Joseph “Hoagy” Matthew Perea-Hoagland, 37, passed away in Alamosa, Colorado on January 16, 2017. He was born to William Hoagland Jr. and Brenda Perea on August 15, 1979 in Alamosa, Colorado.
Joseph was born and raised in the San Luis Valley and it showed through in his hobbies. He loved being outside hunting or fishing, just exploring the land and coming closer to nature. There was nothing he enjoyed more after a long day hunting than coming home and having a nice juicy hamburger while enjoying his family and making everyone laugh with his wonderful sense of humor.
The one thing joseph was more proud of than anything was his service to his country. He was a very proud member of the United State Army and served for many years there as a Military Police Officer. Ever since he was a small child he would tell anyone that would listen that when he grew up he was going to be either a police officer or a fireman. When a position opened as a Military Policeman he jumped at the chance. Joseph loved his family and friends deeply and left an everlasting impression on many people. He will be missed greatly by those who loved him.
