The Hayden McNabb Memorial Music Scholarship

Hayden McNabb—a beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew, and friend—tragically and suddenly passed away on September 8, 2025, at the age of 31. Music was Hayden’s passion. He was a talented guitarist, composer, and singer whose love for music deeply inspired those around him.

To honor Hayden’s memory and continue his legacy, we are raising funds to establish an annual music scholarship for students involved in the Guitar Club at Fairmont Jr. High School in Boise, Idaho. This scholarship will help young musicians pursue their dreams by covering the costs of music lessons, instruments, equipment, and attendance at workshops or camps—opportunities they might not otherwise be able to afford.

In addition to his musical talent, Hayden was deeply loved by the students he worked with as part of the playground and classroom support staff. He was known for being fun, engaging, and always present—someone the kids genuinely looked forward to seeing every day.

Through this annual scholarship, we aim to celebrate Hayden’s life by empowering the next generation of musicians and helping them access the same joy and creative outlet that music provided for him.

All funds raised will go directly to the Hayden McNabb Music Scholarship Fund.

Every contribution—large or small—makes a difference. Together, let’s keep Hayden’s spirit alive through the power of music.

Thank you for your support.

For questions or more information, please contact Anne Smith, a long-time close friend of the McNabb family.
