David Brent Pogue, 54, passed away peacefully at his home in Corona Del Mar, California on July 28, 2019. Brent was born December 19, 1964 to Jean and Mack Pogue in Dallas, Texas. He attended Highland Park High School, Class of 1983 and proudly graduated with a Bachelors Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1987, where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Brent went to New York City and worked with Goldman Sachs for 3 years. Next, he went to work for Lincoln Property Company in NYC, Chicago, Dallas, then Southern California. Brent fell in love with Southern California and established his home in Corona Del Mar.
Brent loved athletic sports, cheering on his Texas Longhorns, working out, hiking, running marathons & triathlons and ocean swims. Throughout his life, he enjoyed and treasured traveling the world with his family and friends.
Ultimately, Brent's true passion and greatest legacy will out live us all. As David Bowers, president of Stack's Bowers of New York City stated, "Starting out as a teenager and with the guidance of his father Mack, Brent with connoisseurship, knowledge and persistence, built the finest-ever collection of early American federal coinage of the early years. No other private or museum coin collection, past or present, has come even close to his achievement."
Brent's love, humor, kindness and generosity will be dearly missed by all that loved and knew him.
He is survived by his parents Mack and Jean Pogue; his brothers, Blake Pogue, wife Anne; Blair Pogue, wife Cristin; as well as his loving dog Riley. He was beloved by his nieces and nephews, Britt, Mack, Bryson, Bailey, Jake, Tucker, Reagan, Ethan and Riley; uncles, Jack Pogue and Mike McMullan and numerous cousins. He was predeceased by aunt & uncle, Lou Jane and Mike Umphress. Honorary pallbearers are Alan Shipman, Rick Kight, Garrett House, Mike Melody and Paul Brindley.
