Sincerest condolences and love from the Cederdahl family on the loss of Hayden. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you.
I shadowed Hayden on a table game months ago when he was new at Rivers Casino. He was talking with his father Andy as I stood there when we didn’t have any customers on the game that day. I saw the love and connection between them. Sometimes I would see him on break and he was always polite. I have been so heartbroken since I heard of his passing.
Dear Andrew, Quinn, and Chip,
