| About | John Patrick Hague March 25, 1965-January 31, 2021 John Patrick Hague, 55, of Mansfield Township, died January 31, after a short illness. An employee at Blue Ridge Lumber in Hackettstown, John was also a 38-year member of the Tri-County Fire Company, eventually working his way up to Fire Chief and President of the Fire Company, a title he still proudly held at the time of his death. John is survived by his two sons, John Robert (Hailey) and Daniel Jacob, his mother Kathleen (Neilan) Hague, his sister Jacqueline, his uncle James (Mary Costello) and his best friend John Doug Ort (Michelle). John’s father, John Francis, infant son Patrick John and mentor Philip Hazen predeceased John and welcomed John when he arrived at the Gates of Heaven. Born in Newark and an early resident of East Orange, John moved with his parents Jack and Kathy to Mansfield Township in 1966, where he quickly became entrenched in Warren County life. As a youngster, John was already working at nearby Hazen’s Farm and was an award-winning member of the Future Farmers of America at Warren Hills Regional High School, where John was a 1983 graduate. John was so totally enamored with all aspects of farming -- raising cows, baling hay, growing corn and soy were all foundations of John’s young life into adulthood, with Phil Hazen teaching John every little nuance of farming life. John’s other passion was helping others. From the minute he was old enough to join, he was a member of the Mansfield Township Rescue Squad, eventually becoming an EMT and lifetime member. For nearly 40 years, John was a dedicated volunteer member of Tri-County Fire Company, which is headquartered in Mansfield. He worked up the officer rank, going from Fair Chairman to his lifetime goal of Chief. His dedication to the Fire Company was so intense that he encouraged both of his sons to become members of the company as well, serving their community well. John was also a graduate of Warren County Tech Nursing School with an NJLPN license in 1993. He worked at Heath Village and the office of Emergency Management for Warren County. He took over the Backstage Restaurant when his father died and then joined Home Depot. His employment at Blue Ridge Lumber in Hackettstown was his recent success as John could sell anything. He scored the highest sales test score at his father’s insurance agency and reach Diamond in sales at Home Depot. He was proud of his contractor relationships and sales achievements. Besides his personal achievements, John’s proudest moments came from his two sons, who meant everything to him. John was so proud when each one of them chose to join him as members of the Tri-County Fire Company. The other favorite events for John were watching his oldest son graduate from Full Sail University and then visiting his youngest at the United States Army’s Fort Lewis. Funeral services are being handled by Cochran’s Funeral Home in Hackettstown. Visiting will be Friday, Feb. 5 from 4 to 8 p.m. A fireman’s full funeral procession will gather Saturday, Feb. 6 at 9:30 a.m. at Cochran’s to proceed to Our Lady of the Mountain Roman Catholic Church in Schooley’s Mountain where Mass will be held at 11:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made in the memory of John P. Hague to the Tri-County Fire Department. |
