Hayden Fox

Hayden Fox, 20, of Massanutten, Virginia, lost his life to suicide in the early hours of November 2nd.

He had recently received his Private Pilot License and Instrument Rating and was a sophomore at Utah State pursuing a career in aviation.

Born to JoAnne and Jason Fox, Hayden was the 3rd born and only son with 3 surviving sisters, Sage, Margo & Nora of whom he was very close.

He’s most remembered for his selflessness & kindness, not just to his family and friends, but anyone he would meet. He was a high achiever, able to apply himself and excel at what he put his mind to. He loved flying, racing, snowboarding, rock-climbing and had many friends and acquaintances.

Hayden silently struggled with mental illness & seemed to only see his failures where everyone saw his successes. Instead of flowers the family wishes to support the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and the Let Me Run program with donations. A Celebration of Life 5k will be held in the future.

In the pilot community they say “Blue Skies” to wish someone who has passed a peaceful last flight with no turbulence.

Blue skies Hayden, you will be profoundly missed by all who loved you and your memory cherished by all who knew you.
