William Daniel Hagarty

July 31, 2018

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the sudden death of William D. Hagarty on July 31, 2018 in Markham, ON. Bill was taken way too soon and has left a trail of broken hearts. Bill was known not only for his intellect and deep perspective on life, but for his beautiful, kind and caring soul. He was a gentle man. It was fun and easy to be with Bill and to get lost in a conversation with him. We'll all remember his wit, charm and humour. He was a man of many interests...music, books, history, planes, cars, cooking and, of course, the Blue Jays! Bill was not only a brother but considered a friend by his surviving siblings Ken, Bob and Pam. He will find his beautiful sister Heather in heaven along with his mom and dad (Gladys and Ken). Brother-in-law Alan Brown loved him like his own brother and sister-in-law Leslie Ann adored him. Madison, Amy, and Calum, Cory and Katie, and Saige and Jade will miss his warm, infectious laugh. His absence will be felt by his friends at the Duchess and by his co-workers. Bill would not want to cause sadness or pain to any of the many people who loved him, but our lives will never be the same. We will pay tribute to Bill with a celebration of his life in the near future. Details will be posted here. Rest in peace “Wild” Bill. You were so loved. There will be a Celebration of Life for Bill on Friday, September 28th at the Duchess of Markham, located at Main St. N. (Hwy 7 & Markham Rd.), between 2 - 5 p.m
