TwitterntSa"Quit" was never in the vocabulary of the Rev. Mr. Thomas Everett Hogue, who was ordained by the Church of God, (Anderson, Ind.) in 1938. He served 11 different pastorates including two stints at Portageville, Mo., 1941-1943 and 1946-1953.
His other Church of God pastorates began with Bonnie, Ill., 1938-39; then to Anderson College, Anderson, Ind., 1939 and 1940, for two full years of theological education. He then pastored in Portageville; Flora, Ill.; Portageville; West Frankfort, Ill.; Crossett, Ark.; Memphis, Tenn.; Willshire, Ohio; Hartselle, Ala.; Blacksburg, Va.; with his closing years of pastoral ministry at Scott Depot from 1975-1995.
I had the privilege of preaching in his church in Crossett, Ark., for one week. He was a cherished and beloved friend. Thousands of people knew and loved him because of his kind and gentle ways.
Both Everett and his brother, Grady, were talented musicians. He touched the hearts and minds of others by his tenderness and compassion. He was a leader in the states where he pastored and was widely known across the nation for his leadership and preaching abilities.
When he was 19 years old, he attended a meeting at the Church of God at Sikeston, Mo., in 1930. The convicting power of God came to his heart and mind in convincing ways under the preaching of the evangelist, James T. Hooten, of Baxter, Tenn. After the sermon, the congregation sang B. E. Warren's song, "Will You Come?" When he began to sing verse two, he could no longer resist the power of God tugging at his heart. He knelt at the altar and asked God to forgive him and asked Jesus Christ to become his Savior and Lord.
Rev. Terry Hogue, speaking at his father's funeral, said, "When a man gives his life to God, it changes the destiny of many people." This was true for the thousands touched by the ministry of Pastor Hogue. Both Terry and Oliver spoke of their father's wisdom, love and solid example.
When he was 20 years old, he came riding up on his horse and saw a beautiful and talented young girl who was only 12 years old. He boldly announced, "I am going to marry you," and he did, six years later. Opal Oliver became the wife of 26- year-old Everett Hogue and they lived together for the next 70 years. They were the parents of three Church of God preacher sons, Oliver, Terry and Ronald. Their youngest son, Gavin, is a medical doctor and an accomplished musician. Their son, Ronnie, preceded his dad into the eternal presence of God.
Everett Hogue came from a family of 14 children and was the first of his family to complete high school and attend college. He set the example for his sons, whose careers far exceeded the normal college degree. His young wife, Opal, helped him earn his high school diploma and then faithfully stood by him as he attended college. She was a talented pianist, so there was always good music in the home and church.
I am deeply grateful for the privilege of knowing Everett and Opal for more than 55 years. Their influence for the cause of Christ has been strongly felt in the Church of God and other Christian fellowships for over 70 years. A Christian gentleman of his stature is a gift from God.

Obituary: Oliver Carter Hogue

Oliver Carter Hogue, 82, of Temple, Texas, passed away January 2, 2021. He was born July 8, 1938, in West Frankfurt, Illinois, to the Reverend Thomas Everett and Opal (Oliver) Hogue.

Oliver grew up in the Church of God of Anderson, Indiana, and began preaching and singing in his parents’ church at the age of 15. He attended seminary at Anderson College in Anderson, Indiana. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Ministry, with continuing education in Psychology, Counseling, and Christian History. Oliver became an ordained minister in 1965, pastoring in St. Paris, Ohio and Scott Depot, West Virginia in the early years. During his years of ministry, in Scott Depot West Virginia, he founded Teays Valley Child Development Center in 1974 and Teays Valley Christian School in 1979. He spent his latter years as pastor of Texas Christ Fellowship in Central Texas.

Oliver was known as Pastor Hogue and was well known for his relationship with the Jewish Community, leading over thirty-three trips to Israel and other countries. In July of 1982, Oliver was invited to the United States Senate by then Senator Robert Byrd to be the Chaplain of the Day, and he offered the opening prayer.

He was preceded in death by his parents Everett and Opal Hogue; brother, the Reverend Ronald Hogue; daughter Anne, and granddaughter Mandy Nicole. He is survived by his beloved wife Kathy; brother, the Reverend Terry Hogue and wife Kathy; brother Dr. Gavin Hogue; sister-in-law Peggy Hogue; son Bryan; daughter Naomi and husband Richard; stepson Brandon and wife, Tasha; grandchildren Bryan Carter, Sharon Catherine, Tyler Neal, Caleb Brandon, Lilian Marie, and five great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his beloved adopted grandchildren, Lydia, Lindsey, Mark, and Luke.

His goal in life was to seek the will of God and do it wholeheartedly. He loved the Lord with all his heart, and he loved his neighbor as himself. He became known and loved by his neighbors wherever he lived, and was even willing to purchase rocks from the neighborhood children so they could buy ice cream. He was a passionate model railroad hobbyist, having acquired his first toy train as a young child. His hobby took him all over the country attending train shows and generating close friendships.

A memorial service will be held on January 24, 2021, 10:00 a.m., at Central Texas Home Builders Association, 445 East Central Texas Expressway, Harker Heights, Texas, 76548.
