Hayden Louis Ladmirault

Hayden was a beautiful child who adored his big sister, Slne, and his baby brother, Aubrey. Hayden loved to laugh, race cars, and play with his trains and Superman toys. He was incessantly curious and always fearless. For five years he was a source of constant joy and occasional exasperation, but was a fire that warmed the hearts of his family and friends daily with his smile and laughter.

Hayden attended Top Kids II, graduated from pre-kindergarten at G.W. Hamilton Elementary in Baldwin, LA, and was attending Foster Elementary School in Franklin. He was a proud member of the Krewe of Couche Couche, having marched yearly.
