Mesa, AZ
Megan Diane Vogan, 23, returned to her Heavenly Home on March 27th 2023. Having battled autism, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions since birth, her perfect spirit ended her union with her not so perfect body while surrounded by her loving parents, Jeff and Amy (Caldwell) Vogan, and her siblings, Whitney Miller, (Kyle Miller), Taylor Vogan (Bekah Vogan), Jordan Vogan (Jacqueline Vogan), and Hannah Skinner (Brett Skinner). While unexpected, Megan’s passing was not a surprise after spending multiple weeks in the ICU as doctors exhausted every option possible to restore her health.
Megan was born on April 8, 1999 in Mesa, Arizona. She had many special needs and had many special caregivers in her life far beyond her immediate family. She attended and graduated from Chrysalis Academy in Scottsdale, AZ. She was able to touch many lives as she loved and was loved by many teachers, caregivers, habilitation workers, therapists, and friends. Megan greatly enjoyed music, had perfect pitch, and loved to rock in her chair, bounce on the trampoline, swing at the park, and go on car rides. She spent countless hours playing on her iPad, sorting cards, and ripping pages out of phone books. She enjoyed consuming Coke, trail mix, and cheese and loved to laugh. Her belly laugh was as infectious as her smile. Megan’s vocabulary was very limited, but her facial expressions could communicate more than words could say. Unlike many with autism, Megan loved to hug and be hugged. One had to be careful, though, as she liked to poke eyes, too. Maybe because eyes are the windows to one’s soul and she wanted to “touch you”.
She is preceded in death by her grandpa, Paul Vogan, and her grandma, Diane Caldwell. She is survived by her parents, siblings, 12 nieces and nephews: Charli, Rosie, Kyson, Annie and Weston Miller, Jace and Mack Vogan, Stella, Sunny, and Sylvie Vogan, and Josie and Lincoln Skinner; grandmother Sharon (Vogan) Nebeker, grandfather Glenn Caldwell, several uncles, aunts, and cousins, Princeton Group Home manager, Amal, the staff, and her housemate, Juliet. Also, a long list of caregivers (too many to name individually) who have become part of the Vogan family. Thank you for your selfless service.

Aw Megan. Condolences for the loss for the family and happy 24th birthday Megan soon. Hope you can do all you want to for your birthday where you are 🥳 💜
I will miss her so much. Her smile, laugh, giggle and her coming to visit me. I’ll miss her sweet smile when I would go visit her at home. She stole my heart the first day I met her when I helped her move into Princeton. She touched many hearts and I will forever miss her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family.
Rest in peace sweet girl! This whole family is in my thoughts and prayers! 🫶🏼
Jacob and I loved our phone book deliveries to Megan, her face lit up so! Oh the stories I’m sure she’s sharing now! So much love to you all.
Our condolences, I did not know Meghan, but Hannah, knowing how you cared about your sister told me all I needed to know. She’s dancing and happy in her pureness with Jesus.
My deepest condolences to the Vogan family. I know god welcomed Megan with open arms, and I know she’s now watching over her family.
Amy I am sending love and hugs. I know how painful it is to not be able to hold her in your arms. You have a loving little ministering angel to watch over you and your family . We sure love our sweet ministering angel also. Love you.
My dearest Amy, your angel Megan was so blessed to have come to your family and your home. So much love surrounded her. We know that Megan is a celestial spirit…and you have been a celestial Mom, always devoted to her care. I’m so fortunate to have known you both.
I’m so sorry for your loss! She is so beautiful and so blessed to have such awesome parents! I can’t imagine the pain and loss you must feel losing your daughter. Sending lots of hugs and prayers for peace at this difficult time.

Amy, Jeff & the whole Vogan family,
The world was truly blessed with an angel “Megan”!
One of the things that I admire the most about Megan was that the fact that she was so unapologetically happy, and full of bliss. Megan’s happiness was very contagious and you could not be around her more than one minute and not be smiling and laughing just like how she smiled and laughed every day. My heart goes out to everyone that Megan know, because we were all truly lucky to have known a light like Megan Vogan!
Rest in Peace My Friend!
Aka: Little BooBoo! ❤️
