former classmate Wichita Falls,Tx

Mark Hager was my friend. He was my "Best Man". He was my brother, and I loved him. Whenever I tell stories to strangers of my days in Wichita Falls, TX I always refer to Mark with his earned title, "My best friend from High school". Our paths took different courses and distance and decades separated us, but nothing will diminish my love or memory of the man that was my friend. I am a better person for having known Mark and called him friend and when I think of him, which I will often do,

I will smile.

To Mark's family and friends please accept my deepest sympathy and heartfelt sorrow. I feel your loss.

We will love and miss you forever, Dad.

You are constantly on my mind. I miss you so much Dr Hager, things just are not the same without you..You were one of a kind, no one will ever be able to compare to you. You were a true blessing to have known. I was very blessed to know you and to be one of your many friends... I cant even explain how much you will be missed, everything about you was just amazing. I find comfort knowing that you continue to love and guide us from Heaven. Even though you are not here physically you are here with us in spirit. Love you and Miss you so Much.. You, your family, and all of us who are moarning you loss are in my prayers... ~A Friend~

Dr. Hager was the best when we had our daughter.I had very high blood pressure,but he was confident everything would be ok.Our daughter that he delivered was also fortunate to have him deliver her son. He had to do an emergency c-section as babys heart rae was going down,but we were never afraid...He was the best....prayers to the fam.

Mark and I grew up together in Wichita Falls abd he was my very best friend for many years. We shared January birthdays and had s lot of fun during that time. His mom was like another mother to me. Although we had not seen each other in several years, I will miss him. My prayers are with his family.

I have seen Dr. Hager for over 30 years. Every year we would talk about our anniversary and laugh because we were the longest "relationship" we both had had ... He was kind, gentle and as those who have stated before me was quite the joker - which put you at ease. Having worked at the Women's Clinic for awhile in the early 1980's, I got to know him not just as a doctor, but as a friend. I know that all who used him as their doctor is suffering - I can not imagine what his family is going through that is why I am sending my sympathy, prayers and love to them all. God Bless You !!

I love and miss you so much.. It seems like an eternity since you've left this earth. until we meet again. I will always love you

i still think about you each and every day. things will just never be the same without you around. I pray that you are at peace and will continue to love us and take care of us from heaven. we miss you and will always love you so much dr hager.

I cant believe its been two weeks, i will never be the same without you, thank you for blessing all of us with your kindness, friendship, and love. I find comfort knowing that one day we will see you again. you will always always hold a special place in my heart.

Dos semanas han pasado y usted es todavía en mis sueños. Tengo que creer que eso es su manera de decirme ese su visto bueno. ... Mi mejor amigo. Yo no puedo comenzar a decirle cuánto yo le pierdo. Se siente como una eternidad. Mis días serán adelante un desafío pero sé que su amor eterno y apoyo me conseguiré por los días adelante. Nuestra amistad siempre tendrá un lugar especial en el corazón. Fuimos cada otros seguro. ..I tiene ha pedido mejor amigo entonces usted. Te quiero siempre y siempre, hasta que encontremos otra vez

Dr.Hager was a doctor, but made my family and I feel like were his fiends, too. Dr.Hager made us feel like we were his favorite patients. As I have read this guest book I quickly realized everyone was his favorite. That's amazing that any one man can create such strong and unbreakable bonds with their patients and still have so much room and energy to treat each and everyone like they are his family. Dr.Hager saw me for almost 28 years, saw me through 3 pregnancies, delivered 2 of my children (wasn't on call for the 1st),delivered 2 of my grandchildren and my niece. Saw my mother,sister,my daughter and myself as patients. Dr.Hager always listened intently and maybe what I was saying really wasn't so important, but he made me feel like if I said it, then it was important. My mother loved him like a son, and my daughter always looked up to him as a father figure, I saw him as a doctor I would trust with my life and a friend. It breaks my heart that I won't be able to be his patent now or be able to joke around with him. My family is still devastated over this loss. I feel so bad for Dr.Hagers' real family. I am so sorry that yall have had to go through this. This is my hug to each of you. May GOD bless this family with the strength and love to get through this and the knowledge that your son, husband and dad was so well respected and loved through several generations in my family and throughout this community. GOD BLESS.

I would like to express my condolences to Dr. Hager's family. He was a great man and doctor. Dr. Hager was my doctor for the last 10 years. He always made me feel confortable about the exams with his jokes and kind words. In the appointments he made you feel important and not just a dollar sign. I just saw him in Feb of this year for my exam and I was going through some troubles not to mention the female problems I was having. He took time to listen to me when I broke down and cried and he told me everything was going to be ok by just a hand on my shoulder and when I was ready for my procedure just let him know. Three years ago he did an emergency c-section because he felt like something was not right and he would feel better to get my son out. Thank God he did because my son would not be here today so I owe him so much for bringing two of my boys into this world. He will never know how much he touched so many people in this town. For his family I am so very sorry for your loss as a father and a husband but this comminity lost a great doctor and friend. You will forever be in my heart and memories. Thank you
RIP Dr. Hager till we will meet again.
A patient from Victoria Texas

It's hard to find the right words to tell you and your family how sorry we are for your loss. Dr. Hager will truly be missed. He touched so many lives and has helped so many people; me included. He's the reason I have my only child. He was my doctor for 16 years. I moved 6 hours away and my husband insisted that he still be my doctor. He was currently helping us conceive. He performed three of my surgeries. He always messed with my husband during our visits. He was a great man. My blessings go out to his family and friends. My family will pray for your comfort and peace. If we could give you hugs, we would.

Dr. Hager had such a nice bedside manner. He took time to listen to you and made you feel at ease. He will be missed by many friends, patients, and family. He touched my life by his kindness and he will be remembered by many. Memories of him will comfort you during this time.

Dr Hager,
I miss you so much, there is not one day I do not think of you. I am now a better person after knowing you, there is no way to ever fully explain how important you were to me. I will miss everything about you, thank you for allowing me to be your friend. It was a blessing to have known such a wonderful person. You are now sitting next to our lord and you are now my angel who i know will be with us each and every day until we meet again.May god bless your family, loved ones and all us who are grieving from your loss. may you rest in peace Dr Hager. Until we meet again

Dr. Hager was an incredible person. I was lucky to have him for a doctor. I was very lucky to be his paitent. He was always cheerful and postive. I have never seen a doctor so caring and 100% there for me and my baby. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. May God bless you all and give you peace through this time of grief.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Mark,

You're a true testament to the words

"it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go"

You touched many people and You'll be missed!

I will miss Mark because he was a "neighbor", not just someone that lived near me. He had a Charlois bull that liked to visit my cows. When I called Mark to let him know, he said he wouldn't charge me any breeding fees. We had a good laugh and then he asked if I could get him back in or did I want him to come out. He told me it wasn't even his bull, but he'd come if I needed him too. That is why the world and heaven are both better off for his presence.

To the Hager family, God Bless you now and in the days and years to come. Dr. Mark was a good man and a beautiful person, he will be missed and we as children of God know if we keep our hand in God's hand we will see him again. I was sadden to here Dr. Hager is no longer walking here with us and smiling at us but I know he is smilling down on us and protecting us because he is a angel now. We may not understand but we must trust that God knows and he will give us no more than we can bare. God Bless you and you will forever be in our prayers. He was the best doctor a person could wish for.

Dr. Hager was a WONDERFUL doctor. I was very blessed to have him deliver my son 2 years ago and he was trying to help us get pregnant again. I will miss him immensely..........

My thoughts and prayers are with the Hager family. Dr. Hager was with me through two pregnancies and delivered my oldest son. He wasn't on call when my youngest son was born, but he was there to see us bright and early that Monday morning. I remember him telling us that our oldest son's name was a bull rider's name and I was thinking -- No way!
Dr. Hager will be missed a lot and I was very blessed to have had such a special and caring person as my doctor for many years. His charming personality, jokes, and conversation put me at ease when it was time for that dreaded yearly exam.
There is a special place in Heaven for such a great man. God bless and may you find healing, comfort, and strength during this difficult time.

Dr. Hager will forever be missed but never forgotten. When thinking of Dr. Hager and smile appears on your face.
There are so many hugs, smiles, laughs and genuine friendly memories that come to mind. When seeing him come down the hall at North, you knew you were in for one of the highlights of your workday. With just a couple of words, a hug and those smiling eyes; Dr. Hager could leave you with a loving, warm memory that will last a lifetime.
I had the privilege of having Dr. Hager and Dr. Hayes perform my c-section in 2007. Knowing what goes on behind the blue curtain, I was nervous. After it began, I was soon at ease talking and joking with Dr. Hager as he was performing my c-section.
When he was done, Dr. Hager leaned over me, placed his hands on the sides of my forehead and with his eyes smiling at me, kissed my forehead through his mask and told me that I did a great job. Dr. Hager was the one who always did a great job with his patients, anyone can see that from all of their adoring messages.
Dr. Hager, all of us at North miss you terribly and love you dearly!!!

Dr.Hager will truly be missed by all of his earthly friends..I had the privledge and pleasure of working with him for over 25 years L&D..You always knew that if "Haggee" was on the case...all would be right with the world...AND IT WAS..I know that he is up there with some of his buddies and just know that he...Dr.Robinson..Dr. Burditt..Dr.Dunaway & Wendy are sharing their memories...My prayers to his family..May you rest in peace...Until we all meet again..PS>>When I hear thunder I will assume it is you up there playing your drums....

I am so sorry for your loss. Dr.Hagar was a good man, he delivered my youngest child and helped me through a difficult illness. Our prayers and love are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Dr. Hager delivered my only child and was a wonderful, caring man. After my delivery, I would see him almost every day on his way home when he lived near Lakeview Estates, he always made you feel like you were more than just his patient, he was also a friend and teased me about my comment moments after my daughter was born. It was such a wonderful experience and his bedside manner was so caring, I told him see you soon, we are going to do this again. He laughed, I was one of the only patients he had memory of checking her make-up before delivery. I will always have a special place in my heart for the man who helped bring my beautiful daughter into this world, I was only blessed with one child.

I am so sorry for your family loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and hope that you will find peace.
Dr. Schneberger

Joyce and family, may it bring each of you much comfort to know how many hearts have been touched by this loss and how many lives were influenced by his life. Thank you for sharing Mark with all of us for we know that for him to have been the wonderful physician and healer that he was, he had to have a wife and family that was just as caring and willing to let him be the dedicated and outstanding doctor that he was.
Please accept our gratitude as well as our prayers during this very difficult time.

dr.hager was a great dr. he brought my 2nd son in this world 4 years ago ,and will be missed greatly my thoughts and prayers go out to his family ,,,,,, amber terrell (victoria tx)

My heart is broken and my soul is saddenned by the loss of Dr Hager. I was very blessed to have known such a great person, He was more than just a doctor he was a true friend. I look back and read all the tributes to him and it makes me happy just knowing how loved he was by so many people. I will always remember him from his little walk to his mumbling under his mask. He always made you laugh no matter what. If you were having a horrible day all you had to do was hear his voice or see his face and it just made your whole day, thats the impact he had on everyone. He always smiled and always took time to listen to you. I pray that he is at peace now, and im sorry i wasnt able to tell him how important he was to me and about how he impacted my life in such a positive manner. I can only hope that he is watching us from Heaven and that he will continue to watch and take care of us as he always did here. I will miss everything about him. May you rest in peace Dr Hager.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.
Mark was such a neat person & Dr. He will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed working with him.

My heart broke when I heard of Dr.Hager's passing. He was my dr the 13 yrs I lived in Victoria and when I moved away, I still drove the 2 hours back for 5 yrs just to see him because there was no other dr like him. He delivered my son although he wasn't on call that weekend but I was being such a baby and crying that I wanted HIM to deliver my baby that they finally called him in and he was there to do my C-Section. He said he was glad to be there because now he didn't have to mow his lawn! He was more than just a dr, he was a friend during one of the most trying times in my life. He always made you feel like you were his favorite patient. I will never forget his smile, his warmth and his caring. Although I now have a great dr, Dr Hager will always and forever be my favorite. May he be resting in peace in God's kingdom which he so rightly deserves to be in. Prayers are with his family.

We will all miss you greatly Dr. Hager and feel lost without you--what doctor will we go to now?...I don't know...none will compare. You were loved by so many due to your personality. Your lightheartedness and jokes made an awkward appointment or even scary/anxious time for some an enjoyable one. Thanks for being my doctor, and for bringing not only my sister and my nephews into this world but also so many friend's children as well.

Joyce and family, my heart goes out to you. I can't imagine the pain and sorrow that you feel right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I've known Dr Hager for 30+ yrs. I worked with him (as an L&D nurse),He was my Doctor and my friend. It is so comforting to read all the messages in this guestbook and see how loved he was. He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. He was an amazing Doctor who kept his cool under the toughest circumstances. I witnessed him save the life of several babies and moms and he was always calm cool and collected. He was the best to work with. We will miss his morning hugs and his joking around. His mumbling under his mask and his sense of humor.
I pray he is at Peace now and is enjoying the company of Dr Robinson and Wendy.

Our thoughts & prayers are with the family. We pray God will give you strength during this sad time.
Rev. & Mrs. R. J. Wooten

Dr Hager was not just a doctor, he was also a doctor you called a true friend. As a patient you could truly tell he just loved life. He loved his family, his grandbaby, his ranch, and he loved what he did. He brought our first son into this world about a year ago and in the operating room when the electricity went out he not only stayed calm the whole time but also made me feel very at ease with the situation. We used to joke during all the pregnancy visits on how Woody should just make his own appointment and I have mine so they could talk about whatever. I am not sure if I will ever find a doctor who understood me so well with my OCD, anxiety, all the questions I had all the time and not to mention the many times I came in with internet this and internet that. He would laugh and tell me I am banned from looking on the internet. I am truly thankful for all the times he made me laugh, held my hand when I thought the worst, and most of all I am very thankful for the time he understood me when I had postpartum. I am truly thankful for him giving me my life back when I was in complete darkness. He told me that day “we don't take the easy road Kelly� so I know in my heart that this is a complete accident. Thank you Dr Hager for all you have done for me and my family. I am so thankful God gave me a chance to know you. You are and will be truly missed by all.
Woody and Kelly Lorance

My deepest sympathies and prayers go to his family. Dr. Hager was a wonderful and caring doctor, and a friend to our family. He was truly a great person, and will be missed by everyone!!
As a doctor, he took the time to answer all the questions and never rushed through the doctor visit. He always had a smile on his face and made me laugh all the time!
He delivered both of my children, and I have been blessed that he has been my doctor for over 20 years.
We will miss you!!
Sara, Glenn, Lucas & Rylee

I would lke to express my sympathy to the Hager family. I worked in the OR with Dr Hager several years ago and was very saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers are with you. Tiffany Tisue (Waco Tx)

Many years ago I met Dr. Hager while fitness training at one of the local gyms. He was a man of integrity and shared his smile easily. I knew him thru others, as he was highly respected and appreciated for his medical care and his good natured behavior. My prayers are with the family and friends to gain strength from GOD during this difficult time.

Dr. Hager was an incredible man, doctor and friend with a heart of gold. He delivered my son nearly four years ago. I am so very blessed to have had Dr. Hager take care of me. He truly made his patients feel as if they were his one and only patient; not just a number. His kindness, his smile, his sense of humor, his laugh, his knowledge, and his warm heart will truly forever be missed. It is rare to find such a unique, caring doctor you can call your friend. I will miss him so very much. My deepest condolences goes to his loved ones. May he be your Angel and watch over you all.

Dr. Hager was my doctor for over 20 years, which doesn't seem all that long ago. He always greeted me with a smile and made me feel at ease. He delivered both of my sons. I remember that with both I never had to see another doctor and he was there for both deliveries. With our first son, he walked into the delivery room with cowboy boots on and I missed it. My husband told me about it later and I said you didn't get a picture. When my husband and I decided to try for our second child, Dr. Hager would always say don't worry you are not too old to have a baby. You are in great health and everything will be fine. How right he was. I have him to thank for the wonderful care and advice he gave me which led to the birth of another amazing son. He will truly be missed and unable to replace. My heart is heavy with sadness and disbelief that he will no longer be around. I send my deepest sympathies to his family. Do know that he was a wonderful doctor and will truly be missed. I know without a wonderful family he couldn't have been a wonderful doctor. Thank you for sharing him with us. May God bless you all and give you peace during your time of grief.

Dr. Hager was such a wonderful man. He delivered me when I was born and both of my kids. He took care of my entire family! He was such a delight and I always looked forward to my appointments with him. He will be missed dearly by everyone who came in contact with him. You couldn't have asked for a better doctor. Just being a patient, I can not imagine how the family must feel so I will keep you in my prayers and my deepest sympathy goes out to you all. He will never be forgotten.

I am devasted over the loss of DR HAGER i had the pleasure to be a patient of his for the past 22 years....as a 16yr old teenager expecting a child he did his best to ensure i had a healthy child....he always had time to check on me and listen when i needed an ear...to hios family may god comfort you in this time of sorrow...this man touched many lives ...mine included...today with a heavy heart i say thank you great doctor....for keepin me in the best of health for 22yrs...

Melissa C. Victoria, Tx.

My deepest sympathies to the Hager family. I had been a patient of Dr. Hager since 1981. He was such a warm caring gentle soul and always had a smile. I had relocated to CA for years and just returned last year and took my youngest daughter in for her check up. Mind you it had been 13 years since I last saw him. When he came into the exam room, he looked at me...his eyes got big and said "Where the hell have you been"??? lol. Again, my condolences to the Hager family.
Robin Malik Garrett

I pray peace and comfort for the family, friends, co-workers, and patients of Dr. Hager. As a former patient, I already miss him! He was professional, caring, funny, and made you feel comfortable no matter the situation. I can't thank him enough for being the one to bring my babies into this world! He is and always will be a great man and wonderful doctor. Thank you Dr. Hager for everything and we will see you again!

Rest in Peace, Brother Betty Edwards,M.D.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Hager. He was a great man, dr, & friend. He will be truly missed by all! Know that you are all in my prayers. May God wrap His wings of love & mercy around you!

I was a patient of Dr. Mark Hager for 31 yrs. He was the most loving, caring, compassionate and understanding doctor and man. We were blessed to have had him in our lives. The medical field was lucky to have had him in theirs. He delivered all 4 of my children.(3 girls,1 boy) When I would come into his office, he always had some little funny something or joke to tell. He often teased me about trading one of my girls for one of his boys.(my first 3 were girls) When he delivered my son (which nobody knew was a boy) he said older moms get the BEST surprises. My heart aches so much, but I know that he has gone HOME to be with our FATHER. I know that he is now in good hands and will be watching over us from above. Dr Hager maybe gone but his memories have and will always touch our lives forever.

Dr. Hager was my doctor for 25 years. He just made you feel great. I always felt very comfortable and at ease with him. I loved his smile and his wonderful bedside manner. Jim thought also that he was a good ole guy. Our hearts and prayers are with his family, friends, co-workers, and patients during this very difficult time. He will be truly missed by tons of people. God Bless all of you. In our book he was an angel.

I had been a patient of Dr Hager for more than 31 yrs. He was the most loving, caring, compassionate and understanding doctor anyone could ask for. The medical field was lucky to have had him in it. I was lucky in that he delivered all 4 of my children.(3 girls, 1 boy) He would often tease me about trading 1 of my girls for 1 of his boys.(my first 3 were girls) When I delivered our son (which nobody knew was a boy) he laughed and said older moms get BEST surprises. We just laughed. He always had some funny something to tell you or just picked on you. My heart aches knowing that he has gone HOME. But I know that he will watching over us and GOD has something more for him to do in HEAVEN. He maybe gone but his memory will live on in our lives forever.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Mark Hager. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Hager was my doctor for so many years and always made me feel like I was his only patient. His persistance in following up on tests, detected my cancer in the earliest stages. I love him for saving my life and just for being his special self. I will miss him more than words can say.

He was always a happy man at the hospital. I will remember him that way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. Dr. Hager was a wonderful person and doctor. He will live on in our hearts forever. May God bless you during this difficult time.

Having known Dr Hager for over 25 yrs, my sadness for him & his family is genuine. I never saw him without a smile. My thoughts & prayers go out to him & his family. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy to the Hager family. Dr. Hager was one of a kind. My husband even enjoyed going to my checkups when I was pregnant just to visit with Dr. Hager. Dr. Hager delivered both of my children and we will forever be greatful for him. Dr. Hager you left us too soon. We miss you so much. God Bless!

I was Dr. Hager's patient for twenty-six years. He always walked in with a smile on his face and a warm handshake. He was a kind, caring and compassionate Doctor. I will truly miss him. May the Lord bless and watch over his family in these trying and difficult times. The Hager family will be in my prayers.

Debbie Priddy, Port Lavaca, Texas

I believe Dr. Hager may have just saved my life; I had been waiting to have an exam done for the past 3 months, of which Dr. Hager had ordered; I saw Dr. Hager about a month ago, and was asked if I had the exam done? I told him not yet; He urged me to do so, because "he wanted to see me be around"; I had the exam done today (and today I found out of his passing)and with results that are confidential, but I can say that possibly had I waited, could have turned out sadly. I believe he was my angel. God bless you Dr. Hager....

TO DR. HAGER'S FAMILY I WANT TO SAY HOW SORRY I AM FOR YOUR LOSS IT WAS A SHOCK TO KNOW A WONDERFUL PERSON IS GONE. HE WAS MY DR. FOR MY BABY GIRL AND WAS A VERY GOOD DR.

To the Hager family, I had the privilege of meeting him when he assisted Dr. Whitehouse in the delivery of my son in 2006. He was such a wonderful, funny, down to earth man who really made you feel special. There are so many words to describe his amazing man. He was a doctor who truly cared for his patients. I remember when we were in the delivery room and he was making jokes. He was truly a great man, great doctor and will be greatly missed. I was just there last month and had an appointment with Dr. Whitehouse, but he wasn't there so I asked if I could see Dr. Hager. He was telling me how proud he was that he had a grand-baby that lived in Katy. Then he pulled out his phone to show me pictures of his grand- baby and they lived in Katy. He also mentioned how he loved to go to the Bass Pro Shop at the Katy Mills Mall. I just laughed. My deepest sympathy to his family he will surely be missed.

Dear Joyce and family, We are so sorry for your loss. We both have so many warm memories of Mark and how he could tease us and make us laugh. Ron remembers first meeting him at UTMB when Ron was in PA school and then learning that Mark's mother's family was involved in raising Ron's Uncle Chris Herrmann. Know that you all are in our prayers and thoughts. May all these wonderful words from so many patients and co-workers and just everyone help you heal. In Christ's love, Ron & Pam Herrmann

Over the years when I would hear someone mention Dr. Hager's name it was always followed with a positive remark and how much they loved him as their doctor. He has impacted so many people's lives in a positive way. He delivered my son 12 yrs. ago. I remember he was sitting and talking with my husband eating popsicles while I was being prepped for a c-section. During the c-section he was talking with the other doctor about hunting, ranching and anyother subject they came upon. I remember laughing to myself thinking that performing a c-section for him was no big deal, just a normal routine. He was great at his job. I always thought about him when I would pass by The Women's Clinic. Even though I have not seen him in several years I still miss him and am deeply saddened by his passing. I have been praying for all of you.

Dr.Hagar was a wonderful doctor and had the best bedside manner.I've had the pleasure of being his patient since 1981, I felt like he was more than a doctor to me. He has brought my two girls in to this world and now my grandbabies. Dr. Hagar you will be missed.Rest in peace and our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU DR HAGER

I am very very saddened by the loss of such a GREAT MAN. I can't even begin to explain the impact he had on so many people's lives including mine. He was so caring and loving. He is one unforgettable person, It was a BLESSING to have known such a great person. He was always smiling and cheerful. We have all lost someone very special with this loss, but he will remain in all our hearts forever. May God bless the family, loved ones, and all the people who are mourning his loss. Dr Hager we all love you and miss you so much. Thank you for all you did for us. We will always love you, miss you, and we will never forget you.

My heart felt sympathy to the family of Dr Hager. I have had the privilege of working with Dr Hager as an L&D nurse for the past 16 years and he was one of the best. I will remember him always with respect, admiration and value. I am deeply saddened that I never told him that. I will miss him greatly. Sad that I will never laugh with him in a delivery....never see him wave at the camera as he comes through the back door...and never get a Hager hug again. I am just sad for all of us that knew & loved him.
Dr Hager.....give Luke & Wendy a big Hager hug for me.....I miss them too.

Dr. Hager was a kind and wonderful person. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to you and your family. Longina Sanchez (Victoria,TX)

I would like to offer our condolences to the Hager family. As I read through all of the recollections of Dr. Hager, I realize that he made all of his patients feel the same...special; as if their problems were the only concern in the world. He was with us through infertility, adoption, and the birth of three more children. He always told me that he looked forward to me being pregnant because my husband would come with me to my visits, and they could talk cattle and ag. He joked that I didn't even need to come to the check ups if I didn't want! I truly looked forward to my doctor visits because it was like visiting with an old friend. He was always willing to share about his personal life too. He bragged about his family and shared pictures. I looked forward to "catching up" while I was there. I hope that you find comfort in all of the stories that people have shared as well as your own wonderful memories. We will keep you in our prayers.

Dr. Hager was a wonderful doctor, I was his patient for the past 8 years, 5 years ago he saved my life, and for that my husband,my children, and I are truly greatful. Thank You Dr. Hager for being such an awesome doctor, you will truly be missed. Elsa A. (patient)

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Hager was such a wonderful person, co-worker and physician. He always made others around him feel so comfortable and at ease. He will be truly missed. May your memories help to comfort you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr Hager was such a down to earth Man.. He always made people feel at ease.. He will be missed by all....

When I walked into his office 21 years ago I was pregnant with my second child. I was so shy and scared he made me feel so confertable. So I said he's a keeper and had 2 more kids with him being my dr.He was a great doctor and I will miss him dearly. He was always joking arround too.

He will sadly be missed. He was my doctor last year.

Dr. Hager will be missed !! He was a great man and a great doctor. He saved my life and just delivered my son 4 months ago. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Julie Lucas (Moulton, TX)

WE remember how much fun our son, Josh, would always have when he would be with Charlie at his dad's house. Mark went out of his way to be good to his childrens' friends. Bill and Paula Leske

I had the privilege of working with Dr.Hager for 4 years from day one he was so wonderful and kind,someone that I consider a real friend. No one can replace you,you will be greatly missed always...keeping the Hager family in my prayers...

Joyce and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Hager has been my doctor for the past 26 years. I always looked forward to visiting with him, but I did not always know what to expect...even during delivery. My husband is a Washington Redskins fan, and Dr. Hager loved to tease him. I will never forget when our youngest child was born he announced that "It's another Redskin", we were both thinking that meant a boy. However, he added a few seconds later "Cheerleader". I will be forever grateful to Dr. Hager for caring for me during my pregnancies and delivering my Gifts from God into the world. May God Bless You as you wait to see him again!

We are truly going to miss our wonderful friend here at DeTar North Dr.Hager.He will always be in our hearts and in our prayers..love you always your family @ North

Dr. Hager was a great doctor even from the short time that I was blessed with his services. He always made me feel comfortable during my prenatal visits and always had a smile on his face. If it wasn't for him, I would not have my beautiful, healthy Cedie that he helped to bring into the world. You will truly be missed.

I had the honor of working with Dr. Hager for the last 3 years. He was my GO TO man whenever I needed something fixed. He will be greatly missed here at the VWCA and will NEVER be forgotten! The Lord has received one SPECIAL "little" man and I hope he's ready for him :) My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who are suffering from this lose.

Dr. Hager will be greatly missed

Like the poem "Footprints In The Sand" ---during this difficult time in your life - Let God CARRY You!
Your family is in my prayers. Dr. Hager was a wonderful Doctor.
God Bless Your Family.

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Hager's Family....He has been my doctor for 10 years, and because of him, I have my daughter, Cheyann. Every time I see him, he would always ask how our miracle baby is doing. I am truly blessed to have had such a wonderful doctor. He was a true "Country Boy!" My family and I will miss you.

God Bless You, Dr. Hager,
Melissa, Johnny, Dylan and Cheyann Parks
