James (JR) Wade Hagan Jr., 60 of Louisville, passed away on January 25, 2021 at his home unexpectedly. A real jokester and prankster, he was well liked by all who had the pleasure of meeting him. James had a real zest for life often enjoying time in the Water Park area at Kentucky Kingdom where he made many friends including park staff. A deeply devoted family man JR deeply loved his family and loved to spend time with them whenever the chance arose. He is greatly missed by so very many people. He is preceded in death by his grandparents James and Beulah (Hendricks) Hymer and Charles M. and Virgie (Masden) Hagan, his parents, James and Dorothy (Hymer) Hagan, sister Beverly Dunn, niece Jennifer Hagan and his beloved cat of over 20 years Sam. JR is survived by his loving daughter, Lisa Hagan, sister B. Mae Heath and brothers Jack R. and Henry M. Hagan as well as many nieces and nephews and a very large extended family and friends who are too numerous to count.
