Both Sheri and Carlin embody the true spirit of compassion, demonstrating it in very different ways, yet both have touched the lives of countless individuals.

I will truly miss Sheri running around the church, going above and beyond with the children’s ministry. That woman has true patience. Instructing the instructors as well as corralling the littles that are running amuck.

And then there’s Carlin, who I first met when he taught music to the creative students at Lassen High School. When he stopped teaching at the high school, he still continued to bless others with his musical abilities, volunteering his time to bring music to the youth programs at the church.

They clearly have a very unique gift for ministry to children, and our county was incredibly blessed to have them for as long as we did.

The two of them are about as cute as it can get in reference to being a married couple. Just complete respect and admiration between the two of them. I have watched them for many years and, whether they know it or not, I looked up to them and their marriage in so many ways.

You just can’t help but feel safe when you are around either one of them. It is a very rare characteristic and one that I will miss so much when they leave.

The impact of Sheri and Carlin Hagen’s selflessness has not gone unnoticed. Their compassion has been recognized through numerous community accolades, highlighting their exceptional commitment to service. However, it is their humility and genuine desire to create positive change that truly sets them apart.

In Sheri and Carlin Hagen, Lassen County has been blessed with two remarkable individuals whose kindness, empathy, and commitment to serving others are an inspiration to us all. Their unwavering dedication to making a difference has made Lassen County a better place, and their legacy will continue to uplift and inspire future generations.

Mr. and Mrs. Hagen, I know that on this new part of your journey, you will be an absolute blessing to whatever community you are a part of, but I want you to know that you two will forever be two of the reasons I love where we live.

“E-628 with assistance from Cal Fire and Lassen National Forest, deployed hose lays to stop forward progress and contain the fire,” explains Fire Chief James Moore.

“Forward progress was stopped, crews cut hand line and performed 100% mop-up. The fire was extinguished at just over an acre.”

According to Chief Moore, the cause of the fire was determined to be human-caused and is currently under investigation. There were no firefighters or civilian injuries.
