James Eldon Bagwell was born on August 18, 1935, in Warren, Oklahoma to Clark and Margaret (Borden) Bagwell. He was dubbed “Pee-Wee” at a very young age because of his stature, an endearment he carried throughout adulthood. But that small frame came with a mighty personality.

Raised in Southwest Oklahoma, Pee-Wee graduated from Warren High School. On April 13, 1954, he married Sally Anita Bush and to this union three children were born - Rick, Vicki, and Dirk. Pee-Wee enlisted into the United State Air Force on April 21, 1954, where he faithfully served his country for 26 years. Serving as a Chaplain Assistant, his military career took the family across the globe, with assignments in Texas, Colorado Springs, Illinois, Minnesota, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Thailand. Pee-Wee retired on April 30, 1980, with the rank of Master Sergeant.

Following his retirement, Pee-Wee and Sally returned to Jackson County where he farmed for another 40 years. A devoted member of the Warren Church of Christ, he also served on the Board of the Warren Cemetery. Though he traveled the world, Pee-Wee found his greatest joy in the quiet life of the farm. He especially cherished spending time with friends and neighbors, often gathered around a cup of coffee and good conversation. Pee-Wee passed from this life on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at the age of 90.

His son, Dirk and wife, Kelli Bagwell; grandson, Derek Beasley; parents, Clark and Margaret; and brother, Bobby Bagwell preceded him in death. His spit-fire personality and love for the Lord lives on with his wife of 71 years, Sally; children, Rick Bagwell and wife, Chrissy and Vicki Beasley and husband, Don; grandchildren, Dara-Brooke Rose and husband, Jacob, Kader Bagwell and wife, Kristen, James Bagwell and wife, Kait, and Seth Beasley and wife, Stephanie; great-grandchildren, Caleb Rose, Cadee Rose, Presley Bagwell, and Dixon Bagwell; siblings, John Bagwell and Judy Jones; and a host of other family and friends.

Pee-Wee will by lying in state on Monday, September 1st from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Services are scheduled for 10:00 AM on Tuesday, September 2nd, at the Warren Church of Christ with Minister Ron Suiter officiating. Burial will immediately follow at the Warren Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family humbly requests that memorials in Pee-Wee’s name be given to the charity of your choice.
