Hadyn Williams Obituary

Dr. Hadyn T. Williams, age 71, of Augusta, Georgia, passed away on September 22, 2024. Born on February 21, 1953 at Georgia Baptist in Atlanta, Georgia, he was the son of Al and Mary Williams.

Hadyn grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. He went to college at the University of Alabama, completed medical school at South Alabama, finished his residency at the University of California Los Angeles and a fellowship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and then finally moved to Georgia, where he worked as a Nuclear Medicine Specialist in Atlanta, followed by Augusta. He loved Alabama football and his Alma Mater dearly. He cheered for the Crimson Tide during every game, rarely missing a chance to watch Bama play, and even drove a crimson colored T-Bird. Hadyn proudly said "Roll Tide!" every chance he could. He was a talented guitar player and a lover of music, especially the Allman Brothers. Hadyn relished science and the pursuit of knowledge, with a true desire to never stop learning that he passed on to his children.

Hadyn is survived by his wife, Jo, his three daughters, Leah, Casey, and Nora, siblings Nancy and Tim, and many, many extended family members.

Hadyn requested to be cremated. His ashes will be spread in places that were most important to him and those who loved him, including his favorite place in the world: Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Some of his ashes will be spread over his parents' graves in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday, October 5, 2024. All family and friends who wish to attend this graveside service are welcome.

A memorial service for Hadyn will be held at New Smyrna Beach, Florida during the annual family reunion in June 2025. Hadyn would not have wanted something formal, but something where his friends and family could celebrate his life together, all while listening to good music and enjoying each other's company.

Haydn and I did the 2 year Nuclear Medicine residency at Wadsworth VAH in Los Angeles (1984-1986). Haydn and Jo returned to the Southeast immediately thereafter. He was a nice guy and this is the first time I learned of his passing. I am so glad to know he had such a loving family . William Bennett,MD (retired).

I was a young nuclear medicine technologists under his tutelage. He taught me attention to detail I´ve used for 30 years. Truly a wonderful man.

It was my privilege to share a Nuclear Medicine residency with Hayden at Wadsworth Veterans Hospital in Los Angeles, CA 1984-86. He was a good friend and physician and although my condolences are after the fact, I only found out about his passing today, William Bennett, MD

I remember interviewing Dr. Williams and then his arrival. He was always a gentleman, dedicated to his profession, was upbeat and yes he did love his Alabama Crimson Tide Football. I would quip, "Go DAWGs" and he´d respond "Roll Tide". I am sorry for his loss and my condolences to his family. And May Hayden rest in peace, at last at home
