Mike Hayden, 66, from Victorville, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones. Mike was born in Inglewood, California, grew up in the South Bay, raised his family in Tehachapi, before moving to Victorville.
Kind, easygoing, and a perfectionist, his career and skill set was vast, including mechanics, operations, and construction. Mike had a quirky sense of humor, a keen eye for detail and was a master of emojis. His sparkling blue eyes and mischievous grin will be greatly missed.
He is survived by Janis Hayden, his partner of 44+ years, sons Lawrence Hayden (Monica) and Michael Hayden, daughter Marissa Campbell (Wesley), brother Dennis, and sisters JoAnn and Marcie. He was a doting and loving grandfather, a.k.a. Papa, to 7 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents and his son, Joshua.
