It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Deputy Keith Hagen, a dedicated member of the Bay County Sheriff’s Office and a proud veteran who faithfully served our country. For the past nine years, Keith has served the citizens of Bay County with honor, integrity, and commitment. He was not only a respected deputy, but also a trusted friend, teammate, and leader to many within our agency and community.

Keith’s life was defined by service — first to his nation in the military, and then to his community in law enforcement. He answered the call to protect others, often placing the needs of those around him before his own. His presence, professionalism, and steady character left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.

As his family navigates this incredibly difficult time, they are facing the unexpected financial burdens that come with such a profound loss. We are asking for your support to help ease the financial strain of funeral arrangements and other related expenses, allowing his loved ones the space and time to grieve without additional worry.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give financially, we ask that you keep Keith’s family in your thoughts and prayers and share this page to help us support them during this time.

Thank you for honoring Deputy Hagen’s life of service and for standing beside his family when they need it most.

This fundraiser was set up by Stephen Jencks, a co-worker of Keith, to benefit Allison Hagen and family after the loss of Allison's husband.
