Reverend Darrell Anthony Bagwell died on 2 December 2020 at age 64


While attending Mount Pisgah Baptist Church, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior in June of 1978 and his life was never the same. The Lord spoke to Pastor Bagwell and called him to Ministry in 1983. In June of 1992, he began serving as Interim Pastor for Mt. Zion M.B. Church in Galesburg, IL until God elevated him to Pastor/Teacher in November 1993.

As an advocate for secular and spiritual education, Dr. Bagwell always encouraged further education and displayed an example of lifelong learning as he furthered his education by obtaining his Masters of Divinity and Doctorate of Divinity degrees.

Dr. Darrell Bagwell faithfully served at Mt. Zion for 28 years until God called him home. He loved his church family and was truly an anointed Bible teacher who taught them by real world applications of the Word and personal experiences, interwoven with humor and wisdom. He was a no nonsense, tell it like it is, open and honest man of God.

Dr. Bagwell is the proud parent of two beautiful children; DJ and Denice Bagwell (FL) and Dameris Bagwell, who preceded him in death on December 1, 2008.

On September 6, 2014, he united in Holy Matrimony with his best friend Kimberly Bagwell. Within this union, God extended Dr. Bagwell’s family with another daughter Jasmine Tate (AZ).

Dr. Bagwell is the proud grandparent of Ivana, Zayne, Gianna, Elijah. He leaves to cherish his memories, his siblings: Linda Bagwell, Tony Bagwell, Goldie Bagwell, and Gregory Bagwell. He also leaves Ebonee Morris who he was an active father figure towards, a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, godchildren and dear friends.

Dr. Bagwell served as the 1st Vice Moderator for the Orthodox Woodriver District Baptist Association of Central Illinois and worked for over 30 years at Nestle Corporation until he retired.

Dr. Darrell Bagwell was an avid Chicago Bears fan, enjoyed to bowl, watch all things comedy, loved to cook... alone, and got the most joy from bringing a smile to others faces…strangers and all.

On the early morning of Tuesday, December 2nd, 2020, the Lord saw fit to call Dr. Darrell Bagwell from labor to reward, with his wife near his side. Despite all the fiery darts the Devil had thrown, Dr. Bagwell continued to be the same God fearing, Baptist preaching, standing on the Word and NOT caring who gets mad teaching, can't carry a tune singing, down on his knees praying, giving God all the glory praising, man of God up until the very end! He was a man of miraculous faith similar to Elisha and continued to give life even after his death by being an organ donor.

The family is appreciative to so many who helped to provide assistance to Dr. Darrell Bagwell over the past year. However, Kimberly could not have provided the level of care he deserved without the help of Erie Johnson, Deacon James Joyner, Henry Armstrong, Deacon Leroy Walker, Deacon Feotis Moore, Butch Ridgeway, Pastor Toby Carlos, and Ms. Carolyn Armstrong.
