Definitely not the first thing I expected to read this morning... so young, tragic.

My condolences as well.

That's terrible....I see his parents both had cancers. I haven't heard but maybe he had something develop too.

So tragic to happen to anyone, especially someone so young. May he rest in peace

 

[smack66]

wow. shocking news

 

[mikelvl]

What???!!! No way, unreal. He has a young baby too. I can't believe this.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Holy smokes I knew seeing this thread wasn't a good thing.

RIP Jimmy.

 

[mikelvl]

There is nothing in the news on this yet. I hope it's not true.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

What?

RIP

There is nothing in the news on this yet. I hope it's not true.

Yea this is one of those things that seems pretty disrespectful to "break" as a random thread on HF. Not that I doubt bcbruins connections. But I would much prefer it to come from an official news source via the family themselves.

Look closer, it's not bcbruins either it's bcbruins1. I'm starting to smell something.

Very sad that he passed, much to young.... I do question posting this though before it's even announced by the family publicly? This isn't the kind of "inside info" I come here for and not in great taste tbh.

he/She has been bcbruins1 for awhile.

My bad if that's the case. I'm hoping it's not true.

wrong.

but regardless. This is pretty big and until more info is forthcoming I think we will just lock this up.
As soon as we get something we will unlock.

I have put out inquiries.

 

[Gee Wally]

With deep sadness and now that received multiple confirmation it appears he did pass away.

More and more Twitter accounts jumping on this now... Trey Daerr had a tweet up but it might be gone now...

Edit: ah shit seeing Wally's post now that sucks he has a young family... Sad news

 

[finchster]

If the mods let a thread like this go without a link, you can guess the poster is vetted.

Terrible news, sad for the Hayes family.

 

[Spooner st]

Way too young with a family. Heart breaking. RIP.

 

[NDiesel]

Shocking, feel for his young boys and family. RIP Jimmy Hayes, thanks for your time in Boston.

 

[ylekot]

Just terrible. RIP

 

[Fenway]

The worst part of the past 90 minutes for me was not being able to find anyone to deny the story.

 

[Alicat]

Just awful. My heart breaks for his wife and boys.

My thoughts are with his family and friends. Met him once and he was a really nice guy.

 

[finchster]

Really sad time- so many In Memoriam threads here

 

[UConn126]

Holy cow. First and foremost - condolences to the Hayes family. He always seemed like a good guy, and put up with a lot of crap from us B's fans. Those poor boys who will grow up not knowing their father. This is tragic on so many level.

He's only a year older than me. I always find the deaths of folks in my age bracket very unsettling, especially when the cause of death remains private. To think one day things are going well out on the golf course and a week later you're gone.
