James H. Hayden

James H. Hayden was granted his heart’s desire and was taken home to glory on Feb. 12, 2020. Family members were near and able to say goodbye before he passed.

We invite those who knew Jim to join the family in remembering him at a memorial reception at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24, at Owens Livingston Mortuary in Holbrook.

Jim was born in Kentucky 80 years ago and lived a full life. He spent many years in the Army before traveling the country with his loving wife Susan. They settled in Arizona to raise their children. Jim served as Scoutmaster of Troop No. 7053, challenging scouts to persevere through many hikes and camporees during their time with him. He loved Jesus and his family, spending many joyful hours with his children and grandchildren.

Jim is survived by his wife, Susan Hayden; his children, Debbie Hayden Kimmell, Paul Hayden, Carolyn Davis, Daniel Hayden and Stephen Hayden; as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Owens Livingston Mortuary handled the arrangements.
