Obituary of Gerald Hayman

It is with sadness that the family of Todd Hayman, Westville, announce his passing, however, our ordeal has finally been lifted. With God’s grace and comfort, we can come together to celebrate his life and the many blessings he has left behind. Todd was born to Gerald and Marsha Hayman, on May 30, 1974. He attended Westville Schools, graduating first in his class from the Occupational Preparation Program, in 1994. He also studied and graduated from the Nova Scotia Community College, in the Automotive Repair Course. Todd’s fun-loving spirit led him to venture out into the world; and he found employment as a blue-collar worker in Ontario, after high school. From there he found employment with Michelin Tire-through Dave Shannon’s cleaning; factory work in Calgary, Alberta; Eastern Tire in New Glasgow; and a rare and privileged opportunity on Sable Island, putting up weather towers. His last job was with Poly Mer Plastics in Truro. With his pleasant personality and playful spirit, Todd was the life of any party. Other interests included fishing, hunting, playing pick-up hockey, tennis, paint-ball adventures, riding motorcycles, playing drums during jam sessions with his brother Kenny and friends. Besides his parents, Todd is survived by his wife Pam (Cassidy); son Brett, Island East River; his grandfather Roy Stewart, Westville; brother Kenny (Lorraine Evans), Greenwood-Pictou Co.; and son Aaron Jordan, Stellarton; as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
