William Edwin "Ed" Hogan

William Edwin “Ed” Hogan March 18, 1946 – January 30, 2023 William Edwin “Ed” Hogan, of Parrottsville, was born March 18, 1946 to Blanche Elizabeth Hogan and William David “W. D.” Hogan. A lifelong resident of Cocke County, Ed attended Parrottsville High School where he played varsity basketball. He earned a Masters of Mathematics from East Tennessee State University and was a teacher and coach at Parrottsville High School and then a teacher at Cocke County High School until his retirement in 2004. Ed was also a skilled craftsman, repairman, and jack of all trades; he pursued summer construction work for the schools, improved homes, helped members of the community with projects of all kinds, and was always available to a friend in need of a helping hand. He kept up family agricultural traditions in cattle, tomato, and tobacco farming; among his many talents of rural living, he was a gifted canner. Ed cared about the value of play and spirited competition. Some will remember him as a basketball player or a teacher and coach. His sense of humor and storytelling gifts were legendary. Most of all, he was a devoted father, a source of wisdom and love for his family. He was taken suddenly and will be forever missed. He is preceded in death by an infant son, ex-wife Betty Ann Boyd, sister Nancy Abel, and his parents and grandparents. He is survived by his daughter Angie Renee Hogan (Kevin McFadden), son Kent Win Hogan (Whitney), and grandson Carter Win Hogan; his Labrador Retriever Winnie; brother David Miller Hogan (Betty); in-laws Linda Wice (Jason), Don Shell (Debbie); nephews Allen Cowan, Chris Cowan, Tommy Hogan, Garrett Shell, and Joshua Wice; and many, many friends. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, February 8, from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m., followed immediately by a memorial service, at Manes Funeral Home. Ed was known and cherished by many, and the family hopes that others will join them in celebrating his life. If you would like to share a memory during the service, please contact the family by phone at 423-237-8522 or by email at arh2h@virginia.edu. In lieu of flowers, they ask that you submit your favorite story about Ed to the online guest book.
