David George Hagstrom

He graduated from Grove City, PA High School in 1980 where he played on the golf and basketball teams.

He graduated from Allegheny College in 1984 where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. He was a 3-time NCAA Division III golf All-American, and a member of the 1983 NCAA Division III National Champions. He was elected to the Allegheny College Golf Hall of Fame in 1995.

He entered the United States Air Force in 1985 as a 2nd Lieutenant and served in a variety of acquisition and logistics positions until he retired in 2005 from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Dave continued on at the base as a civilian and supported the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Dave was a devoted husband of 33 years to Catherine (Murphy) and a loving Father to Katelyn and Erik who all survive him. He loved spending time with his family and friends to include snorkeling in the Caribbean and playing golf at NCR Country Club.

The True Gentleman creed from his Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity sums up his life and character:

“The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.”

The family will receive loved ones and friends on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 from 10:00 AM - Noon at the Tobias Funeral Home, 3970 Dayton Xenia Road, Beavercreek, Ohio 45432.
