Jimmy’s brother Kevin, who currently plays for the Philadelphia Flyers, shared his own message of grief following his brother passing. In a swipe through Instagram post that featured the brothers, the family, fun dancing nights, a wedding and more, Kevin wrote a lengthy caption showcasing their relationship and Jimmy’s impact on the hockey world.
Yesterday I lost my best friend, my brother. My whole life it has always been Jimmy and Kevin or the Hayes brothers. I have followed you around since I can remember and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Whether it was youth hockey, Nobles, Boston College or the NHL, you paved the way for me. You taught me everything I needed to know in order to succeed. You lit up every single room you walked into with your smile and positive attitude. Everyone wanted to be around Jim, the big, goofy, horrible dancer, funny, genuine and kindest person around. I will never forget the times we shared or the memories we made and know that I will try my hardest to have your legacy live on. Our world lost someone special and I don’t know if I will ever be the same but till we meet again, I LOVE YOU JIM!

RIP Jimmy Hayes.
