Matthew was a giving person in life, and he gave the ultimate gift in his death. The gift of life to others. Being an organ and tissue donor, he saved many lives when he passed. He made me very proud to call him my son.
Matthew also has an older brother, Christopher, and three nephews, Matthew Dean Hagan II, and Christopher Lawrence Hagan Jr. & Alex Dean Hagan, and a niece Maudie Mea Farmer. He was also a weight lifter. He loved to show off his strength. He was a very strong and healthy young man.
He was taken from us way too soon. His "best friend" was there that night, The friends mother was letting them drink moonshine. The friend shot my son through the head. He lived for 18 hours before being declared brain dead. I hope this site can do him justice, He was a very smart and handsome young man, cut down way too soon.
