Victor Hayward

In Loving memory Victor hayward

August 27, 1998 - June 16, 2020

Some people talk-the-talk that we should practice random acts of kindness and selfIess acts of love. Victor Thomas Hayward lived this philosophy. He walked the walk. Victor Thomas Hayward was the physical form of unconditional love. He never missed the chance to help a stranger. He only gave of himself. Victor knew how to BE love. And, most of all, Victor loved his family and WAS love for his family.

Victor was an outdoorsman. He loved spending time with his three dogs, Doobie, Remi, and Scout. Victor always loved the outdoors whether he was snowboarding, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, or 4-wheeling. The outdoors was his home where he felt truly free. Victor really loved guns and had a natural gun-smithing talent. Most of all, he especially loved being outdoors on the Rez in his kayak, paddling, or fishing Clear Creek, breathing in the fresh air. He loved his family deeply, always being fully present when roughhousing with Hayden, gently blowing into little Victor’s face to make him smile, or stomach laughing with Shonna. Victor’s light will be missed deeply but he will forever shine in our hearts and always be present in the love we give others.

Victor will always be loved and remembered by his daughter Hayden, son Victor, the love of his life Shonna, father Tony, mother Shannon, stepmother Laurie, brother Laine, brother TR, brother Joey, Aunt Angie, grandma Vicky, cousin Noah, cousin Chelsea, father-in-law Shon, along with the rest of his uncles, aunts, grandparents, and cousins.
