Darwyn Farrell Pogue

On August 1, 2017, Darwyn F. Pogue slipped the surly bonds of Earth and took flight into his beloved
skies.
Darwyn was born in Quanah TX on October 11, 1932. He spent most of his youth rambling around North
Central Texas while helping his dad in the family’s sheet metal shop. Darwyn proudly served in the USAF,
and his love of aviation continued into his civilian life. He owned two airplanes, and reveled in spending
his free time flying in air shows with his "Rose Parakeet" biplane.
Darwyn graduated from Texas Midwestern University with a degree in geology before moving to New Mexico,
where he worked for many years with the BLM as a tireless advocate for Native American land rights.
In 1967 ,Darwyn married the love of his life, Miss Catherine Farrelly, and they settled in Santa Fe to raise their
family under the warm embrace of the New Mexico sun.
Darwyn is survived by his wife of fifty years Cathy Pogue of Santa Fe NM; son Douglas Pogue (Kathy) of
Wylie TX; daughters Regina Bryant (Bill) and Elizabeth Pogue of Santa Fe NM; beloved grandchildren
Jason and Claire of Santa Fe NM; sisters Diana Huffaker (Roger) of Richmond TX, Carolyn Walls (Chuck)
of San Antonio TX, and Sylvia Overton (Jerry) of Graham TX; nephews Charles and Bill Walls of San
Antonio TX, and Ron Huffaker (Rani) of Missouri City TX; and niece Rhonda Adams (Darryl) of Frisco TX.
Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. Friday, August 18th, at San Isidro in the "little church", with a
eulogy fifteen minutes prior to mass. Internment with full military honors will follow at the Santa Fe
National Cemetery.
Darwyn embraced all things aviation throughout his life, and now he is flying to new heights so that he
may put out his hand and touch the face of God.
