Klamath Falls, Ore. – Longtime Oregon Tech softball assistant coach and 2024 Howard Morris Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Fagan, passed away on Saturday at the age of 71 after a long battle with cancer. A mainstay around the OIT campus for 50 years, Fagan played baseball for the Owls in the 1970s, earning All-District honors in 1976. He transitioned his playing skills into coaching – assisting for the baseball program for four years and the softball program for 20 – helping Mary Bradford, Danny Miles and Greg Stewart win 10 conference titles and the 2011 NAIA National Championship. His body will be laid to rest at the Fort Klamath Historic Cemetery. Please join the family in a Celebration of Life reception this Saturday (Jan. 31) at 1 p.m. in the Oregon Tech College Union.
