Predeceased by his brothers Arnold and Ivor.

Tributes have been paid in the condolences section of Rip.ie and read as follows: 

"Sincere sympathy to Evelyne and all the family in the sad passing of your beloved husband and father Edgar. Thinking of you at this sad time. Rest in peace Edgar Breeda Hayden and family"

Another reads:

"Sincerest condolences to all the McFadden family on the sad passing of Edgar." Far from the madding crowd. His sober wishes never learned to stray. Along the cool sequestered vale of life. He kept the noiseless tenor of his way. Large was his bounty and his soul sincere. He gained from Heaven....t'was all he wished...a friend " Ar dheis de go raibh a ainm."
