Prayers for the family of Chuck Haygood.
It is always hard to loss a loved one. Our prayers are with all the family.
As a vital part of the Hazen community, Chuck Haygood will be dearly missed by all those who knew him. As a public servant for many years as a volunteer fireman and as a plumber called upon often, Chuck endeared himself to many who will cherish his legacy of service to others. Some of us who are a few years older than Chuck, literally saw him grow up and we had the privilege of knowing him his whole life. His life had a positive impact on many others and upon Hazen and the surrounding communities. Our sympathy and prayers continue for Chuck’s family. May God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the “Comforter”) provide strength, comfort, and assurance in this time of sorrow. Billy and Gail Booth
