Thomas (Tom) Bagwell, 67, passed away April 1st at St. Anthony’s Hospital. He put up a very brave fight but lost his life to the coronavirus. He is Survived by, his wife Renae, son Tommy Bagwell, son-in-law Andrew Barbo, son Jason Bagwell, daughter-in-law Theresa Bagwell, grandson Brayden Bagwell, brother David Bagwell, sister Brenda Martin, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Tom was born in Nashville, Arkansas on December 20th, 1952. Although he told Renae he was born in a barn, she found out later, that he was actually born in a hospital. His parents, Dallas and Germaine moved their family to Denver where Dallas got a job with the Railroad. But one of the misfortunes the family suffered occurred in 1965, when the Platte River flood caused the family to lose nearly everything.

In 1973, Tom and Renae married young, he at the age of 21, and Renae at the age of 18. Despite their youth, the minister accurately predicted their marriage would be successful. They had two wonderful boys; Tommy in 1977, and Jason in 1979, and they sincerely enjoyed spending time together on little trips.

When the boys moved out, Tom and Renae shared hobbies they both enjoyed; fishing, shooting, showing their miniature schnauzers, and just spending time together. He was a conscientious and considerate husband with a great sense of humor and a booming laugh that would light up a room. He loved competitive shooting and collecting knives, but also enjoyed simply hanging out with his shooting buddies.

After he retired from the railroad, Tom became a helpful partner to Renae in her insurance agency, a job that gave him access to many customers who also came to love him.

Tom was a prankster who liked jokes, and so it somehow seemed fitting that he chose April Fool’s day to make his final exit.

Tom was supportive of both of his son's careers and kept the cars and everything working in the house. Specifically, because Tom was handy, generous, honest and trustworthy, he was the kind of guy many a stranded motorist hoped to run into, and, in fact, many stranded people actually did.

But one day on a mountain fishing trip turned out to be the best example of what kind of guy Tom was. Everyone was trying to fish, but the boys were young and Renae didn’t like to bait her hook, so Tom was not able to get much fishing in for himself. Instead, he cheerfully hurried about, baiting hooks, untangling lines, and taking care of everyone else. When Tommy caught a fish, Tom helped him land the fish, praised him for his great catch, and then, in a moment of fatherly insight, he pretended to throw the well-hooked fish back into the lake. Immediately after the fish splash into the water, he looked at Jason who had already started fussing with frustration. Tom then carried the pole with the fish still on the line and handed it to Jason. After that, Tom stood back, folded his arms on his chest, and watched with pure delight when Jason also “caught” a fish! Tom adored his grandson, Brayden and enjoyed every minute of being a grandpa. He was a good man who lead a good life, and we will miss him.

Because The Salvation Army helped his family during the flood, In lieu of flowers, I think Tom would want donations to be made in his honor.

He was buried at Rocky Mountain Memorial Park, Denver, Denver County, Colorado.
