Kent Hagemeyer Obituary
Kent Ulrich Hagemeyer, 85, lifelong Toledo resident, died peacefully at his home on December 16, 2020. He was born March 26, 1935, to Frank and Helen Hagemeyer.
He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Nan; children, Brad (Cathy) Hagemeyer, Sherri (Donald) Frazier, Todd (Teri) Hagemeyer; seven splendid grandchildren, Libby (Matt) Harris, Paul (Rachel) Hagemeyer, Allisen (Connor) Mc Manis, Susan, Joshua, Cameron and Olivia; and 3 great grandchildren Bennett, Sloane and Eloise.
Kent was a proud graduate of DeVilbiss High School and The University of Toledo. He had a successful career in sales for Sherwin Williams and the A.F. Schurman Co. His passions included sailing, watercolor painting, collecting trains and his beloved Estate Sales by Kent. Kent was an active member of the University of Toledo Alumni Association and past President of the Golden Alumni Association. He was also a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Alumni Association and the Toledo Botanical Gardens.
Kent always enjoyed a good party and conversation, tasty food, adventuresome travel and lots of laughs. He had a natural ability to connect with people and had countless loving friends. His most cherished times were those with his wife and family, always supporting and participating in the endless activities and events of his children and grandchildren, especially if it meant he could be outdoors…or eating.
A small memorial service is planned for immediate family only. At a later date, per Kent's wishes, a party will be held to celebrate a life well lived and loved.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the UT Alumni Association, the Avalon Foundation, the Metroparks of Toledo, or a charity of your choosing.

Very sorry to hear this. Talking to Kent was always so easy. He was certainly a person who was comfortable in his own skin. I'm glad that through Tod I was able to get to know him just a little bit.

Your dad was truly one of my favorite people in my life! He had a gift of making each person who was with him feel important and special and he was always willing to do what ever it would take to make things fun and enjoyable for everyone involved! From Bird Lake . . . to Hidden Harbor Lake he made any gathering so much more fun! I send my Love, Hugs and Prayers to you all and all of your Dad's loved ones. He will be dearly missed.

Ken and I were virtually raised together, and his passing raises years of loving memories from mud pies to graduations. Nan, my heart goes out to you and the family at this time. Rodger adds his love to mine.

Kent left no doubt that he was devoted to his lovely wife and that together they enjoyed the entire process of hosting their Sales by Kent! I had the opportunity to interact with both of them often and it was a pure joy. He was faithful to all and always had a wonderful and engaging attitude!!

Many warm memories of Mr. Hagemeyer growing up and spending spring break with my family in St. Augustine, FL at Summer House. I always enjoyed swimming with him in the ocean and he always had a hug and could always make me laugh. Thinking of you all during this difficult time and sending you love.

I was a neighbor of Hagemeyers on Larchmont Pky while Ken, I & my brother,Fred were young.
We had fun times in the neighborhood.
Ken was a close friend of my mom, Rosie Cohen.
I took piano lessons from Mrs. Hagemeyer.
Great friends of our family.
My husband( fiancé then) Bob & I ( also married 61 yrs) attended Ken & Nan’s wedding.
Away from Toledo but remember friends old & new.
Rest In Peace,Ken

Dear Nan and family, you have my sincere sympathy. I knew Kent in high school and got to know him better over the last few years. A kind, thoughtful and fun-loving person. Nan, you had a wonderful life together and have so many memories to look back on. I know what you're facing. I know what it's like to lose your lifelong partner. Stay close to your family, stay positive, keep your faith and you'll make it through.

He was a great guy and friend. When I would see him we would talk about trains and he always ask about our family and how everyone was doing. He will be missed. Rest in peace Kent.

What a great OPA! He was the best volunteer in my Kindergarten classroom. He loved the kids and they loved OPA!
He was also the best UT cheerleader at all the Rocket's ballgames!
I am going to miss his hugs, smiles, and his conversations.
Our prayers are with your families.
Love, Joel & Carol Nofziger

I knew Mr. Hagemeyer during my high school years (DeVilbiss 1980 grad) through his children Brad and Sherri mostly. Brad was the grad class before me and Sherri graduated with my sister, Stacey Vermette (Hudkins) in 1981. I always loved seeing Mr. and Mrs. H anytime during many DeVilbiss high school functions. One could always see how much they loved their children and loved being active in their lives. Mr. H. reminded me so much of my dad, Roger Hudkins, with their love of family and friends and being active. Mr. H will be missed immensely. Sending much love.
