. Mike and his wife, Lori, were active youth leaders in their early years of courtship and marriage, progressing over time to an active role in the FCF, where their children regularly joined them. He was a Royal Rangers leader during his son’s younger years as well as a Deacon in the church. Mike loved spending time outdoors with his family, camping, and fishing. He also enjoyed spending time at the ocean collecting his moonstone.

After 50 years in the sales and distribution, Mike retired from Lowes. In his free time, Mike loved coaching his grandchildren’s little league, where he was referred to as “Coach Poppa.” As the grandchildren grew up, Mike remained active by playing golf with family and friends. 

Mike is survived by his wife, Lori; their four children, (twins) Michael and Heather, Jennifer, and Andrea; his grandchildren, Jordynn, Kyle, Stefanie, Cierra-Jo, Gaby, Clayton, Timothy, Jon, and Kloie.

Mike was preceded in death by his brother, Jeffery; and his parents, Paul and Ernestine.
