Daniel Arthur Hoagland, MD, 54, of Lebanon, a family physician at Sweet Home Family Medicine, died Monday, Aug. 11, in an accident at a working ranch in Utah. He was there on vacation with his family.
Dr. Hoagland was born Sept. 23, 1953 in Bakersfield, Calif., to Robert Merlin Hoagland and Carol Ardalee Elledge Hoagland. He graduated from La Canada High School in La Canada Flintridge, Calif., in 1971, then earned his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Pomona College in Pomona, Calif., in 1975.
He went on to UCLA School of Medicine, where he earned his MD in 1979.
Following a three-year residency at UCLA Medical Center, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force for five years. He served at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas and in England, rising to the rank of major.
After his discharge, Dr. Hoagland joined the Scripps Clinic in Rancho San Diego, Calif. in 1987 as a clinic physician. He moved to Cottage Grove in 1999 and joined Creswell Family Practice. In 2007 he moved to the mid-valley and joined Sweet Home Family Medicine.
Dr. Hoagland married Linnea Lagerquist in 1976. Together, they had two daughters, Karen and Erika. The couple later divorced, and in 1994 he married Elizabeth Ann Kull – who is known by her friends as Ann.
Away from the office, he loved to play the piano and trumpet. He also enjoyed raising dogs and horses with his wife, hiking, hunting for waterfalls, reading, traveling and spending time with his family. He was known as a warm-hearted person with a dry sense of humor.
Dr. Hoagland is survived by his wife Ann; daughters Karen in Lebanon and Erika in San Diego, Calif.; stepson David Sygrove in Creswell; two grandchildren; mother Carol Ardalee Hoagland of Arroyo Grande, Calif., brothers Jim Hoagland of Arroyo Grande and Paul Hoagland of Placerville, Calif.; and sister Kathy Goodwin of Auburn, Wash.
