Quacere Chase Hagans

Quacere “Chase” Hagans was a 15‑year‑old from Coram, New York, whose life touched the family and community around him. Known to those close as Chase, he was a son and a young person with a life full of promise. Public records and family notices show that his funeral services were arranged through Joseph A. Slinger‑Hasgill Funeral Services in Amityville in April 2026, reflecting the care of relatives and community who gathered to honor him.

Though the public record available in news coverage focuses on the tragic circumstances of his death, the details that identify him—his full name, his age, and his ties to Coram—make clear that Quacere was a real young person with relationships and a family who sought to commemorate him. He is remembered by the community using the affectionate name “Chase,” and family announcements show services held in late April 2026, a sign that loved ones had the opportunity to come together to mourn and to celebrate his life.

There are few publicly posted personal details beyond his age, hometown, and the memorial arrangements. Out of respect for the family and because reliable public sources do not provide a fuller personal history, this remembrance honors the person those facts represent: a teenager whose years should have held decades more of growth, learning, and ordinary joys. The sparse record does not diminish the value of his life—rather, it reminds us that even brief lives create deep ripples in families, schools, and neighborhoods.

Friends, relatives, and neighbors who wish to share memories, photos, or tributes often do so through funeral home tribute pages and community memorials; family‑authorized tributes were posted with service information in April 2026. For anyone seeking to honor Quacere’s memory, donating to or posting a remembrance on those official tribute pages is a way to support the family and keep his name remembered.

Quacere’s life—brief, loved, and memorialized by family and community—deserves to be spoken of first as the life of a young person known to his family, not only as the subject of headlines. May the memory of Quacere “Chase” Hagans be held gently by those who loved him.
