Mark Hagenian
Mark Joseph Hagenian, 68, a lifelong resident of Lincoln, passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway in Albany, N.H. on October 15.
Devoted son of Irene R. Hagenian of Lincoln and the late Joseph C. Hagenian, Mark was the adoring father of Nicholas, Stephen, and William Hagenian, all of Lincoln. He was the brother of Ann McManus and her husband Russ of Hancock, N.H., and the late Charles Hagenian. Mark is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and friends.
A 1970 graduate of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, Mark furthered his education at Western New England College. Mark began his career at Swanson Pontiac in Lincoln and later became a mechanic at the dealership. He spent many years as a manager at American Food Holding Corp., which owned and operated restaurants across Massachusetts, including almost 30 years at Jimmy’s On The Mall in Burlington. In recent years he worked as a dispatcher for Corporate Limousine in Woburn.
He loved spending time with his family and being outdoors enjoying nature. He enjoyed fishing, camping trips to Newfound Lake, N.H., and vacations in Wells, Maine and at The Balsams in Colebrook, N.H.. He was an excellent cook, and he enjoyed his hours in the vegetable and flower gardens.
Mark was a longtime member of Grace Chapel Church in Lexington where he enjoyed deepening and sharing faith with his fellow church members. At Grace Chapel, he was a member of the Shine Program, which taught religious education to individuals with learning disabilities.
Mark recently felt a renewed excitement for motorcycling. His motorcycle, a 2019 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic Softail, was his pride and joy; he put thousands of miles on it in the last half year. He loved taking day trips all over Cape Cod, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. Lately, he often would pick a destination from his past and take a ride to revisit it. He would then send a picture to his mom, sister, sons, or friends, having them guess where he was from the photograph. The day of his accident, he was riding the Kancamagus, appreciating the peak fall colors.
Mark will be interred alongside his father and brother at Lincoln Cemetery on Friday, October 30 at 11 a.m., with his friend and minister from Grace Chapel, Reverend Cynthia Fantasia, officiating. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Mark’s name may be made to Grace Chapel, 3 Militia Drive, Lexington, MA 02421. Arrangements by the Edward V. Sullivan Funeral Home in Burlington. Click here for the online guestbook.
