Louis Douglas Wallgren

Louis "Lou" Wallgren June 15, 1935 – November 22, 2024

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Louis "Lou" Wallgren, who left this world peacefully on November 22, 2024, at the age of 89. Born on June 15, 1935, in Stratford, Oklahoma, Lou was the beloved son of Virgil and Alice Wallgren.

Lou lived a life defined by love, service, and unwavering devotion to his family and country. A proud United States Air Force veteran, he honorably served from September 1, 1954, to November 30, 1974, dedicating 20 years to defending and protecting the nation he cherished.

Beyond his military career, Lou found joy in life’s simple pleasures. An avid outdoorsman, he had a deep love for fishing and hunting, always eager to cast a line or explore the beauty of nature. But above all, his greatest joy was his family.

Lou was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Alice Wallgren; brothers, Virgil and Glen; sister, Alice; his beloved wife of 62 years, Carolyn Lucille "Lucy" Wallgren; and his loving son, Larry.

He is survived by his sons, Chuck and wife Candy, Mike and wife Marty, Bruce and wife Pam, and Brian; eight grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.

A celebration of Lou’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at Schertz Funeral Home. His family invites all who loved him to join in honoring the remarkable man he was and the cherished memories he leaves behind.

Though he is no longer with us, Lou’s spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
