Ava Holland Car Accident Myrtle Beach, SC Death,Obituary: Beloved daughter died in tragic car crash
It is with deep sadness that Mount Pleasant Independent School District shares the loss of one of its students, Ava Claire Hageman, who passed away on December 7, 2025. Born on June 4, 2012, in Dallas, Texas, Ava was a bright and especially beautiful 13-year-old seventh grader whose joyful spirit and tender heart touched everyone who knew her.
Ava had a deep love for God’s creation and found great joy outdoors, where she loved creating, exploring, and wondering at the world around her. She was particularly gifted at fishing and golfing, and she thrived in athletics, enjoying cross country running, softball, and basketball. Exceptionally smart and naturally curious, Ava also had a special gift with children, always patient, playful, and welcoming. She was truly the life of the party.
She is deeply treasured by her parents, Jonathan David Hageman and Jennifer McCauley Hageman, and by her siblings Connor Tinkham, Haven Brittain and her husband Dylan Brittain, and Holland Hageman. Ava was dearly loved by her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Dr. Dan P. McCauley.
A celebration of Ava’s life will be held Thursday, December 11, at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant. Though her passing brings profound grief, her family and community grieve with hope, trusting she is held safely in God’s loving arms.
