Thomas Ryan Hagley

Born, June 17, 1985 in Columbus Ohio, to Brad Hagley and Mary Wolski-McGovern.

The guy with the fedora. The lover of finding serenity in nature, sunshine and solitude. The artist who didn't share his gift without leaving a mark on your heart. His passion was seen through his music with lyrics that touched souls around the world. To talk to him was to bond with an old soul. In his own words, "it's a long dark world you know that we all live in, and man it seems like, everybody's overdue for a change."

Tom is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Thomas Wolski and Carl Hagley.

Tom is survived by his son, Khimera; fiancée, Brittany Simpson; parents, Brad (Valerie) Hagley and Mary (Mike) McGovern; sisters, Holly Hagley and Anna Hagley; grandmothers, Ruth Ann Hagley and Louise Wolski; numerous loving relatives and friends; and in spirit with his beloved dog, Damien.
