Tim was born on March 3, 1991 to John and Cynthia Berteletti Hagan in Canton, MA. The family moved to Bismarck in 2000. After moving to Bismarck, Tim played hockey and soccer. Tim played summer soccer for Capital City Soccer Club. When Tim was in the U10 division, his team won the tournament in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Tim also played soccer for Horizon Middle School. Tim continued to play soccer through his sophomore year in high school. Tim also loved Scouting. Tim’s mom was the den leader, and his dad went on all the campouts. When Tim did his wilderness survival badge, it both rained and snowed on him. Luckily the shelter he built for himself kept him dry through the night. When Tim started school at Centennial Elementary, he met Matt Lafferty and Lukas Neumann. They became his best friends. Matt’s dad dubbed them the Three Musketeers. Lukas got Tim interested in playing guitar. Tim played the bass guitar in the school band. Matt eventually got Tim to tryout for tennis in his senior year of high school. In high school, Tim met Austin Link. Austin loved Tae Kwan Do so much; he got Tim and Matt Lafferty to study martial arts as well. Tim participated in the Science Olympiad, Knowledge Masters, and helped out in drama with the backgrounds, sound, and lighting. He enjoyed chemistry and physics experiments, especially the “exploding pickle”. Tim, after crashing his sister’s car, rebuilt it. Tim rebuilt the brakes on his dad’s motorcycle, and enjoyed riding through the fall. His other interests included music, Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft, mythology, cattle ranching in California, and building computers. Tim is survived by his parents John and Cynthia Hagan of Bismarck, his brother, John, his sisters Shannon and Beth Hagan all of Bismarck; and his grandmother, Virginia Hagan of Canton, MA. Tim was preceded in death by his grandfather, John Hagan; grandparents, Arthur and Jeanne Berteletti; and his aunt, Carole Berteletti. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to Tim’s favorite charity www.AutismDayWA.com.
