Alan "Al" Roy Hagen

Alan Hagen, aged 80, entered eternal life on September 2, 2026.

Born to the late Carl and Erna (Spohr) Hagen in Dodge City, Kansas, Alan grew up in Wisconsin. After graduating from Fox Valley Lutheran High School, he pursued a degree in electrical engineering technology at Fox Valley Technical College. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1966, completed his service in 1968, and returned to finish his degree. He began his distinguished career at Kimberly-Clark Corporation in the early 1970s, retiring in 2003. His career took him around the world, managing projects in Mexico, Germany, Japan and China.

Alan is survived by his former wife, Bonnie Hagen, the mother of his children: Lisa (James) Heder, Eric (Suik Yung) Hagen, and Ryan (Lori) Hagen. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Ethan, Casey, Drew, Cole, Josie and Hunter; his sister, Carol (Gary) Spessard; and his brother, Ken (Sheryl) Hagen. Alan was preceded in death by his parents.

Alan held a special place in his heart for his beloved Lakewood. Following his retirement, he made Lakewood his permanent home, living a simple life surrounded by the beauty of the Northwoods. The cottage on Munger Lake holds many happy memories of time spent there with him. His favorite activities included fishing, deer hunting, playing cribbage and attending Packer games. Alan had an expansive talent for woodworking and produced many wooden works of art in his basement workshop. As his children started families of their own, visiting “Grandpa Al” was a very special time, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.

There will be no formal memorial service. The immediate family will gather privately to remember Dad. The family invites friends and loved ones to remember Al in their own way and to celebrate the memories they shared. Perhaps raise a toast, cast a musky lure, deal a hand of cribbage, or simply spend some time enjoying the Northwoods he loved.
