James Carson "Jimmy" Hagemann

James Carson "Jimmy" Hagemann, 64 years old, of Pampa, Texas, passed from this life into eternal rest on Saturday morning, September 21st, 2024, in Amarillo. He was born on August 25, 1960, to Jess and Loveta Hagemann in Pampa, Texas.
Jimmy was born a military brat and lived numerous places throughout his childhood including Germany before settling into Pampa as his lifelong home. After graduating from Pampa High School with the Class of '79' he started his career with the City of Pampa in the Wastewater Collection department. According to Jimmy, he was a "turd buster" for all of Pampa residents before retiring after 31 ½ years he was very particular about the ½ year! On September 2, 1995, Jimmy married Donna Ray and happily took to her three kids as his own. It wasn't long after they adopted their fourth child, Logan. Donna passed away in 2006 and being fortunate enough to find two loves in his life, Jimmy married Carolyn Gilmer on June 11, 2011.
He was blessed with artistic abilities of drawing, painting in several mediums, and woodworking. Numerous displays of his work are all around his home from paintings, drawings in charcoal, tables, a bar, frames and countless other treasures he has crafted with his hands and love. When not devoting his time in a creative manner, he had a tendency to pull out the Wild Turkey and then the party commenced! Once the drinks started flowing, he was lovingly referred to as the "Reverend Hagemann", but he was best known for his CB handle, "The Taz".
Jimmy loved listening to old country or classic rock and enjoyed two-stepping when given an opportunity. He was pretty good at shooting pool, playing poker as well as playing craps, but his all-time favorite hobby was riding his motorcycle. He loved to travel cross country or just cruise the highway – didn't matter as long as he was on his bike. The last long haul he was able to take was about seven years ago with Carol and his kids to Las Vegas.
Most know Jimmy as a jokester that could never be taken seriously, but his grandkids thought he was the best and to top it off, he made the greatest omelets and pancakes ever! Periodically, he and Carol would have the grandkids over for a hot tub party if they had done well in school or other activities and they loved it. Jimmy had his quirks, such as an extra rare steak (nearly mooing that a good vet could bring back), hot sauce and practically anything spicy, old country music and an extremely loud TV that drove everyone crazy, but at the end of the day, he was, as his son Chad put it, a King to them! He will be so deeply missed by many.
Those who awaited his arrival into Heaven are his parents, a sister, Mary Pearl Hagemann; his late wife, Donna Hagemann, or his Little Doll as he referred to her; an aunt, Ferrell Day and a grandson, Joseph Valdez.
