Remembering Michael-Patrick

You may or may not have met Michael-Patrick Hogue personally, but if you participated in one of the Conquer the Bridge races, you know what a great service he provided to both those who participated and to the San Pedro community.

Sadly, Michael-Patrick Hogue passed away on Christmas Eve night, 2023. I have done Michael-Patrick’s website for years and even though we never met in person, we became friends. The kind of friends who when they finally do meet, bear hugs are called for.

I will now have to give that bear hug to his son, Derek Hogue, who has been deeply involved in the Conquer the Bridge races alongside his father.

Please say a silent Thank you, Michael for all the hard work, generosity and kindness he showed to all those who Conquered the Bridge.

Michael-Patrick, you will be missed terribly. Until we race again…
