It is with profound sadness that we share the passing
of our beloved father, John Eagle Wagner (Salmas), at the age of 65. He passed peace- fully at home, surrounded by family and friends.
John was a graduate of Kern Valley High and was the first DJ for our local radio sta- tion KVLI. He proudly served in the United States Army
as a Radio Communications Specialist, where he distin- guished himself and achieved the rank of Sergeant.
John was a man of im-
mense humor and wisdom, and he cherished every mo- ment spent with loved ones. His passion for music, family, friends, and his unwavering spirit will forever be remem- bered.
He was preceded in death by his sister Trinket, brother Joseph Wagner, and parents Bruce and Shirley Wagner.
He is survived by his daughters Tiffany Rhian-
non (James) Robertson and Lacey Jade (John) Mann. Grandchildren Trenton, Brooklynn, Kynadee, Kassidy
and Murphy. Siblings Danny, Shirlin, Jack, Mary, and Shelly. Sister in love, Margie Ruotsala. God-daughter Liebra Mooney, nephew Clint Phillips and mother of his daughters Barbara Wilde. As well as many nieces, neph- ews, and countless friends.
A private graveside service will be held at Bakersfield National Cemetery for his family. A Celebration of Life will be held, Saturday, May 31st, 2025 at 1:00 PM at the Lake Isabella VFW on 2811 Nugget Ave. Chinga! Chinga!
