Robert B. Hagood, age 64, of Wilmington, Delaware, formerly of Barnwell, South Carolina, passed away on September 28, 2026, at Wilmington Hospital.
He was a graduate of Clemson University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1984.
Robert dedicated 37 years of his career to DuPont and Chemours, working in a variety of locations and positions before ultimately settling in the Tyvek house wrap business in Wilmington, Delaware. His work interfacing with customers and specifiers was especially rewarding, allowing him to utilize his natural people skills while helping the business grow and succeed. He was a long-term member of the DuPont Country Club.
A devoted music enthusiast, Robert enjoyed exploring new and emerging artists with his son, Jack, and others. He especially enjoyed listening to WXPN in Philadelphia, as well as stepping back in time to enjoy the best of 1980s pop and alternative rock.
Robert and his wife, Laura, were avid Philadelphia Phillies fans and held season tickets for many years, creating countless memories together at the ballpark.
He was also a passionate Clemson University football fan. During Clemson games, watching his beloved Tigers always took precedence over anything else. His enthusiasm for Clemson football was a cherished part of who he was.
Robert will be lovingly remembered for his dedication to his family, his genuine people skills, his love of music and sports, and the many friendships he formed throughout his life.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Laura Hagood; his son, Jack Hagood; his brothers, Brew Hagood (Libby) and Barrett Hagood (Cindy); his sisters, Elizabeth Craver (Billy) and Betts Funderburk (Mark); and his extended family, all of South Carolina and Georgia.
A celebration of Robert’s life will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, at a later date.
