Bobby Dean Hager, a cherished soul known for his loving nature, kind heart, and delightful sense of humor, passed away on October 30, 2025, in Greenville, SC. Born on July 3, 1957, in Allen, KY, Bobby's life was a testament to the enduring spirit of a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life.
Bobby's early years in Allen were filled with the warmth of a close-knit family, including his late parents, Marie Blankenship and Hassell Herman Hager. His journey through life was shared with his beloved wife, Rebecca Mullins Hager, who predeceased him, leaving a legacy of love that continued to guide him. Bobby's companionship extended to his adored fur baby, Flopsie, who was a source of comfort and joy throughout his life.
For 35 years, Bobby dedicated himself to working in a coal mine. After his tenure at the mine, he found a new community as a cashier at Walmart. The loving family and friends he made at Walmart remained an integral part of his life, offering support and camaraderie.
Bobby's passions were as unique as his personality. He had an avid interest in collecting anything adorned with eagles, a symbol of the freedom and beauty he so admired in nature. His love for the outdoors was evident in his fondness for walking, where he found solace and inspiration in the tranquility of the natural world. Antique cars also captivated Bobby, as he appreciated the craftsmanship and nostalgia they evoked.
