Growing up he loved teaching all of us wrestling moves.Bobby was a hell of a wrestler.Not sure if he was doing it to actually teach us or he was enjoying torturing us.From Michael to Greg though it made all of us younger brothers better wrestlers.
Bobby was the quiet one among the Hagan boys. And he was, indeed, quite the wrestler. My strongest memory is a sad on and that is was how absolutely devastated he was at his dad ‘s viewing. Maybe he never really got over the loss. Now Bobby’s pain is no more. On angel’s wings, dear cuz. Julie
He was showing Sean his moves when he lived with us after being in the hospital for his lungs. Sean had just started wrestling and Bobby was happy to show off what he still had!
Bobby was a nice guy , bless his heart. I got to know him from Arby’s when he worked there in highschool. And also in Wisconsin , I helped getting him places. Paul n Cindy Williams
Our love and prayers go out to Shay and Jeff and the rest of the family. Duke and Mickey
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I’m reaching out with some encouragement as I too have lost many loved ones in death. One thing that has helped me to cope many times is a promise made by Jesus Christ. He talked about a resurrection of the dead in a Paradise Earth where all of us will see our loved ones again! Jesus promises in John 5:28, 29: “All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Another comforting Scripture, one of my personal favorites, is Revelation 21:4. It speaks of world conditions under God’s Kingdom rule. It says: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” A most reassuring promise indeed! I hope these verses comfort you as they have comforted me. My heart and prayers go out to you. Below is a link to a very encouraging Scripture-based brochure entitled, When Someone You Love Dies. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/when-someone-dies/ Deepest Sympathies, Izzy
One of my fond memories is Clear Lake. I won’t elaborate too much but Bobby, Michael and John Hagan received a lecture from Bob and Jim when they arrived back from their Michigan outing. Bobby stood there and took all of the blame. Leave it to Bobby to be the protector, as he always has been ߒ•. Another guardian angel in heaven to watch over us. Bobby will be missed and left us with many fond memories.
I am truly sorry for your loss. During such difficult times God is close to us as a source of comfort (Psalm 34:18). May you find strength and peace through reliance on him in prayer and his word the Bible.
I am going to miss your texts “demanding” chicken salad. I will never make chicken salad again, without a tear filling my eyes. Thank you for being there for me through my trial in life. I miss you! Xoxo Chick
Just a comforting thought. ” And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore” (Revelation 21:4).
