Gary W. "Brush" Hagen

Last time l saw you, you were at Main Street Saloon playing pool and getting some you time in. I'm glad we got to talk. I have had the best uncles in the world and I just wanted to thank you for being in my life!
I love you....

So sorry to here this, knew gary from ABC church. prayers for the family. Deidra Apollonio Krucker.

Praying for all of you, may God continue to comfort and strengthen you. Ken, Karen and Cyrus Brown

Dad, I'm so grateful that The Lord saw to it that you would be my earthly father. I'm so grateful for all the memories we have. I'm so grateful that you are no longer suffering not just from being sick, but being heartbroken after mama's passing. God, I know that hurt you deeply. I'm so glad that death isn't the end for us, but it's actually the beginning for our eternity with our Heavenly Father, Creator and God. We were your answered prayer. Literally. We would not be here if it wasn't for your prayers that you and mama would have children after several tries. That's God's mercy and Divine plan! I love you dad. I'm so sorry it had to be this way. But I trust Jesus. No matter what. His plans are good. We will meet again in glory! Until then, love you for eternity - Butterball Turkey (as you loved to call me)

Had the pleasure of working with Gary on several projects. Two specialties come to mind. The first is a mural my father Alan requested to be painted in a windowless office. Let's say it transformed the space to an oasis. The second commission is a restoration of a "ghosted" image on an historic building, the Selle Generator Works in Akron. Gary showed me a quick sketch of his plan he had drawn on a scrap of paper. We were standing in the parking lot looking at the high gable end of a four story building. Gary hopped in a lift and brought it to life. Amazing God given talent. May you rest in peace with the Lord Gary.

When we were younger his family lived across the street from my grandma. Most memories I have of him,he painted a scroll for the holidays for the Archwood bar,my in-laws owned it then. Great guy. RIP Gary. Rity

We have been friends in Christ for 40 years. He worked with me building the sets for a children's play at churxh

Your heart soon will be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I should've visited you while I had the chance, Uncle Gary. It breaks my heart to know that you've passed on! But, at least you're in heaven now and that's all that matters.

I should've visited you in the nursing home while I had the chance, Uncle Gary. It breaks my heart that you've passed on! But, at least you're in heaven now and that's all that matters. May your soul rest in peace

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I loved the Bible study that Gary lead at hope cafe. It was such a good group. Gary has been a big part of Tom´s and my walk with Christ. We miss him now, but will see him in glory

Dear Marie, Dan and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. I'm sure heaven is more beautiful with him there. God Bless You my sweet friend.

I am so glad I was able to kidnap you from the hospital a few times so we could go out. I will love and miss you.
