John resided in Casselberry and passed away in October of 2005 at the age of 33. With a faith grounded in God's plan, and a LIVESTRONG attitude John fought a year long battle with cancer. John was a Field Manager for Centex Homes. Along with his strong Christian faith, there was his love for family, friends and outdoor activities, most specifically fishing and baseball. After many years of fishing and playing ball, his children have grown to share his same passions. Generous with his time and love, John will be remembered eternally for his unselfish ways, warm smile and giving heart. John is survived by his wife, Paula Bagley; son, Austin; and daughter, Caitlyn of Casselberry; parents, Jack and Suzy Bagley of Maitland; sister, Elizabeth Bagley of Sanford; in-laws James and Edith Figler and a multitude of aunts, uncles, cousins, brother and sister in-laws, nieces and nephews.

I was friends with John since 1st grade. The very first day I met John we were friends instantly. I miss John terribly but I do know he is in a much better place. Johh will always be remembered by me and my family.Tammy Bolt (Werthem)
I lived down the street from John since I was five. He was a cherished friend and there are too many memories from our days in English Estates and then of course, Lake Howell. John was a great man. My love goes out to all his family, especially Paula and his children. He is missed but with a loving Saviour!Margaret Marcantel (Brown)
I can see him walking down the hall in High School just like it was yesterday. What a terrible loss for all of us especially his family. May his family's hearts heal in time. God Bless to them all.Amanda Millwood (Schüss)
One of my favorite memories of John was playing 'Good Guys and Bad Guys' - yes, we were very creative at our young age. John and I would be the youngest in the group and my brother Mark as well as Big John (another John and Jeff Van Buskirk) would gang up against us. We would play a very simple version of an English Estates western showdown (complete with timeouts and Kool-Aid). Little John and I had been ambushed with no means of escape except for our cap guns. It was high noon and we were going down in a blaze a glory. My plastic gun was so worn out that it wouldn't make the silly 'pop' sound and in our foxhole John Stu decided to give me the 'real' pop gun that still had some sound. I looked at him with little appreciation as we made our screaming dive out into the open as we unfortunately took on 'pops' from my brother, big John and Jeff. Needless to say - the afternoon ended up swimming in the pool and of course....I kept the good pop gun. :-) John was always looking out for others and he is one of the greatest people that made my childhood a true blessing.To John's entire family ~ I'm terribly sorry for your loss but I assure you so many people will let you know how funny, intelligent, caring and loving John was to so many people. His smile, laughter and freckles will stay with me forever. Much love to you all.

John, Gary and Bobby and Jacob were the nicest guys to me growing up. I am sorry to hear about his battle and I can't believe it has been 3 years. English Estates held great memories and I don't know where the years went. My heart and love goes out to John's entire family. Paula, you had a great guy and I am sorry he is gone. Stay strong forever. With Love JohnithaKen Lindsay
I grew up with John and even as adults we would run into each other every now and then. The words written in his memory are so true. He was always smiling and so kind. I hope his family knows how much he is missed and what a great friend he was. I look forward to seeing him again some day. Amy Houston-LindsayChristine Frankenberger (Deal)
John was one of the nicest and most sincere guys. He was always so positive. The last time I spoke with John he was hitting baseballs with his son at a batting cage he just light up talking about his family and seemed so at peace. We love and miss you. God Bless the Bagley family.Holly Griffin (Griffin-Ferry)
Paula and Family, my condolences. HollyMatthew Lines
Just thinking on you, John. During a period of life when everyone is trying to find their way and establish their identity, you always carried a strength and grace that was very unique. Your memory lives on Brother!
