Who was Hayden Robert?

Hayden was born on January 7, 2002, in Erie, Pennsylvania, to his proud parents Amanda Pauline Rhoades and Jeremy Seth Hitchcock. From a young age, Hayden’s adventurous spirit was evident, and he was always eager to explore the outdoors. As he grew older, his love for hunting, fishing, and riding his side-by-side only intensified. Hayden’s brothers, Jordan Rhoades and Hunter Joliet, were his constant companions on these outdoor adventures, and the bond they shared was unbreakable.

Hayden was also deeply passionate about music and weightlifting. He spent hours listening to his favorite bands, playing guitar, and perfecting his lifting technique. He was dedicated to pushing himself to be the best version of himself physically and mentally, always striving for excellence.

Hayden’s love for fast cars was another defining aspect of his life. He was an avid car enthusiast and spent countless hours tinkering with his own car and attending car shows. His love for speed was only surpassed by his devotion to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins, two teams he cheered on with unwavering loyalty.
