In Celebration of
Dave Hayden
February 27, 1955 –
October 14, 2022
Dave was many things to many people.
He was the adored husband of Marilyn, and the loving and supportive father of Chris (Mark), Carrie (Erik) and Matthew. He was a wonderful big brother to Jim (Glenna), Judy, Danny (Lori) and Steve (Natalie). He was also a brother-in-law, an uncle to many nieces and nephews, a dog grandfather and a friend to many.
He was a very special man. He was a teacher, mentor, father figure, photographer, birder, cyclist, hiker, grill master, bourbon enthusiast, craft beer lover, road tripper, world traveller, Tragically Hip fan, author, IT guy, tomato cultivator, artisan bread baker, foodie and a generous
host.
He was kind, caring and gentle. He was humourous, talented, vibrant, awesome, amazing and cool. He was resilient, tenacious and fought to the end. He was an inspiration and one of a kind.
He is gone too soon, but loved forever.
A special time to remember Dave will be held at Turner and Porter, 2180 Hurontario St., Mississauga on Saturday, November the 12th, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Memories will be shared at 2:30. Please feel free to dress casually, as he would have preferred.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Pancreatic Cancer Canada, the Trillium Health Network or the Bruce Trail Conservancy.

Death notice for the town of: Mississauga, Province: Ontario
I am very sorry to hear about Dave’s passing. I shared Dave’s passion of photography. I always looked forward to seeing his bird images on Instagram and enjoyed shooting sunrise and full moon with him in Humber Bay Park a few times. Although, I didn’t know Dave well it was evident the love he had for life and his family. Thinking of you all at this very difficult time. Leanne Hay
