Blaine Matthew Hadden, 18 years old, a resident of Millbrook, NY passed away on Saturday, August 31, 2024, due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
Blaine was born in Sharon, Connecticut on September 29, 2005. He spent his childhood growing up in Millbrook playing most days at home or in the Tribute Gardens with his brothers Shawn Michael and Shane. He developed a love for being outside and mowing lawns at the young age of 2 while riding the tractor with his Poppa, and then, when he was 8, his Aunt Carrie and Uncle Bud taught him to drive a lawn mower by himself. Blaine was previously employed at Marshall's Lawn Service in Millbrook, NY, and most recently at Haab Landscaping in Millerton, NY. Blaine faced every day with a purpose, loved working, being busy, loved dogs, and was a firm believer in taking care of others.

He was Rob Green's right-hand man, and like a son to Steve Nardone. He is also survived by many cousins and friends.
Blaine was predeceased by his Grammy, Joan Shaffer, his Nana and Poppa, Alice and Charles "Bud" Hadden, his adopted grandparents Thomas Edgeworth and Betty Purdy, and his beloved rottweiler Roxie and golden retriever Chevy.
