We are sorry for your loss. Dr. Hagstrom will always be remembered by us for what he did for our family. Our prayers are with you all.

It was during the summer of 1972 that my husband and I met for the first time at a Sunday evening Bible Study at the home of Evie and Dr. Hagstrom. We got married one year later, and nearly 34 years later have three grown children. We are grateful for this ministry they have shared through our lives and others.
Our love and prayers for strength go out to their children during this exceedingly great loss.

To the Hagstrom Family:
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I became acquainted the the Hagstroms through Doc's Young Life group which he counciled during the late 60's and early 70's here in Lavina. His influence and teachings were powerful tools to our teen-agers and I am forever grateful to both Doc and Evie and their family for their friendship.
Dr. Hagstrom spent his life ministering to folks all over the world, saving both bodies and souls

As you know, Bob was my close and dear friend. I hardly know where or how to start in saying how he has impacted my life. For all of the years the six of us met for weekly breakfasts to talk about our walk with our Lord Bob was the steady prod to look deeper. In every letter he sent since my moving from Billings he challenged me to support another great work someone was carrying on. He and Evy were a great image of what giving was all about. My memories of all he taught us by example are...

Doc and Evie, together in paradise... What a beautiful picture. Our loss is certainly their gain.

Although I only met Doc and Evie briefly, my life has been significantly altered because of their obedience to God's call. In my 8 years as a follower of Christ many have poured into my life... Nelson's, McRae's, Lutton's, Hagstrom's, and countless others. A common thread through all of them is Doc Hagstrom. As I told Fred earlier, Doc poured into his life and he poured into mine. ...

Thanks, Doc & Evie, for living out your love for Jesus in front of whomever crossed your paths. Brenda and I will be forever grateful for the example you showed us. The mystery of this walk with God became less confusing because of your mentorship to us over the last 35 to 40 years. Just watching you and your children has encouraged us that life is supposed to be lived this way.
Bless you all. We love you.

Just out of college in 1967 I was teaching in Glendive and our daughter was diagnosed with a kidney problem We were refered to Doc and over several surgeries Doc led us to Christ through YL leadership. Now with4 children and 20 grandchildren living for the Lord this legacy started with his witness.

Dr. Hagstrom was my doctor as a young girl. He removed one of my 3 kidneys in 1968. This was just one of a few procedures he did while I was a young girl. He prayed before each operation and led my parents to Jesus Christ. He is, and always will be, a wonderful inspiration to me and all of my family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of your families!
