In a deeply emotional statement released earlier today, Pastor John Hagee, founder of Cornerstone Church and a prominent evangelical leader, confirmed the tragic passing of his son, Pastor Matt Hagee. According to the official report, Matt succumbed to complications following a rare and unexpected food-related concussion incident.
The incident reportedly occurred during a private family gathering earlier this week, where Matt suffered a severe head injury after choking and collapsing due to a violent allergic reaction. While initial medical response was prompt, doctors later confirmed that the trauma from the fall resulted in a concussion that led to swelling in the brain. Despite extensive efforts to save him, Matt passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
John Hagee expressed his sorrow in a heartfelt message to the congregation and supporters:
*”Our hearts are broken beyond words. Matt was not only my beloved son but also a spiritual leader, a devoted husband, and a loving father. His passion for God’s word and his unwavering commitment to the church family will forever be remembered.”*
Matt Hagee, who had taken on a lead pastoral role at Cornerstone Church in recent years, was widely respected for his dynamic preaching, leadership, and strong community outreach. His passing leaves a profound void not only within his family but also in the global faith community.
Supporters around the world have begun offering prayers, tributes, and condolences through social media and the church’s official platforms. A memorial service is expected to be held at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, with details to be announced soon.
As the Hagee family mourns, the broader evangelical community stands in solidarity, honoring a life dedicated to faith, family,and service.
