SPRING VALLEY, WI — With heartfelt sorrow, the family and community of James “Jamie” Hague Jr. announce his passing on June 29, 2025, at his home in Spring Lake Township.

Whether he was lending a hand to a neighbor, sharing a good story, or enjoying the peaceful beauty of rural Wisconsin, Jamie’s presence brought comfort and joy to those around him.

Honoring Jamie’s Life

A visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Keehr Funeral Home in Spring Valley. A memorial service celebrating Jamie’s life and legacy will follow on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Spring Lake Lutheran Church, a place of faith and fellowship dear to Jamie and his family.

These gatherings offer friends, extended family, and community members the chance to come together in remembrance, to share stories, and to offer condolences to one another during this time of grief and reflection.

A Legacy of Kindness and Community

Though Jamie may have lived a quiet life in Spring Lake Township, his impact was far from small. He was known for his deep ties to the land, his love for nature, and the simple pleasures of life. His relationships reflected his values: honesty, loyalty, and kindness.

Family members recall Jamie’s unwavering dependability — always the first to show up when help was needed and the last to leave when a job wasn’t done. Friends describe him as someone who always had a light-hearted quip or a steady hand in difficult times. He was a man who lived with humility but gave so much to those lucky enough to know him.

In a time when genuine connection is rare, Jamie’s authenticity stood out. He didn’t need recognition to make a difference — he simply showed up, time and time again, with a warm smile and helping hands.
