Bradley Walter Hayduk
Bradley Walter Hayduk, of Bonnyville and Edmonton, AB, passed away on March 4, 2026, at the age of 53.
A devout Christian, Brad was a beloved husband to his devoted wife, Joanie, and was generous, kind, and strong in his faith. He also deeply loved music, sports, food, and connecting with people.
Brad was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Helen Hayduk, as well as his grandparents, and is survived by his sweet pie, Joanie, along with his family and friends.
Brad grew up in Bonnyville, AB and moved to Edmonton to attend NAIT’s Culinary Arts program. He later transitioned into the trades where he was proud of his accomplishments as a journeyman welder and apprentice steamfitter-pipefitter with the local 488. For the last eight years, Brad worked at Leon’s as a sales associate, where he cherished building relationships with coworkers and customers alike.
Brad’s warm smile, humor, and caring spirit will be missed by all who knew him.
My name is Janna Laliberte Waugh and I’ve worked with Brad for the last 3 years at Leon’s Furniture. I wanted to express my condolences for his sudden and tragic loss. He was quite literally my favourite sales associate and a great friend to me over the last 3 years. His memory will live on forever in the hearts of all those his soul has touched here at Leon’s and in his life beyond work. Thank you for sharing him with us, he will be very deeply mourned and missed.
Brad was an incredible human and a great friend! I will cherish all of our time together and you will be very missed. My deepest heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and his wife!
Brad always made me feel welcome when I first started to work at Leon’s. He was always friendly, talkative, and had a good sense of humour. He will be missed by all of us!
I’ve known Brad for 9 months from working together at Leons and he was truly one of my favorite sales associates. He was always positive and one of the few who would genuinely ask people how they were doing. It was really nice knowing him and he will be deeply missed. I send my condolences to his friends and family.
I also worked with Brad for the last 3 years and he was by far one of the friendliest people I’ve met at Leon’s. .. will miss his taps on my office window everyday.. May you rest in peace my friend
Brad had the best hugs and smile! Always made sure he gave me one of each when I’d run into him.
You’re at peace now Brad, don’t you worry I’ll keep your Joanie on her toes. 💔🙏
The entire Kosh family sends our deepest condolences to Joan and family.
We are so sorry for your loss. Trevor and I both adored Brad. He was a friend that you could go a few years falling out of touch and always pick up where you left off. He was the MC at our wedding and did a phenomenal job at it! He was kind, genuine and loyal. We will cherish the many years of memories and friendship.
My sincere condolences to Joan and family and all of Brad’s friends, I’m heartbroken over this devastating news, I will miss Brad and his quirky personality and also how he used to come in and check on all the managers to see how they were doing, Brad always cared about others before himself.
He will always be part of the Leon’s Furniture family and will never be forgotten.

My heart is broken for your loss Joan. I wish there was something I could do for you through this terrible loss. Brad was a funny, sociable, young man, and is gone too soon. I love you with all my heart, and grief with you at your terrible loss.
May our remembrance of Brad be a gift from God—he was truly the salt and light to all who knew him. His kindness, care, laughter, respect, and faithfulness left a lasting mark on everyone he encountered. The love he gave to his family, especially to his wife, Joan, was deep and unwavering, for he lived as their pillar and foundation.
May his time with us remain a blessing to all who knew him, and may we find comfort in knowing that he is now in the presence of our Lord. He will be forever remembered. Let us not forget that what he has left behind is a legacy that calls us to move forward with strength, love, and humility in our own journeys.
For those who know the Lord, his journey has only just begun.
Our prayers are with all his loved ones: May God’s presence surround you, His love lift and hold you close, and His peace rest upon your hearts.
My sincere condolences, unfortunately since moving away I have not seen cousin Brad in far too many years and now only hope to meet up with him in that better place when the time comes. I have many fond memories of visits when they lived in Bonneville, our farm and in Edmonton. Rest easy Brad and my prayers are with you and those you left behind.

Joan and family,
So difficult to find words of comfort at this time but I remember that Brad made you happy and how kind he was to your mom. Those are wonderful memories that can never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with you and the rest of his family.
I was blessed and honoured to call Brad my best friend for over 40 years. We grew up in Bonnyville across the street for each other. I still cannot find the words for the loss.
We use to say “Friends till the end” just never thought it would be this soon.
One of Brad’s favourite saying he came up with was
“Never say Never, Always and Forever, and IF is a very big word”
I will miss you, mine best friend, it not goodbye, but till we meet again in Heaven.
Our sincerest condolences go out to Joanie, family, and friends on cousin Brad’s sudden passing. His welcoming smile and sense of humor was always present. He will be missed.

You touched so many peoples heart it’s hard not to cry missing your loving personality! Rest in peace
