My beautiful Hayden I still can't believe it's true. You have left us to live on this earth without you. That wasn't supposed to happen. We will miss you more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for the special times you spent with me. Rest in peace my boy. Gloria

Hayden, Gone from our lives far too soon, but never from our hearts. I will always remember you as the sweet baby born just eight days after Carlo — the two of you, inseparable from the start. So many beautiful memories that will never fade. To Jax, Danielle, Tyler, Paul, and all of Hayden’s loved ones — Wishing you strength to face each day, and peace in the love and memories Hayden leaves behind. You are held in our thoughts and hearts always. With love and deepest sympathy, Angie, Carlo and Bella

Remembering Hayden, a bright light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His kindness and shy laughter and warmth he brought to those around him will never be forgotten. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made will endure forever. To his family, no words can ease the pain. May you find comfort in the beautiful moments you shared with him and may his legacy continue to shine. Rest is peace Hayden. You will be missed

Cookie, you were one of the most kind, most loyal and most forgiving people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You were the loudest in the room and constantly had something cheeky to say. I will miss our calls. I'll miss you sending me little snippets of your latest song you've made. Homie. I'll just miss your voice. I love you loads. 💙

Dear Hayden, You were a light far too bright for this world, and even though your time here was short, the love and strength you carried left a mark on everyone around you. You faced the unimaginable with courage and inspired us all. Though you are no longer here in body, your spirit lives on — in your mother’s heart, in the smiles of your siblings, and in every memory you gifted us. You will never be forgotten. Fly high, sweet soul. With love, always. Melina and John P.S: There will always be ice cream in our freezer for you — just like the good old days.

My dearest Jackie, Please accept our deepest sympathies for the heartbreaking loss of your beautiful boy, Hayden. There are simply no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so young, so full of life, and so deeply loved. Hayden, I still remember the day your family moved into the close in Lonehill—how excited you all were, full of hope and laughter. Hearing you and Danielle laugh while swimming, Blossom barking in the background, filled our hearts with joy. Those were such happy, carefree days. Your home was filled with warmth and love, and just knowing you were next door brought comfort to us all. I’ll never forget when your mom decided it was time for you to have your own bedroom and bathroom—it felt like such a milestone. You were growing into such a kind, adventurous young man, always smiling, always full of energy. You loved life, and those weekend bike rides with your dad were something truly special. The day we heard that you were emigrating was incredibly difficult. It felt like we were losing family. Because that’s what you had become to us—more than neighbours, you were part of our hearts. And now, our hearts are broken once again. The loss is immense, and the silence left behind is deafening. Fly high with the angels, our sweet boytjie. You’ll always be remembered, always loved, and forever missed. To Paul, Jackie, Danielle, and Tyler—stay strong. You are in our thoughts and prayers every moment. We send you all our love and support from South Africa. With love, Ashe and Morne
