James Lynn Bagwell, 73, of Hamilton passed into the arms of Jesus Monday, March 24, 2014 in Waco, TX., with family at his side. He made a last minute decision to donate his body to science in hope that it may be used to save lives, especially those with heart disease. His family was honored to grant his last wish. A family memorial will be held on the Brazos River at a later date.
He was born July 18, 1940 to Horace Vernon Bagwell and Gertrude Ogan in Granbury, TX. On Christmas day 1959 he married the love of his life Sharon Lee Clanton, a loving and blessed marriage of 54 years.

He was a loving and devoted husband, dad and Papaw who loved nothing more than his family. A true man of his word, hard worker and great provider. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, air boating down the Brazos River and watching his grandsons play ball.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Jeffrey Lynn Bagwell 2013 and great-grandson, Cason Branham Piepkorn 2010.
Survivors include his wife Sharon; daughter Christie Stewart and husband Greg , son Cody Bagwell and wife Kiesha; grandchildren, Heather Shull and husband Ryan, Clay and Tyler Stewart, Brittaney Boatwright and husband Clay, Blake Whitehead, Casey Bagwell, Payton and Caden Bagwell; great grandchildren, Baily and Bethany Boatwright, and Cutter Shull. Brothers Robert Bagwell and wife Linda, Gene Massengale and wife Nancy. Several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the Doctors and nurses at Hamilton Hospital, Providence Hospital and Hospice. The care and compassion we received was excellent.
