Funeral services for Hayden Blair were 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, at Shackelford Funeral Directors - Crook Avenue Chapel with Chris Smith officiating.
Burial followed at Unity Cemetery. The family received friends at Crook Avenue from 5-8 p.m. Monday and again from noon until 2 p.m. service time Tuesday.
He was born in Selmer on Feb. 10, 2003, son of Dwayne Alan Blair and Crystal Lee Brigance Hall. He attended Liberty Tech High School in Jackson.
Immediately after high school, he entered the workforce and in 2025 began working at the AutoZone Distribution Center in Lexington. He quickly became a valued member of his team, forming lasting friendships with many of his coworkers. He was known for his strong work ethic, dedication and the genuine care he showed for both his job and the people who he worked alongside.
He enjoyed playing video games and working on cars, but above all else, he loved his children, his family and the many friends he considered family. His greatest joy in life was being a father. Anyone who saw him with his children could easily see how deeply he loved them and what a wonderful dad he was. Hayden will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him. The family is so thankful for the outpouring of love and prayers they have received.
He is survived by his father, Dwayne (stepmother, Macy) Blair and mother, Crystal Hall; a son, Lincoln Jones; his precious girls, Kynnady and Jasmine Blair; two brothers, Dakota Blair of Keithville, La., and Ty Foster of Jackson; and three sisters, Kaylee Mitchell of Middleton, Sidney Carraway of Evening Shade, Ark., and Chloe Foster of Jackson.
He was preceded in death by his son, Kameron Blair in 2025.
