George Philip Fagan on the morning of December 14th, 2005, George Philip Fagan 
passed away after a long illness. He was born in Phoenix in 1924 to John Jay and 
Helen Hirst Fagan and was proud to be a second generation native Arizonan. Growing 
up, he loved team sports and lettered in football, basketball and baseball at North 
Phoenix High School. As an adult he played golf, polo and tennis and became an avid 
Diamondbacks fan. He and his wife Barbara raised Arabian horses (in addition to their 
three children!) and learned and thoroughly enjoyed dressage riding later in life. Phil 
served his country as a night fighter pilot, with the rank of Major, during WWII and 
afterward in the National Guard. After the war, he attended Phoenix College and then 
becoming a general contractor, developer and consultant in the construction industry. 
His housing developments in Phoenix and Prescott reflect his skills for fitting houses 
into hillsides and preserving the desert ecology. Ocotillo Hills in Phoenix and Vista del 
Cerro in Prescott are two examples of his talent. He is pre-deceased by brother, John 
Fagan. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Barbara Fagan of Prescott; brother, 
Robert Fagan and his wife Marjorie of Portal; sister, Harriet Johnston of Portal, 
Geraldine Fagan of Alpine, widow of John. In addition, he leaves behind his son, 
Timothy Fagan MD and his wife Mary of Tucson; daughter, Carol Dombey and her 
husband Craig of Prescott; son, Larry Fagan and his wife Donna of Prescott; 
grandsons, Ian Fagan, Daniel Dombey and Ryan Fagan and granddaughters, Darcy 
Dombey, Elissa Carter and Sarah Mackie. 
There will be a private family service in Phoenix at the National Veteran's Memorial 
Cemetery in North Phoenix with military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests 
donations to the Alzheimer's Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Floor 17, Chicago, IL 
60601-7633 or to the Margaret T. Morris Center, 878 Sunset Ave., Prescott, AZ
