Charles David Haydon

I had the honor of being asked to memorialize the accomplishments of many men and women who have made their mark in the world. This portrait was commissioned to honor the life of Charles David Haydon by his loving wife, Mary Stuart Spalding Haydon to commemorate his passing and to stand forever as a memorial of his life's work. Charles David Haydon, was a pillar to his community. He and his family were generous with their time and gifts through the years and were always willing to lend a hand when and where needed. He served as a board member for St. Joseph School, a board member of the Bethlehem High School Foundation, and a board member of Spalding Hall Association, where he and his family were working diligently to restore Spalding Hall to its historic splendor.
In addition to his civic activities, he was also an astute business person having served as President and CEO of Haydon Holdings until his retirement in December 2021. He was also chairperson of the Kentucky Crushed Stone Association, president of the Plant Mix Asphalt Industry of Kentucky, president of Kentuckians for Better Transportation, and served on the board of directors of the Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors. This portrait was commissioned to honor his legacy that will live on through his family and into the generations to come.
