Hayes Joseph Pien was born on February 19, 2024, and went to heaven on Thursday, March 28, 2024. He was a warrior and fought each day as he attempted to recover from two open heart surgeries. We are so grateful for every moment we had with Hayes, the opportunity our family had to support him in his battle, and we will continue to love him unconditionally forever.

 

While we are deeply saddened to not have had the opportunity to bring Hayes home and see him grow up, we rest knowing he is sitting on our Heavenly Father’s lap fully restored! As our wonderful pastor reminded us, being away from Hayes will feel like a blink of an eye to him but will feel like an eternity for us, until we see him again and truly get the opportunity to understand what eternity really is. We are further reminded during this Easter season, that Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice guarantees the opportunity for our family to see our little warrior again as well as for everyone who believes in Him.

 

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the foundation via Venmo @RPien, which will be transferred directly into his foundation once established in the weeks to come. Please include Hayes’ name under the “what’s this for?” section.
