William was born May 9, 2007 in Maryland to Michael Dennis Hagerty, Jr. and Anna Michele (Doerfler) Hagerty. Over his seventeen years of life, William moved ten times as a military child including both stateside and overseas locations. William was a senior at Pinecrest High School. He was involved in scouting for eight years, had earned the rank of Life Scout, and was only a few steps away from becoming an Eagle Scout. William was an avid outdoorsman who especially loved to duck hunt with his family. He was a devout Catholic who prayed the rosary often and volunteered to assist with confirmation classes. William was an avid reader who loved traveling and enjoyed trying new foods. William was a dedicated weightlifter who never missed a day at the gym (He would want me to add that his personal best 1-rep max on the bench was 340lbs). William was a gentle giant with a heart of gold and a contagious smile.
William is survived by his parents, Michael and Anna Hagerty of Southern Pines; his siblings, Michael, Catherine, Sarah, Emily, Colin, and Megan Hagerty; grandparents, Chris and Betsy Doerfler of Southern Pines, and Mike and Rita Hagerty of Ernul, NC.
