March 19, 1977 – October 11, 2021

thomas-jaggers-las-vegas-nv-obituaryTommy Jaggers, 44, who had worked for the Teamsters Union and spent many years as a distribution sales manager, was born in Las Vegas to Jon and Christine Jaggers. He graduated from Valley High School where he was on the golf team and later attended UNLV. He enjoyed traveling and loved spending time in Newport Beach, Calif. He had a huge personality and lit up every room he entered with laughter and good times. Family was the most important thing to him.

Friends shared their memories of devotion to family and his personality in his online guestbook:

“So sad to hear the news of our friend Tommy. The world has lost an amazing soul but heaven has gained an awesome angel. CJ and I knew you and Jimmy would be good friends from the start—always showing up in a good mood with a big smile. He and Jimmy both and sharing great stories and making sure we were taken care of with cold ice water on a hot summer day. You will be dearly missed, Tommy, and our thoughts and prayers for Jimmy and the rest of the family. RIP Tommy—give my dad a hug for me. Your friends forever,” — Sara and C.J. Magallanes

Tommy Jaggers biking“I knew Tommy through my brother Nik—he was also my neighbor and a good friend for the past eight years. He was definitely one of a kind. Always joking. Always asking about my kids and their sports. He loved his family, we had many conversations about them. Tommy and Jimmy would come pick up my dogs every morning to take them for a walk and afternoon, he loved my Trump! I knew if my girls or I needed something all we had to do was ask and he wouldn’t hesitate. My prayers to his family and especially to Jimmy. They did everything together. You never saw one without the other. You will be missed Tommy. RIP” LOVE, — Arlene McRae
