Robert Hagan Jr.

Robert Hagan Jr., 66, of Scott City died Saturday, Oct. 2, 2021, at the Chaffee Nursing Center in Chaffee, Missouri.

He was born Feb. 13, 1955, in Cape Girardeau to Robert and Helen Crader Hagan Sr.

Robert was a machine operator for Scott County, from which he retired. He enjoyed his position with the county, which had to do with his raising on the family farm. Also, he enjoyed his time with his fellow employees. He never met a stranger! He was in his element while visiting with anyone, especially telling farm stories and a quick joke. His jokes were a given, and he enjoyed telling his great-nieces and -nephews a new one on his weekend visits.

He was a member of the Eisleben Lutheran Church in Scott City. He may not have been able to physically attend services, but he had great faith in the Lord and what he would be granted after he was gone.

He is survived by three sisters, Darlene (Terry) Seyer, Ruth (Terry) Meier and Sherry (Omar) Haidar.

Robert did not have any children, but definitely was involved in the raising of his nieces and nephews. He, along with his parents, made a loving impact on them during their childhood and adulthood as well. The family was very blessed to have had them in their lives.

Robert is survived by five nieces and two nephews. Beyond them, he blessed their spouses by becoming that incredible uncle to them as well. Their children also were able to be blessed with memories of "Uncle Bobby," and their Grandma and Grandpa Hagan. As of just a few years ago, Robert was known for bringing each one of them cookies every Sunday. Those Sundays were hardly ever skipped, and the arrival time was always the same, never altering. Also surviving are four great-nieces and four great-nephews.

He will be greatly missed.

Robert was preceded in death by both his parents, Robert Sr. and Helen. By all who knew Robert and the family, this reunion was grand.

Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Eisleben Lutheran Church in Scott City.

Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the church with the Rev. Barry Pfanstiel officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Scott City is in charge of arrangements.
