DOUGLAS JOHN HOGG
After a lengthy battle with cancer Dad passed away on February 20, 2026. Born August 10, 1944, during the end of Second World War where his dad served as a flight instructor, dad grew up in Warren on the family farm. These two aspects of his early life were very formative in his interests throughout life as he had a lifelong passion for aviation and farming that were part of his thoughts right through his final days.
Predeceased by his parents James and Norma and son Todd, he leaves his wife Audrey, daughters Paula (David) and Jlee (Delmar) and his very special grandchildren Reed, Bryn, Matthew (Anthony), Emily (Mitch) and Graydon.
Dad started with Manitoba Hydro right out of high school and spent many decades working in many roles and departments that took him all over the province and the world. He and mom married November 7, 1974 where he had an instant family with mom, Paula and Todd. Jlee arrived the following year. They enjoyed just over 51 years of marriage with most of those in Warren raising their family and creating a home that had an open door to all, and many neighbors, friends, family and even a few whom they did not know were welcome. He was very involved in the community throughout his life serving as a scout leader, on town council, helping build the golf course including designing the clubhouse and a founding member of the local Lions club.
Dad was a skilled handyman, woodworker and painter and enjoyed airshows, history, golf, travelling and spending many summers camping and later at the family cottage at Sugar Point. Nothing brought him more joy than his grandchildren. Watching them grow up and attending their activities and sports he was exceptionally proud of all of their achievements.
The family would like to thank Dr. Dawe and staff at CancerCare Manitoba and the many nurses and health care aides at Grace Hospital that cared for him during his final days.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba or a charity of one’s choice.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. at Prairie Spirit United Church, 207 Thompson Drive, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
