The son of Joseph and Catherine Eagen, Carl was born December 5, 1937 in Brashear, Missouri. He married Joan Mihalovich on June 16, 1962 in Kirksville, Missouri. Carl graduated from high school in 1955. He and Joan lived in Brashear while their children attended school at Adair County RII School. Carl was a very active parent, school board member, summer softball and baseball coach until 1986 when Carl and Joan moved to the Kansas City area. Carl was a long standing member of the Mary Immaculate Church in Kirksville, Missouri and the Knights of Columbus John F. Kennedy Fourth Degree Counsel. While living in Palmyra, Missouri, he was a member of St. Joseph Parrish, and the Knights of Columbus Counsel 1937. Most recently Carl attended the Good Shepherd Church, Smithville, Missouri. Carl was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 350 in Hannibal, Missouri for 40 years until he retired in 1998. While a member of the IBEW, he served on the Executive Board. Most recently he served on the Clinton County Water Board PWSE in Trimble, Missouri. After retirement Carl and Joan moved back to the Kansas City area to be close to their children and grandchildren. He enjoyed hosting pig roasts, horseshoes, playing cards, being outdoors, deer hunting, gardening and wood working projects. Carl will be remembered for his dry humor, uncanny ability to always assume he was right and enforce the boundaries of his property lines with his pellet gun to keep unwanted pests out.

Carl is survived by his wife, Joan (Mihalovich) Eagen, children, Kelly (Eagen) Daniels, and husband, Ray, of Roeland Park, KS, Karri (Eagen) Merritt, and husband, Mark, of Weston, MO, Kent Eagen, and wife, Shannan, of Weston, MO, Kurt Eagen, and wife, Dawn, of Trimble, MO, Kristin Eagen, of Lakewood, CO, eleven adored grandchildren, Gage Daniels, Ryan Daniels, Seth Eagen, Haley Eagen, Logan Eagen, Grant Eagen, Katelyn Eagen, Quinn Eagen, Madelynn Eagen, Vincent Merritt, and Catherine Merritt, one sister, Loretta (Eagen) Marra, of Eldon, MO, two sisters in law, Anna Eagen (wife of Ernest Eagen) and Mel Eagen (wife of Bill Eagen), both of Kirksville, MO.
