Ernest

Hayden Ernest, 19, of Hilliards, passed away tragically on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023.

He was born in Texas to Kimberly Aupperle. Hayden graduated from First Baptist Christian School in Butler. After high school, he worked at Altitude Trampoline Park and then at New Haven Court, an assisted living facility.

Pokémon and Xbox were Hayden’s life, along with his family and friends whom he made a top priority. He was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back, even if he knew you had your own. Hayden was so funny and there was never a dull moment when he was around. He was known to be a “Peace Keeper” and loved and cared deeply about everyone around him, especially his family, friends and girlfriend. He was loved by all who knew him and will be forever missed.

Along with his mother, Hayden is survived by his sisters, Fantasia, Jada, and Raeleigh Berry; and his cousin, Roberta (Mark) Dougherty.
