Go rest High on that Mountain— Deacon Dean

Obituary— Bishop

Hayden James Hollingsworth, age 32, passed away on November 22, 2025. He is survived by his

loving family: his parents, Linda Hollingsworth, and James and Rhonda Hollingsworth; his brothers,

Kaleb Hollingsworth (37), Alec Bentley (25), and Bryce Hollingsworth (20); and his son, Kason

Hollingsworth (4), along with extended family and many friends who will forever cherish his memory.

From a young age, Hayden showed an extraordinary drive and a natural business mind, finding ways to

make a good living doing what he loved. He worked as a welder, a trade requiring strength, precision,

and determination. Hayden was also a gifted taxidermist, outdoorsman, and hunting guide, living off the

land with confidence and respect for nature.

Music was another passion of Hayden's life. He played the guitar and sang with resilience and

creativity, overcoming physical limitations and continuing to create where others might have stopped.

Hayden had an easy way with people and could connect with anyone through his humor, confidence,

and genuine presence. He believed in God, though his faith was personal and not defined by formality.
