Bro, I still don’t have words to express the whole you left in my heart. I miss your laughter, friendship, support, advice, and that crazy look you gave me when I did or said stupid stuff. Tears and smiles at the same time thinking about you. But, I thank God for all the time we had.
I love you Bro!❤❤

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. I literally had to check because I couldn't believe it's been 10 years. I'm sure you and Emanuel are "kicking" out up in heaven! I think about you often. There are times when I just need your wisdom. Your girls are all doing so well. I'm super proud of all of them. I love you beyond death! ❤ Jean

Well Bro, We are approaching another year without you. I still miss you and you are not forgotten. You would be surprised to know how much you impacted the lives of others.
Calvin has a 2 or 3 year old. When she gets in her moods, she does that nasty under-eyed look like you. :-)
Although I wish you were still here, I know you wouldn't leave the presence of God to return to the turmoil on this earth; even if you could. The power of love is amazing. I loved you in life and I love you in death. Yo big Sis...

Freddie, your girls were all together with Linda this weekend. Sarah graduated from Fresno State University with a BA in psychology. A couple of the brothers from the accountability group was there to show support for your family. Candice went to the prom.... Man does she have your crazy humor.... Calvin also was married to Christina. All your siblings were in Fresno for the celebration. Even though you are not visually here, your memories live on. You have not been forgotten. Love goes beyond the grave.
I miss you Bro.

I have gone back and forth today about sending this post! My Great Niece sent a text to a few family members today about her Uncle Freddie that brought me to tears! So I have decided to send my best friend and Love a message: Freddie Hayes it's been 4 yrs since God said come home. That day was the beginning of a life I had no idea on how to live without you: but because of your love for me, I have been able to think about what you would say or do in every battle I have face since your departure. Freddie although gone, you will always live in my heart! Because of you I am a better Mother, Daughter, and Friend! I will always Love You!

RIP to our loved Uncle Freddie. We will love him as well as miss him. He was and still is one of the people that change our life forever. Uncle Freddie would be proud of our family today and I'm pretty sure is looking down at us now still laughing at us. I do, did, and will always love my Uncle, 3 years have passed and it still isn't easy to talk about him with out tearing up and I know he will be in our minds and hearts forever. We'll see him soon and he will walk each and everyone of us through the golden gates while the angels sing with his goofy jokes.
❤❤We love you Uncle Freddy ❤❤

It's been three years since we last smiled or laughed together. Three years since we last saw one another. However long or short it has been when we were last together in Santa Monica, what a time we had. We truly did Laugh, Love and Live. You were an awesome double brother and my best friend. Our Endless Love goes on. RIP Elder Freddie L. Hayes. Awesome Husband and Dad. Meet you at the River!

Monday was my birthday 8/19/13. As I was driving to work with my sunroof open, I felt something hit the side of my face. It appeared to be a black bug and I freaked out. I starting slapping and brushing the side of my face. Somehow I realized it wasn't a bug but it was 'just my hair". LOL! Almost immediately, I could see Freddie. He gave me the, "your blonde roots are showing" look. Then he just put his head down and started shaking it in disbelief. I literally LOL just knowing that is exactly how he would responded...... 2 yrs & a few months have gone by and I still miss my brother. I love you man!!!

I First met Freddie a few summers ago visiting Fresno for the first time, when he opened his home to my family. From the few days I spent with him I could tell he was a well respected man,I even got a chance to cut his hair at his neighborhood barbershop. RIP Uncle Freddie.

don't know exactly how Facebook works, but I was going to sign off and saw this post on the side of the screen and had to repost it. Tomorrow 04/10/2013 it has been 2 years since God called my brother home........still remember it like it was yesterday!
Can 55 years be both long and short? My answer yes! It's long if you sit around and do nothing, or worst if you live 55 years of negativity. However the same 55 years is short when you are positively touching people in ways that one day is life changing, a day that will always be remembered.
My brother Freddie would have been 56 years old/young, June 14, 2011 Those of you who knew him know that he got more than 55 years out of live! I'm forever grateful that you are my brother twice. Once by force, then by choice. By birth and then by blood. I am forever grateful that GOD used me to draw you to HIM, amazing! You touched many lives both in life and death. R.I.P. I love you!

On this day two years ago I lost the greatest "hot hands" partner ever. See uncle Daniel thought he was better but nobody can play "hot hands" like Uncle Freddie. The first thing we did every time we saw each other was play tht game! Man he used to tear my hands up! Lol. I love and miss you Uncle Freddie. #hayeswave

HAYES WAVE!!
What the Hayes Wave means to me: FAMILY, an onward expression of Unity & Love, mixed with a'lil Hayes humor. I'll see you later. Knowing we will be thinking of one another as we venture on our journey.
While we sway our right hand, it's our way of letting our beloved feel comfort in knowing, "I Got You." It carries the Prayers of soo many, sacrifice, tears, heartache, dedication and most importantly- an undying Love.
I MISS and LOVE YOU soo much Uncle...Hayes Wave= I'll see you later

I rejoice in that assurance, in spite of the pain of not having you here with us. I will see you again... I love you Bro and I am so thankful to God for the time I had with you. faithful.

Uncle its been over a year and I am still unable to cope with your death. I dont have the words to express myself for once in my life. I understand that you are absent from the body but present with the lord. But I would love to still have you here. I think about you alot and wish I could pick up the phone and call you or text you. I enjoyed the time we spent together in the valley just you and me talking, driving and trying new places to eat. Well uncle I have learned a lot from you and I will see you again one day. Just watch over me every once in a while when you get a chance. I love you man.

Dear Uncle Freddie
Thanks for being a positive influence in my life. You always had my best interest at heart. You said a prayer for me at birth which has carried me over until this now. You passed away 10/4. The only jersey that I play basketball in is 14 [10+4]
R.I.P. Uncle Freddie, love always Brandon Hayes.

Daddy I miss you so much. It has been a year and I can't believe it. Sarah and Candice are doing great and your grandchildren are getting big. Sarah showed me a picture of Monica's kids and the girls look just like Monica and RJ is taller that ever. Nate is about to start t-ball this week he is a lot better at it this year, he has finally stopped sitting down in the middle of the field.
The summer is fast approaching and the beach is sounding real good right now. I wish you were here to see all of the accomplishments we have made in the last year. Sarah is in her 2ed semerster of college and is working hard on her goal of medical school, she will make it. Candice has just compleated softball, I didnt even know she played, Sarah told me she didn't like playing that's why she didn't tell anyone...lol. I'm still in school I'm almost done, I'm waiting on my acceptance ( or denied...:( hopefully not) letter for the MSW program. All I think about is you still being here, we would be going through school together like we were at city. The last time I talked to you we talked for about 2 hours and you told me that I better not quit and keep going until I was satisfied, and you don't want to see any C's, well I do have 2 C's but they are in statistics. Daddy I have to go now, I love you and will always miss you ?

I was just thinking of him the other day wishing I could send 1 more text, have 1 more conversation, 1 more laugh or just tell him 1 last time how much I love and appreciate him. As a child I coould get him to do almost ANYTHING for me. "Uncle, can you/ will you" I don't recall EVER hearing No. As I grew, we had the talks, prayers and expression of love. I could go on and on..I Love You and you will NEVER be forgotten!!

Its been a year and I still leave any thing Freddie laying around. His memories became closer as April 10th grew near. After Freddie services I asked Robert and Brandon what do they have to say now that uncle/(Dad)was gone. Robert looked at me with no expression and said "Their is nothing to say". Love to my brother and Family.

A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER
Is this real?
Im not sure how to deal
deal with the hurt, the fear, dad, im just scared
Im not sure why you left, but the Lord our God saw that it was best
best to take you home
home is where you belong
because you ran a good race
God looked down on you and said,"son you've done great."
he said, "lay down your burdens, cast your cares
things of that world you no longer have to bare,
look up to the hills and arise my son for your race on that earth is finally done."
you can rest now dad
rest in the Lord
rest in his arms safe and secure
I leave you now dad, but i know your in good hands and one day I'll see you again.
I love you.
Brandon with his Uncle Freddie.

My dad was my wise council, my supporter, my teacher. I miss him more than my heart can comprehend. He showed me the ropes on how go be a great parent. Even though he's gone, his memory will live on through his daughters!! His memory will live on through everyone who has been impacted by my father! Today I choose to celebrate his memory and celebrate the 23 years I had with my dad. I hope everyone does the same!!

I cant believe its been a year since your passing.... Its still hard to swallow the fact that your gone. The last time I seen you during the family reunion I felt like we bonded like no other.... before then I thought you were the mean uncle! Lol making those boys move all of the logs back and forth in the yard Haha I told myself I would NEVER get in trouble by you! Lol.. (by the way I didn't ever) :) Uncle I love you and you will never be forgotten! R.I.P.

Well, it's almost been a year and I'm still loss for words. April 10, 2011 my sibling circle was broken. I thought if I took a few weeks it would be a bit easier to write something, but weeks, months and now almost a year has passed, and I'm still at a loss. I just need to go on record saying that I love my brother Freddie Hayes. I'm glad I said so the last night we spoke just a few days before he left this world. There are so many memories and life lessons that I will hold on to because that's all I have left. I feel that you left soon, but I know that God knows best.
The night Brandon was born you prayed a powerful prayer over his life. You began from day one to deposit positive seeds in his life. Later as his first babysitter, you began to help mold his little life. Even though you loved your nieces and nephews, I always felt like Brandon had a special place in your heart, kind of like the son you never had. We talk of you often……so many memories, so many memories.
Gone from this life, but NEVER forgotten…I love you.

It has been almost one year since Freddie went home to be with the Lord. I still have memories of our childhood: going to church at Holy Temple, hearing Sister Hayes singing "Sweet Home", standing in the prayer line while Elder Hayes prayed for me, spending nights with Sheila and Jean and eating homemade cake. When I think of the memories, I can't help but smile. Freddie was a wonderful person who came from a wonderful family. I will always cherish those memories. Love, Kiki

People come in and go out of our lives for various reasons during the "pre-planned" season(s). Somehow though seemingly unique ones leave an ever lasting impression forever. Sadly enough it's not recognized until they have left. GONE but NOT FORGOTTEN,COUSIN FREDDIE.

Uncle Freddie,
You've always had a heart for life and people. I remember when you bought that Rx-7 in Houston Tx. Just crazy about that car. Same way you felt about driving the Dodge Challenger or was it a Prizmo? Racing it back and forth from Bakersfield to Fresno. Just some of the examples how you lived. It was always exciting to hear your adventures. You rode life like a roller coaster ride. Up or down. You always stayed my Uncle Freddie.
You moved to Fresno and took a more serious approach to life. Settle down by geting married having wonderful daughter.Linda and you become foster parents. Went thru the up and downs. The whole time I was learning from you. You really had my attention when you came to God. Started preaching. "I was like what?" Thats my Uncle! You were a leader even before you took postion and titles of mans validaton. I just love and admire you so much.
Your body my not walk this earth as we may know it. Your legacy lives on. Thank you so much for loving me the way you did! I will be forever grateful too you and my savior. Your life has just begun. Enjoy!

Hey, Uncle. The things you did when no one else would, I appreciate. The void you filled when I didn't have, will forever be charished. The Love, time and patience you shown, will never be forgotten. The walks, talks and teachings, the laughs, our special bond..will forever be missed. If only I could bottle up our last conversation it would be just enough to get me through. I hold your gifts close to my heart and store our time together in "our special" place. The struggle may have been long and the fight hard BUT, the VICTORY has been won. "Some things can't be put on record but, you know you're #1 with me"...lol. I Love You forever, your #1 niece.

Sheila, Jean and to the entire Hayes Family, Our hearts, love and prayers are with you during the loss of your loved one. We know from 1st hand experience how difficult the loss of a Brother, Husband or Parent can be. May you find comfort in knowing that he is at peace and is now rejoicing in heaven with Mom and Dad and other family members. I know that this will be a true home-going celebration but you will miss him terriby here on earth but his memory will be cherished and live forever in our hearts. He and the entire Hayes famiy has always been special to us and we all go back several years to the Arvin Calvary Church of God in Crist under the late Pastor Hayes and First lady. We have many fond memories of all of the Hayes growing up in the church, spending time at your home, attending the same schools and forming friendships and life long connections. Please know how sorry we are to hear of Reverend Hayes passing and the loss of this Godly Man. It is evident that he has been a faitful servant and deserves his reward in heaven. We have the upmost respect for Revenued Hayes as well as the other family members that have dedicated their lives to saving souls and/or preaching the word. We send our love and prayers. Remember to be absent from the body is to be pesent with the Lord. I am confident he is shouting for Joy and is at total peace. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the event we can be of assistance in any way. We love you all and will be praying for each one of you.
With Deepest Sympathy,
