William Haydon Osborne of Indianapolis, Indiana passed away on November 19, 2021, at the age of 29. He was born on January 24, 1992. He was a beloved husband, son, brother, grandson, nephew, son-in-law, cousin, and friend. He is survived by his wife Megan Patterson, his mother Madeline Hapak, father Thomas M. Osborne, Sr., brothers Thomas Jr. and Charlie Osborne, and sister Mary Charlotte Osborne. His dog, Glenda, was a light in his life. Haydon graduated from Park Tudor High School in Indianapolis and was a Global Scholar and recipient of the Park Tudor Honor Scholarship for academic achievement and character. He was a member of the baseball, football, and the speech and debate teams. Haydon also volunteered at a local hospital. He started to hone his musical talent around this time teaching himself to play electric and acoustic guitar and writing original music. He formed many bands and had concerts for his adoring fans from school. Haydon's high school summer jobs were at Park Tudor on the maintenance staff and as a caddy at the Crooked Stick Golf Club. Haydon obtained a Civil Engineering and Environmental Degree with LEED certification from Vanderbilt University in Nashville. He was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. Nashville was the perfect place for Haydon to absorb all the musical influences from the city and applied this in expanding his musical talents and enjoyed playing at several Nashville spots with his friends. Haydon was currently a DDS candidate at the Indiana University School of Dentistry class of 2023. It was his hope to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Francis M. Hapak, DDS, MS. Haydon began his professional career at Turner Construction in Chicago as a project manager building the largest runway at O'Hare International Airport, 10R 28L. He went on to Sevan Multi Site Solutions in Chicago as a project manager supporting Walgreens Boots Alliance. Haydon passionately pursued music, history, travel, and reading. When Haydon got excited about his interests, he was all in. For example, he woke up at 3 am to sit on the beach in Florida to watch the most recent Space X launch. The Beach Boys and the Beatles were his all-time favorite bands and he recently traveled to London to attend a rare public opening of Abbey Road Studios; Haydon said afterward that this was among his favorite adventures he had ever had. In the past year, he discovered his passion for yoga and found a great community at CITYOGA. He founded a recording studio called Yandes Sound Studio and spent many happy hours recording, producing and writing his music. Haydon's foundation and moral compass was that of being a selfless and good human being. He was driven, had an intellectually curious mind, and valued being a caring and listening friend. Above all, he loved his family and friends deeply. Heaven has gained a special angel. Contributions in memory of Haydon can be made to Guitars in the Classroom and Park Tudor School. There will be a celebration of life at the Skyline Club in Indianapolis on Wednesday, November 24 from 2-5pm.
