Michael Robert Hayes

Michael Robert Hayes was born on February 29, 1996 in Bay Shore, New York. Michael passed away suddenly on December 23, 2023. Michael was just 27 years old. He is survived by his parents Russell and Nancy Hayes, his siblings Angela and James Hayes, and his beloved pets Lola, Ben, and Remi.
Michael was loving, kind-hearted, and extremely creative. He and his large group of friends spent years crafting songs, making beats, countless videos and drawing grafitti. His artistry as Hazard Hayes has been shared on various music platforms. His dream was to touch people’s hearts with his music. The community he surrounded himself with endeavors to help honor his memory by continuing creatively as his legacy.
Throughout his short life, Michael faced many ups and down. While not an easy road, Michael maintained an open heart and offered a listening ear and open arms to family and friends alike. He was not one to shy away from giving tight hugs and saying, “I love you.” He had a great affection for animals. He called himself a “cat daddy” as he cared for his pets and the stray cats in the back yard.
Michael was a sensitive soul. He was deeply intuitive and inquisitive. He wanted to create more content to reach out to others online by starting a podcast. Most of all, Michael wanted to connect with others far and wide. To let them know that he had been here. All his motives were rooted in love.
