Hayden was a really good kid. He laughed a lot, he was loved by every single one of his peers. Anyone that knows him loves him. He had a great personality and he will be missed by a lot of people, including me and I have only known him for a short period of time. He did not deserve what he got. I wish my friend Rylan told me sooner so that I could do something to help. Rest in peace, man. I hope that you know that you will be missed by a lot. I also want you to know that you had a great impact on the community of Mountain View. May the Lord be with you in heaven.

Gosh.  Wow.  My words are not here.  I am really quite shocked and am sending you ALL many prayers right now.   Unbearable, unbelievable times you are in right now.  SO SORRY...........
Grieving is one's own process.  My Pastor once told me that in these times it is hard to find words and I am belieiving it. 

Hayden is my (or I say :-) ) 'Birthday Buddy' His B-Day is 2 days before mine.    

I am not on Facebook much at all anymore but something brought me there this morning and Ethan's post was the first in my feed.

God Bless You All.

I worked at A G Wright for several years and moved up to Mountain View for this year and have been in many classes with Hayden. He was such a bright young man with a clever sense of humor. He would always have his friends laughing at every turn. This year up at MVHS in particular he seemed to have a whole new glow and energy to him. He will truly be missed by many. Your family is in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

Me and Yasmin both loved you very dearly.
It hurts to see you go but I know you will always be there and I'll still be there for you (btw.. Hayden.. I'm still making your fursuit! <3)

Hayden was a good friend who was fun to sit next to in computer information.  I will miss him a lot.

We extend our heartfelt condolences during this time of unimaginable sorrow. We made a conribution to the Stafford SPCA in Hayden's memory.

Hayden and I have been friends for a long time. I will miss him every day. He was a goofy, funny and lovable person. He was always laughing and joking. I am so sorry that Hayden was sad and I didn’t know. I wished I could have helped him. I will always remember him and his smile. I think about the last time I saw him and he was smiling   That’s how I will always remember him-happy- Rest in peace my brother. Fly high. Love you!

Rest in peace Hayden. Even though we never interacted much you always had a smile on your face. We are so sorry you had to go through such a tough time and felt like you had no one to talk to. I wish you and your family the best. Even though it will be hard we hope that Hayden is in a better and happier place.

Hayden will be missed dearly, he was very loved, and had many friends and family who cared about him.  He was a very strong person, always there for the people he loved, always trying to support others.  He was like a brother to me.

Had so much fun that day we kept playing mini golf and we went crazy while playing it was great👍

Hayden was a great kid always supportive funny caring. Had lots of jokes and stories always active. He was a great friend. He will be missed..

Hayden was truly a positive light that shined in so many people's lives. I would see him a few times a week when our JROTC classes would mix together. He was always willing to try at something new and would continue to work and work to accomplish his goal. While he had goals of his own he wanted to achieve, he was always wanting to see others succeed. He was always willing to help and work with others, and was so proud of them in their accomplishments. His caring nature and beautiful personality is something that will deeply be missed, especially in our JROTC family. I am so grateful that I had the privilege to meet and see how great of a person he truly was.

Hayden was a great friend, he was genuinely a light in so many peoples lives and made a positive impact on everyone. Me and him didn’t talk very often but when we saw eachother in school he always made conversation. He was a great person and always tried to help in anyway he could, whether it was seeing light in a difficult situation or making someone laugh, Hayden found a way to do it. I’ve been thinking about putting something here but i genuinely don’t have to words to express how much he left an impact on me and everyone else around, I also don’t think there’s any words to describe the way he lit up every room he walked into. I will continue to love and miss you everyday.

We are so sorry we won't be able to show our support and offer our hugs on the 26th as we'll be out of town. Our hearts go out to your family.

I'm so sorry.  Hayden was such a beautiful  soul.  He was always smiling.  The first time I saw him I said, omgoodness you have such beautiful  eyes. He got embarrassed. Everytime I'd see him in class we always would talk with each other. We talked about ROTC and him wanting to go to college to do welding.  I had told him that I took welding in HS so he asked so many questions.  One day he so happy with his new water bottle and telling me he tries to drink alot of water.  I still wait for him to walk through the door.   He will be missed by so many. RIP sweet angel 😇 
Love you!!

I had Hayden this year for World History and Geography. The best memory I have of Hayden is when he built his shield for his Rome Project, he was so excited and built one of the best shields in his class. He was even more excited on the day we got to test out the shields. He is missed every day <3

I had the joy of teaching Hayden in 2019-2020 in 6th grade U.S. History, he was such a smart young man. I am so sorry for your family’s loss.  My deepest condolences.

I am so sorry to hear about Hayden! My heart goes out to you. I can’t even imagine how devastating this is! Deepest sympathies to you all.

I didn’t know him personally but on behalf of the family’s request I donated to the Fredericksburg SPCA in memory of Hayden

We will miss him, I was never bored when I was with him, from stargazing, watching shows, talking about animals and even talking about games.  We always had fun, I haven’t talked to him in a long time but it still hit me hard. I always loved to talk with him about stupid things and acting like fools. We went on walks and used to try and stand on railings, he was known to do crazy things. I know he loved his family and his pets, especially his dog. He always talked about wanting to underwater weld, I just wish he could have lived to do his dream.

There are no words to express the heartbreak of hearing this news. Praying for God's peace, to wrap you in His comfort while your family navigates mourning the loss of Hayden. We have many great memories of our times with him at the Academy of Ballet & Nutcracker. Scott, Vanessa, & kids

Jessica and family.
I am so sad to hear about your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling right now. 

Wishing all of you peace and comfort as you navigate this challenging period.

With love,
Lu.

Our family is sending the Jones family many prayers….we knew Hayden as the neighborhood mini bike kid, him and my son would ride all over the place together. He was the sweetest soul…

I will miss you very much, you were an amazing boyfriend and I'm sorry to see you go. You were always so kind and loving and I wouldn't have you any other way. I'll miss you  very much. May you rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to you and your family as you navigate this unimaginable sorrow.

Although I only knew Hayden for a short time.
He was a great friend and always put others first.
He will be truly missed by many people.
Hope you have a great time in heaven Hayden Kristofer Jones.

I had the absolute joy and privilege of teaching Hayden during his elementary school years. Though we were both a bit stubborn in our own ways, he taught me so much—especially as a newer teacher finding her footing. Hayden was truly one of a kind. His smile could light up an entire room, and his energy was contagious. I still remember his endless, animated stories about his beloved cats and the deep love he had for his mom—it was beautiful and heartwarming.

Hearing this news is absolutely heartbreaking. Hayden had so much light, so much love, and so much potential to offer the world. I’m praying deeply for his family and all who were blessed to know him.  

Hayden, I wish you could have seen just how much this world needed a heart like yours.

I’m heartbroken over the loss of my close friend Hayden. I’ve known him since 2nd grade, and over the years, we shared so many good memories—from school days to hanging out at the car show. He was truly one of the nicest, sweetest, and most selfless people I’ve ever known. His kindness and positive energy touched everyone around him, and he always put others before himself.

Hayden will be deeply missed, not just by me, but by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace, my friend. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

You were the best man. I miss you so much. I hope you are doing  good up in heaven.
