L. Brent Hoggan, a distinguished partner at Olson & Hoggan, passed away on January 21, 2023. A graduate of the University of Utah Law School in 1960, Brent was admitted to the bar that same year and began his legal career in Salt Lake City. In 1964, he joined Charles P. Olson in Logan, Utah, to establish the renowned law firm Olson & Hoggan.

Over a remarkable six-decade career, Brent exemplified dedication, integrity, and sound judgment. He was not only an accomplished attorney but also a respected community leader, serving on numerous boards and commissions, including the Utah Board of Regents and the Cache County Bar Association. Deeply committed to his community, Brent played an active role in local government and church initiatives.

In 2002, Brent was honored with the Distinguished Lawyer Award from the Utah State Bar Association, recognizing his profound contributions to the legal profession. He remained passionately involved in the practice of law until shortly before his passing.

Brent’s enduring legacy of excellence, service, and leadership will be profoundly missed by his colleagues, clients, and the community he served so faithfully.

Bruce L. Jorgensen, a distinguished attorney and cherished member of Olson & Hoggan LLC, passed away unexpectedly on July 6, 2016. A graduate of Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School, where he earned his degree with honors in 1977, Bruce began his remarkable legal career with the firm shortly after. Over the years, he became a highly respected authority in municipal law, providing invaluable counsel to numerous cities and towns across Northern Utah.

Bruce’s dedication to the legal profession extended beyond his practice. He served as president of the Cache County Bar Association and was an active member of the Utah State University Alumni Board and Board of Trustees. His expertise spanned a wide range of legal fields, including estate planning, probate, real estate, and commercial law, where his knowledge and commitment left a lasting impact.

Bruce is survived by his devoted wife, Risa, their five children, and eight beloved grandchildren. His passing leaves a profound void, not only within the Olson & Hoggan family but also across the Northern Utah legal community, where he was admired and respected by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
