Mike Hagg

Michael Lee “Mike” Hagg, of Warsaw, passed away surrounded by his family at the age of 62 on Monday, July 15, 2024, at Lutheran Hospital of Fort Wayne. He spent his time on this earth living life to the fullest and loving people in a great way, all while he fought a hard battle against cancer. Mike’s pain has come to an end; he is whole again and rejoicing in heaven.

Mike was born on Nov. 3, 1961, in Goshen, to Patricia Ann (Tusing) and Norman Lee Hagg. He was a lifetime resident of Kosciusko County and graduated from Warsaw High School in 1980. He went on to earn his associate degree in electronic engineering technology from ITT Fort Wayne.

Mike married the love of his life, Rhonda M. Butler, on Feb. 1, 1992. They were blessed with raising three children and celebrated 32 years of marriage together before Mike passed away. He grew up in a household that dearly loved the Lord, and the teachings from his parents followed him throughout his life. Mike enjoyed the fellowship of his church family at West Eel Church of the Brethren. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and a friend to many. Mike will be dearly missed and forever loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
