George Fagan Obituary

My heart is not complete without such a great person in my life. I will always miss you, love you, George. God has you now, you are blessed.

Had a great time visiting with Colonel Fagan and talking about the early days of the Academy which he experienced with my father. I remember being in school with his daughter Tina. My best to the family.

Fr. Fagan:

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember when you were the Asst. Pastor at St. Mary Magdalene in Denver, your father purchased New American bibles for the entire junior high at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School. I am 52 years old, and I still have that bible and read it to this day. One very simple gesture on his part--that continues to impact me. I will remember your father and the rest of your family in my prayers.

Renny, sorry to hear the loss of your father, this is such a heart break I know for you and the family. Because I remembered you as a North Jr. class mate I wanted to send my sympanty to you and the family. (remember Denniece, Sarah, Angie,Karen,John Craig,Doug, Ms.Guy just to name a few :-). Well you and yours look to the lord with prayer to keep all strong during this time of sorrow.

George, I am going to miss you a lot. Your words of inspiration kept me going, and your wisdom became a part of my everyday life. Maay the Lord seat you next to Him, always.

I was so sorry today to learn of Doctor Fagan's passing--I remember well his Wit and Wisdom, his Intellect and Insightfulness, his Counsel and his Kindness, his Service to the Country and the Community and the Colleges(the Air Force Academy and Colorado College) and how he made all of them and each of us a so much better world and so much better people because of his presence in our lives. His son Bill and I were classmates and friends in high school and when I returned from Vietnam years later and enrolled at Colorado College, Dr. Fagan welcomed me back and encouraged my pursuits, however much a long-shot at best they seemed. He and Mrs. Fagan welcomed me into their home on several occasions and always made sure that I knew I always had a place to go where I would be welcomed and treated like a member of the family. His letter of recommendation for my application to medical school made all the difference in the world to me at that time and is something I carry with me to this day. The memory of the many kindnesses of Dr. Fagan and his family is something I will carry with me forever.

A loss for his family, for the local community and for the military community at large. Heartfelt condolence to the Fagan family. You are in my prayers.

I am most grateful for the opportunity and guidance Dr. Fagan and his wife Ernestine gave me so many years ago at Colorado College. It was a life-changing experience and a lasting benefit. My sincere condolences to the family.

General you will be missed! I loved you and learned so much during your therapy sessions!
My condolences to your family.

Dear Fr. George and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Donna Fisher

I was saddened to hear of Gen. Fagan's death. How great that he was able to have such a long and distinguished life. I remember fondly those early years at the Academy when the grounds around Col. Fagan's quarters were legendary, when George and Bill delivered the newspapers from their motor scooter, and when we all rode the bus to to the parochial schools in town. Our parents gave us the best of childhoods, and we'll miss them as long as we're still here ourselves

Such an Honorable life lived by such a Treasured man. May the Lord richly bless and comfort his family and friends.
With sincere love

Dear Dad,

We all so loved you and will miss you greatly, but can be comforted by many fond memories and your spirit living within us forever.
Your loving daughter
