Mr. Bagwell was born May 13, 1935, in Hereford, TX, and after living there only about a week, his parents took him home to grow up in Dimmitt, Texas.
He graduated from Dimmitt High School and completed two years of college at West Texas State in Canyon, TX.

When his father retired, Milton returned to Dimmitt with his young wife, Sandra, and their six children to run the Bagwell family farm. Sandra preceded him in death in 2009, after 54 loving and faithful years together. Milton was a deacon at First Baptist Church, Dimmitt, TX, performing many roles. He also was a member of the Dimmitt Cemetery board for many years. Milton exemplified Jesus’s love to others, not by preaching, but by demonstrating Christ’s genuine patience and kindness, never envying or boasting, as outlined in 1 Corinthians 13.
He will be dearly missed by his wife of twelve years, Gainell Bagwell, and his seven children, Steve Bagwell (Anita), Randy Bagwell, Rick Bagwell, Scott Bagwell (Carolyn), Kyle Bagwell (Sandy), Carol Horner, and Shellie Collins (Kyle).

He is also survived by one sister, Nelda Falwell of Dallas, TX, and numerous nieces and nephews who love him very much.
He was preceded in death by his beloved first wife, Sandra, and his parents Ivor and Hazel (Dunn) Bagwell.
