Talliesin Hayden Obituary

Talliesin "Dodd" Hayden February 2, 1970 - September 9, 2008 Dodd was involved in a tragic work accident and left us to be with his dad. Dodd was born on February 2, 1970 in Butte, MT to Tally and Marcy Hayden. He lived in Butte all of his life until recently relocating to Grand Junction, CO to work for Halliburton and to make a better life for his family. Dodd's true passion in life was music. He was an amazing drummer playing in various bands around Butte. He traveled to many concerts with his mother; he truly enjoyed this time with her. This is also where he bonded with his best friend Izzy; they remained very close until his death. His other passion was riding his Harley. This is where he felt most alive. Dodd married Jenny Sparks, the true love of his life and soul mate, in August, 2005. They had a son, Zakk together; but he was also a terrific step-father to Cody and Jordana. He truly loved being a dad to all three kids. Dodd is survived by his loving wife, Jenny; three kids, Cody, Jordana, and Zakk; mother, Marcy Hayden; sisters, Deborah and Raquel, in-laws, Jim and Sue Sparks and Sherry and Wade Clem; brother-in-law, Jim Sparks; many nieces and nephews, Alex, Tyler, Kyle, Ryan, Bailey, Austin, Caden, Jaric, Trevor and Tyler. He is also survived by his best friend, Izzy. Dodd will always be remembered as a loving Husband, Father, Son and Friend. Dodd, you may be gone but you Will Never be Forgotten. A remembrance gathering will be held on Friday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m.at the Halliburton Offices, 3199 D Road.

A great musican and an even better friend. The music we made still lives with me and always will (MadHatter 2002-2003). I give his family and other friends my deepest condolences.

We were like brothers as children, I regret letting years go by between our contacts as adults. My heart goes out to your family. May you rest peacefully until reunited.

I am all too familiar with the sudden loss of someone you love. It is never an easy process to deal with but have faith that this too shall pass. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
