Blake Hagman

Blake was a tremendous coach, teacher, administrator and friend. He will be truly mess.

Connie , so very sorry to hear of your loss. Hugs and prayers to you and the family,

Our most sincere condolences to Blake's family. He was so dedicated to his work as the A.D. and teacher at K Central. We will remember Blake as a good man, well known and respected. Our kids benefitted from his influences and officiating off and on the fields and volleyball courts. A dedicated life full of Kids: You will be missed, Blake.

My Deepest Sympathy to All His Family and Friends Blake Was at At Kalamazoo Central when I Did my Student Teaching During the Fall of `68 But We Spent Wonderful Times Together as AD´s and As Track Officials over The Last 50 Years ! I Event Came into His Officials Class at WMU ( My Alma mater) Also and Spoke On Officiating The Field Events .... He Was A Dear Friend and Colleague .... I Will Miss His Contagious Smile , Wit and Knowledge ... A Wonderful Human Being

I have known Blake for many years as I worked security for Kalamazoo Central as a Off-duty Police officer. Blake was quite a man and a good person. I always enjoyed our conversations about sports. He was an Icon as far as sports goes in this community. Blake helped forge lots of firsts in that endeavor. Later he married Connie one of my high school classmates. Rest in Peace Blake! You will be missed!

Mr. Hagman was one of the finest teachers and excellent examples of what it means to be a gentleman I had in high school. I especially remember his patience with students and an excellent sense of humor which set him apart. My respect for him was enormous. It was a pleasure to have been one of his students. He was much bigger than all his accolades and awards.
