Tom passed away at home surrounded by family on January 13, 2026. He was the first born to Harold ‘Red’ and Gladys Hagen in New Rockford, ND on October 24, 1947. After graduation from New Rockford High School, he enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Germany for 2 years. After serving his country he returned to North Dakota and attended Lake Region Jr. College. Following college, Tom worked for Archie Campbell Construction and Leever’s Supermarkets. He later owned and operated a grocery store along with his brother, Bruce.

Tom married Christine Bush on March 2, 1973. Together, Tom and Christie had 3 children: Jackson, Stewart, and Miranda. They became Grandparents in 1994 for the first time and great-grandparents in 2016. Tom had 6 grandkids and 3 great granddaughters that he loved dearly. He truly lit up when he was able to spend time with the children in his life. Tom will always be remembered for his love of animals and kids, the smell of his pipe, and his quiet nature.
