MCAA Mourns the Passing of Industry Leader Jeffrey L. Vogt

September 15, 2025

MCAA is saddened by the loss of Jeffrey Lee Vogt, President of Dynamic Systems, Inc. He died peacefully on September 11, 2025 after an unexpected battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family and lifelong friends. Our thoughts are with Lyn, Harrison, Hannah, Riley, and Maddie and the extended Vogt family during this difficult time.

Born on September 1, 1971, in Yoakum, Texas, Jeff grew up with strong values that guided him throughout his life—faith, loyalty, hard work, generosity, and a deep love of the outdoors. At Yoakum High School, he excelled both academically and athletically, serving as Class President, playing Varsity Basketball, graduating as Salutatorian, and earning the title of “Most Likely to Succeed”—a prediction he more than fulfilled.

A proud Aggie, Jeff graduated from Texas A&M University in 1994 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. At just 22, he began his lifelong career at Dynamic Systems, Inc., where his determination, humble nature, and brilliance carried him from Project Manager to President. His belief that “a job worth doing is a job worth doing right” was more than a motto—it was the backbone of his professional and personal life.

Jeff found his greatest fulfillment in his family. He was an adoring husband to his wife, Lyn, and they shared a beautiful, laughter-filled life. He was a devoted father to his four children—Harrison, Hannah, Riley, and Maddie—and he found great joy in time spent with each of them. Whether waking them early with his playful clapping, making them smile with his dance moves, cheerfully building treehouses, patiently teaching archery and hunting, or simply just checking in, Jeff was always present and was incredibly proud of his kids. He provided his entire family with an unwavering sense of safety, encouragement, and togetherness.

A lifelong outdoorsman, Jeff’s love of hunting began as a boy exploring the land in Bellville, Sweet Home, and Plum. That passion grew into a lifetime of teaching others about the outdoors and creating lasting family traditions in Junction, a gathering place he built to ensure that his entire family and friends always had a place to be together.

Though incredibly accomplished, Jeff held humility in equal measure. He brought the same care to mowing his lawn as he brought to leading his company, and his quick wit, laughter, and silly dance moves will be remembered as fondly as his competitive nature and drive.

Jeff Vogt was, above all, a good man.

He is survived by his wife, Linda “Lyn” Vogt; his son Harrison; his daughters, Hannah Vogt Beard (Andrew), Riley Vogt, and Madison “Maddie” Vogt; his parents, Dorothy “Dotty” and Harry Lee Vogt; his brother, Matthew Vogt (Maria), and their children Mason, Miller, Miles, and Mateo; his sister, Amy Swaney (Ben), and their children Bailey and Benjamin. He also leaves behind countless colleagues, hunting partners, and many cherished friends—including Carl, Kevin, Russell, and John—who walked beside him throughout his life.

A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at Austin Ridge Bible Church, 9300 Bee Cave Rd., Austin, Texas with a reception to follow at Austin Country Club.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donating to the Vogt Family Endowed Scholarship for Texas A&M Mechanical Engineering students. Jeff and Lyn established this scholarship to support hardworking students who may not fit the mold of the “perfect” scholar but who embody the values of determination and character that defined Jeff’s own journey.
