Hayden D. Gagnon, aka "K9 Kid" "The Canadian", 19, Pulaski, died Monday, November 10, 2014. He was born February 6, 1995, in Green Bay to Bart and Rae (Cramer) Gagnon.
Hayden was a graduate of Pulaski High School, Class of 2013. He worked as a head zoo keeper at the DeYoung Family Zoo in Wallace, MI, and also as a full time staff member at Piper's Rescue Ranch. Hayden was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling. He will be remembered for his big smile and his sense of humor. Hayden enjoyed working with animals – especially wolves, spending time with family and friends, going on family vacations, and traveling. He often would appear on NBC 26 on "Untamed Tuesday with Animals" (a morning program) and spoke a lot on animal education, conservation and preservation. He also starred in "My Life is a Zoo" on National Geographic Wild.
Hayden is survived by his parents, Bart and Rae; sister, Carrie Cramer and her fiancé, Bud DeYoung; grandparents, Gary and Dee Cramer, Mary Gagnon "Grandma"; aunts and uncles, Kelly and Jodi Cramer, Pete and Gina Cramer, Marie Cramer and her special friend, Jensina "Color", Brian Gagnon and his special friend, Sharon, Brent Gagnon, Brad Gagnon and his fiancé, Amy, Brenda Leonard and her special friend, Scott Wanta; cousins, Brandon, Brad, Birdee, Bunny, Brandon, Billy Jean, Beau, Trent, Dylan; Hayden's three dogs, Harper, Jaeger, and Chloe; his chimpanzee, Louie; and many good friends, especially Derek Reiner, whom he worked with at the zoo.
