Gabriel Thomas Hagan, beloved son, brother, and treasured friend, entered the arms of Jesus on
December 8th, 2025, after a courageous and grace-filled battle, surrounded by immeasurable love.
Though his time on earth was far too short, Gabriel lived with a depth of strength, faith, and gentleness
that far exceeded his years.

Born with a heart uniquely attuned to others, Gabriel carried a quiet wisdom and softness that touched
everyone he encountered. He told the truth with love. He loved adventures and food—often the two
beautifully tied together—and he loved his friends like family and loved his family like his best friends.
He also loved cheering for his favorite football team, The Real Life Raptors, with unwavering
enthusiasm. His spirit disarmed even the hardest days, and his rare, radiant smile was a gift to all who
were blessed to see it.

Gabriel spent his days wrapped in the love of his family, who cherished every breath, every whisper,
every moment with him. In his final season, he taught everyone around him what courage truly is and
what faith looks like when tested.

He loved deeply and was deeply loved.

Gabriel is survived by his devoted mother, Cara Ann Hagan; his father, William Hagan; his brother
Elijah; his sister Mia; and a family and community whose lives are forever changed because he lived.
His legacy is not measured in years but in impact—quiet, profound, and eternal. His life reminds us that
heaven is near, that miracles take many forms, and that love outlasts everything.

The family will receive friends Sunday, December 14, 2025, from 5pm until 7pm at Becker Funeral Home.  A Service celebrating Gabe's life will begin at 7pm. A meal, featuring some of Gabe's favorites, will start immediately following the service.

Please, we kindly ask that instead of sending flowers or plants, those who feel led would consider
making a donation to the Ronald McDonald House in Gabriel's memory. Your generosity will bless
other families walking difficult medical journeys, just as this organization once supported ours.
