Richard Hagen

Richard Hagen (Rick), a man with a desire to live his life to the fullest, was born on June 12, 1951, in Breckenridge, Minnesota to his parents Muriel and Kenneth Hagen. He eventually made his way south and settled into the Arizona desert life, where he lived for 30+ years. Rick passed away unexpectedly while visiting family in the Pacific Northwest on June 11, 2023, a day shy of his 72nd birthday. Known for his gregarious nature, profound generosity, and a sense of humor that could light up any room, Rick’s impact on those around him was meaningful and lasting.

Rick is survived by his son, Eric Hagen, his daughters Laura Hagen, April Philip, Lynn Weech, and Kim Hutchinson, and his 13 grandchildren, as well as his three brothers Duaine, Ron, and Gary Hagen. His absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, but the memories he created will be a constant presence in their lives.

Rick was a man with a true desire to live life to the fullest and never one to sit still. He was a prolific traveller and spent much of his time on international excursions or visiting family across the US. When not gallivanting around the globe, if Rick was not saddled up to a poker table, he could usually be found on a golf course, softball field, ski slope, hiking trail, or partaking in some sort of adrenaline boosting adventure.

Rick's life will be celebrated on December 2, 2023, at 2:00 PM at Robson Ranch, a community in which he thrived and loved. In the spirit of his generous nature, instead of flowers, a fund has been established to support "From Houses to Homes-Guatemala", a cause dedicated to improving the living conditions of highland communities in Guatemala that Rick passionately supported.

Rick Hagen will be remembered for the joy he brought to this world, the help he extended to those who needed it, and the laughter he shared with everyone. His absence will be deeply felt, but his legacy will live on.
