Hey folks. It's 2025 and I know it's been a while since I wrote and/or updated our news. So, where to start...
The fall of 2024 started out as a normal fall for us until the morning of October 26th. While on a Saturday morning walk with my bride, we received a phone call telling us that our son Hayden had suddenly passed away. Hayden had diagnosed in 2010 with an autoimmune disease called "Ankylosing spondylitis" or (AS). It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues and organs and targets the joints in the spine, , and leads to crippling inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
Hayden always weathered his condition with great faith and grace. He knew that the Lord was using it as a testimony to those around him.
Hayden had a music career as the drummer for the rock band, RED. In more recent years he was working with artist like Tobi Mac, Mac Powell, comedian Tim Hawkins, and others. Over the last few years, as his condition worsened, he was forced to work from home. We never thought that he would graduate to heaven at the young age of 39. We miss him everyday.
Please keep our family, including his sweet bride Nicole in your prayers as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
Peace. Brent
