Obituary of Sean Dermott Hayes

Sean passed away peacefully with family at his side at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. He was the dear son of Fred and Maureen Hayes (Crowe) both deceased. He was the cherished father of Jason (Christina) and Kevin – mother Helene Gorley and Amber-Lynn, Clinton and stepdaughter Samantha – mother Bonnie Anderson. Proud Papa of Desiree, Brendan, Kyeler, Elijah, Isaiah, Aidan and Tae. Sean is also survived by his loving siblings Malcolm (Jacqueline), Laurie Farrell (Russ), and Alanna Hein (Ellwood). Affectionately known as “Cowboy”, Sean was a talented mechanic and guitarist who had a great zest for life. The times most enjoyed by Sean were spent with his sons tinkering with cars and with his many friends sharing stories, singing songs and playing guitar. Sean will be greatly missed by all. A big thank you to the 4th floor staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for the wonderful care they provided. Sean will be laid to rest at a private service at Pinecrest Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations to the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation or the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation would be appreciated.
