Devoted and beloved father and grandfather Thomas “Tommy” Ross Bagley, a proud fifth-generation native Texan, 74, joined our Heavenly Father on Monday, October 25, 2021, with his children by his side. The youngest child of Thomas Daniel Bagley and Carlene Virginia Hartung Bagley of Martindale, Texas, Tommy was born on March 15, 1947, into the most loving and generous family. He inherited his father’s athleticism and attended San Marcos High School, where he proudly played on the 1965 Texas state high school basketball championship team as a varsity player. After graduating high school in 1966, he went on to attend The University of Texas and then Southwest Texas State University, where he majored in mathematics and graduated in 1970. Carrying on his family’s decades-long business experience, inspired by the family business of W.W. Bagley & Sons (which was founded during the Great Depression), Tommy had an enthusiastic entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to open his own insurance agency, Thomas Bagley & Associates. Later in his career, he enjoyed diving into different industries with a common thread of applying his business insight, salesmanship, and incredible gift for fostering relationships with people. Tommy loved all people, making friends with everyone he encountered everywhere he went and brightening every room he entered with his infectious laugh. With his deep and booming voice, he spoke deliberately and always told the truth. His congenial spirit, deep Christian faith, and zest for life touched all who knew him. One of his greatest qualities was his ability to listen intently to everyone with whom he spoke. He was a master storyteller who would spend hours talking with family and friends, always making them feel like they were the most important person in the room.
