1 Corinthians 13: 1113 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; but when I became a man (woman), I put away childish things. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And these three abide: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.

Charles "Chuck" Hageman of Yuba City, passed away Monday, September 20, 2021, at the age of 76. He was born February 6, 1945, to Ruth and Leo Hageman. Chuck grew up and lived his entire life in Yuba City.
Chuck was one of those individuals who spoke very little but his presence spoke volumes. Whether it was just an utterance of a few words or his grunts about an unfavorable situation, you always knew where he stood. His love for his family, butterflies, his 1939 Chevy two door coupe and the tree filled orchards showed his passion for the things that mattered most. However, he lived a quiet life with a large footprint that people will be able to see for years to come.
Very few people knew that Chuck had a large private butterfly collection, one of the largest in North America for Northern California butterflies. One of Chuck's many journeys with friends was along Sierra Nevada Mountains both north and south of Yuba City, where he helped in the study of a new sub-species of butterfly. In fact, this butterfly was named Speyeria Callippe Hagemani in his honor for his knowledge, and many years of field research of California butterflies. Specimens of the new butterfly are deposited and can be seen at the Los Angeles County National Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, California. Chuck left a collection of Butterflies to several different museums across the United States to i nclude UC Davis Bohart Museum and Mcguire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at t he Uni - versity of Florida.
Chuck is survived by his loving and supporting wife, Cathy Hageman, who often joined him on his "hunt" for butterflies with numerous other friends and family members. As all who knew him and no one knew him better than Cathy will agree that Chuck may have been stubborn as a mule at times but he had a heart of gold.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Ruth and Leo Hageman; and brother, Richard Burk.
He is survived by his children, daughter, Tina Biles, and son, Charles "Chuck" Hageman, III (Leah); brother, David Hageman (Judi); four grandchildren, Ashley and Brooke Biles, and Kaitlyn and Dillon Hageman
A private Memorial will be at a later date.
