Hayden Umbenhower Obituary

Umbenhower Hayden Axel Umbenhower was tragically and unexpectedly taken from us just 3 months shy of his 2nd birthday on April 29, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Hayden lived with his mother, Julienne Leda Frederico in Barataria, LA. He was born July 19, 2014 at 6:05 pm in Lebanon, PA, but relocated with his Mom in 2015. To know Hayden, was to know an amazing child. Whether playing peek-a-boo, helping with sweeping and trash hauling or playing with his tool toys, he was always smiling and his smile was contagious. Though his life was shortened by tragedy, the lives he touched far outnumber his short years on this Earth. In death, he saved the lives of 4 other children through organ donations. He saved their families from the heartbreak of his own family. In this way, he will live on through others. Hayden is preceded in death by his aunt, Jet Kohl Nichols and great-great grandmother, Pearl Tyson. He is survived by his mother, Julienne Leda Frederico of Barataria, maternal grandparents, Bond Julienne Ruggles, Christopher Edward Nichols and Charles W. Frederico; paternal grandparents, Larry, Jr. and Pamela Umbenhower; maternal great grandparents, Larry E. and Patricia Sweigard; paternal great grandparents, Bobby and Patti Rodenhaber; his dog "Gigi" Maggie and his cat "Ah-A" Nibbler and a host of great aunts, uncles and family friends. A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, May 9, 2016 at Charbonnet-Labat-Glapion Funeral Home, 1615 St. Philip St., NOLA for 2:00 pm. A Second Line will follow the service.

Just read about your son. I'm so sorry about your loss. I told lost my daughter. The lost of a child is the hardest thing a parent may go through. He was and is well loved. My prayers go out to you, your family and Hayden. God bless

How I wish I could shed years of my own life to return you to your parents.

May they see you again someday.

A burning flame, like the burning love that all of his family must feel for Hayden, and he for them in heaven.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hayden is now in heaven. A gorgeous pair of white wings sprouting from his back, bearing feathers like those of a dove. I am sure that he looks down upon his mother, watching over her always. I know that when his mother thinks of her loss, and cries, he too cries. He must want her to live her life to the fullest, knowing that when she too leaves this world, they will be reunited. I know that when that day comes, mother and son will embrace for all of eternity in the kingdom of heaven, and their love will illuminate all of paradise.

Monkey, Cannot believe you've been gone over a year. Not a day goes by where you are not in my thoughts. Please watch over your mama, she hurts more than words could ever express. I watch our videos, I stare at our photos we have of you. Though you've been gone a year, my love for you grows more. You have saved three lives in your death. I could not be more proud of you. A hero forever. All my love, Mimi

When a child prematurely closes her eyes.
A new born is angel in heaven.
Two wings are deployed on top
An angelic singing is heard in the sky.
A celestial whisper holds the sadness of the moment.
Today, an angel, there's in Your family.
In Your heart.
In Your faith.
In Your hope.
His name is Hayden.

Hayden was a miracle and absolute blessing to our family. He was our light that would shine in the deepest and darkest places that surrounded us. He was a pure bundle of joy. He will be missed deeply and forever remembered as our little hero and little angel. He had a heart of gold and a smile that could change a dimmed, dull heart. Nothing will ever replace him. We will forever treasure him in our hearts. He was so sweet and innocent and never deserved what happened to him. He was a strong, loving, courageous, gentle MAN like his grand pop Larry Jr. Hayden still lives on in others and in will forever live in my heart! I miss you and love you Hayden more than you could have ever known. May you rest in peace with God now. May he hold you tight with loving arms and embrace your sweet and innocent spirit. I love you forever and always.
Your cousin Jennie.
