Zachary Stuart Hagans

Zachary Stuart Hagans, 38, passed away unexpectedly on July 15, 2026, as the result of a tragic automobile accident.

Zach was born on May 15, 1988. From the moment he entered this world, he was cherished by his parents Linda Celones-Hagans and Fred Hagans Jr. To say he was loved is an understatement. He was, and always will be, the center of their universe. Quiet by nature, Zach's loving heart grew into a kind, creative, and talented young man with a deep passion for the arts.

A gifted musician, Zach had the remarkable ability to play the saxophone, violin, and piano. He also loved acting and embraced every opportunity to express his creativity. His enthusiasm, talent, and love for entertaining others led him to spend much of his adult life working at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. One of his favorite experiences was being part of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, where he especially enjoyed helping create unforgettable memories for guests.

In recent years, Zach found a career he loved driving for Lyft. His lifelong joy of automobiles made the job a perfect fit, with meeting new people and helping them in any way he could.

About four years ago, Zach rescued a puppy named Roxy, who quickly became his constant companion. Roxy brought joy, comfort, and unconditional love into his life. Through life's challenges and celebrations alike, she was always by his side, and Zach loved her deeply.

Zach is survived by his mother, Linda Labrador (Fred); his father, Fred Hagans, Jr. (Michael Smith); his siblings, Chloe Ting-Labrador (Daniel), Mark Labrador (Megan), Matthew Labrador (Ana), his maternal grandmother, Terry Celones; his paternal grandmother, Loraine Van Haecke (Bill); and many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

He was welcomed into Heaven by his maternal grandfather, Ben Celones; his paternal grandfather, Fred Hagans, Sr. and his dog Macey.

Zach will be remembered for his loving heart, quiet kindness, sarcasm, quick wit, and gentle spirit. Along with his artistic talents, Zach found joy in music, theater, and his beloved Roxy. Although his time on earth was far too short, the love he shared and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
