After a heroic battle, Hayden Alexander Barnes died at 8:02 P.M. in the arms of his Mommy and Daddy on Wednesday January 16, 2013 at the age of 6.

Loving and sweet son of Andrew and Jamie Barnes, dear brother who completed the circle of Peyton, Adrien, and Makenna Barnes “QUAD POWER”

Stygar Family of Funeral Service is caring for Hayden’s family.

Visitation at the STYGAR MID RIVERS Funeral Home, 5987 Mid Rivers Mall Dr. (St Charles) on Mon., Jan 21 from 10:00 A.M. until 12:00 P.M. with Funeral Service commencing at 12:00 P.M. Interment at St. Philippine Cemetery (St. Charles)

We are working to make this more of a Celebration of Life rather than a typical funeral. To honor Hayden, wearing Red, a color that he could see and his siblings felt was his favorite, would be appropriate. Additionally, we are planning to make this as kid friendly as possible. Feel free to bring balloons to help create an atmosphere of celebration.
