Aaron Joseph Haggard
June 14, 1938 — September 10, 2018
My Father Aaron Joseph Haggard was born on June 14, 1938 and passed away September 10, 2018 at Northridge Medical Center surrounded by people who loved him. He was eighty years old.
He was a former carpenter and brick mason and he was of the Baptist faith.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Sam and Reecie Allen Haggard; brothers, Charles Haggard, Roy Haggard, and Ted Haggard; sister, Helen Haynes; and step-daughter, Teressa Reed. They are all greatly missed.
Survivors include his wife of fifty three years, Carolyn Haggard; daughter, Nita Haggard; and step-daughter, Lisa (Jason) Hill. I would also like to mention Tommy Lord, Donna Dalton and Angie Hooper. Grandchildren, Jessica Latimer, Heather (Pedro) Cayuela, and Christa Harrison; great-grandchildren, Austin Latimer, Tyler Harris, Elaina Harrison, Sawyer Cayuela, and Blakely Cayuela; brothers, Allan (Carol) Haggard, Harvey Joe (Lucy) Haggard, and Mitchell (Patricia) Haggard; sisters, Jackie Reed and Mona (John) Wagner; and numerous nieces and nephews. Forgive me for not naming you all. We love you just the same.
Funeral services will be held 11 am Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 at Ivie Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Larry Dyer officiating. Burial will follow in Galilee Holiness Cemetery. The family will receive friends 10 am until time of the service Thursday at the funeral home.
"A Letter from your Daughter"
Daddy,
I love you more than you'll ever know. We didn't always get along, but when it was all said and done, we still loved each other. God help the person who tried to come between me and my Daddy!
Today I stood in the emergency room, holding your hand and talking to you. I know you could hear me even though you couldn't talk. I hope I told you some things that gave you comfort as you slipped away. When I saw you take your last two breaths, I knew my Daddy was gone. What a bitter-sweet moment. Bitter because you were leaving me, and sweet because I knew you would never feel pain again. Just two easy breath's and you were gone.
About thirty years ago you wrote a poem called "The Falling of the Leaves." In it you talked about death and how everything has a time and a season to die, even the beautiful leaves of Fall. How ironic that you left us just as Autumn approaches. Almost as if you knew.
I love you Daddy and I miss you already. Rest in Peace.
Your Daughter,
Nita
