EDWARD BARRELLE HAYES

Edward Barrelle Hayes (nicknamed Sonny), age 80, was born on February 23, 1942, and passed away in the hospital in Ontario, California on September 17, 2022, due to respiratory
complications. Edward was born in Bienville, Louisiana and spent most of his childhood in Little Rock, Arkansas and Lucerne Valley, California. As an adult he lived in Victorville, California and
Canon City, Colorado.

Edward joined the Army in 1962 where he trained as a mechanic. He worked most of his adult life for the Department of the Navy as a government employee at the Marine Corps Logistics
Base in Barstow, California as a machinist. He eventually retired from that job and completed commercial truck driver training.

Edward loved spending time coaching little league games, playing dominoes, and reading. He had a way of cheating at dominoes that made you wonder if you imagined that he was
cheating. He treated all children like they were his own. He was very strict when it came to education and made sure he did whatever he could to get his children through school.
