Obituary of Christopher Hagee

Christopher Hagee, age 58 of Phoenixville, PA passed away peacefully on Friday, June 20th after a long battle with colon cancer.

Born in Darby, PA, Christopher was the son of the late John D. and Mary Frances (Cannon) Hagee and son to his late stepmother, Gwynne Hagee (Linton), of Phoenixville.  Christopher graduated from The Vanguard School in 1986.  Christopher was an autistic adult who never let his diagnosis limit his life and what he could accomplish.  He worked multiple jobs over the years including West Chester University, the former Ground Round and Bennigan’s in King of Prussia, Taco Bell/KFC in Royersford, and his most recent job at Infinito’s in Phoenixville.  Christopher was a faithful member of St. Mary’s the Assumption Church in Phoenixville, but would often attend mass at Saint Ann’s as well.

Christopher lived in Phoenixville for over 35 years and loved the town.  He enjoyed taking the bus to the library or to many of the local restaurants.  Christopher was an avid baseball fan, often attending both Philadelphia and Reading Phillies games.  He also loved music from his youth and early adulthood as he was often spotted walking around listening to his music on his headphones.  

He is survived by sisters Mary B. Hagee McCarthy and Margaret Labik (Steve), brothers Daniel J. Hagee and the late John D. Hagee, Jr., as well as his niece, Ava Labik.   

Visitation will be held in church from 10:00am – 10:45am on Thursday, June 26th.  Relatives and friends are invited to attend his funeral mass afterwards at 11:00am at St. Mary’s the Assumption Church, 212 Dayton Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460.  Burial will be held following in St. Mary’s Black Rock Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made in his memory to either the Phoenixville Library or The ARC of Chester County.
