Tevin Francis Haywood, of Hudson, Massachusetts, passed away on Monday, October 26, 2026, at the age of 32.

Tevin leaves behind his loving parents, Deborah Warren of Clinton, Massachusetts, and Kenrick Haywood of Marlborough, Massachusetts, who were blessed to call him their son for 32 years. He is also survived by his stepparents, Amanda Haywood of Marlborough and Chris Despotopulos of Clinton, along with his three sisters, Mia Despotopulos, Braelyn Haywood, and Amiyah Haywood.

Above all, Tevin was a proud and loving father to his three children, Kyree Haywood and Elijah Haywood of Marlborough, and Adriana Haywood of Hudson. He also leaves behind his grandfather, Pastor Kenrick Allan Haywood.

Tevin was predeceased by his beloved grandmothers, Sylvia Haywood and Rosa Collins; his uncle, Joe Braga; and his sister, Danika Despotopulos.

He will also be deeply missed by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends whose lives he touched along the way.

Born in Framingham, Massachusetts, Tevin was raised with strong Christian values and a foundation of faith. As a child, he attended New Covenant Bible Fellowship Church, led by his grandfather, Pastor Kenrick Allan Haywood, where his grandmother, Sylvia V. Haywood, was also his Sunday school teacher.

During his childhood and early teenage years, Tevin attended Excel Church (now Life Church), where Pastor Emy Vasquez personally led him to the Lord. It was there that Tevin made the decision to give his life to Christ, a meaningful part of his spiritual journey.

Tevin enjoyed gaming, computer programming, basketball, cooking, and spending time boxing with his dad. But some of his greatest joys in life came from being a father to his children, a loving big brother to his sisters, and someone who was always willing to lend a helping hand to others.

Tevin had a heart for God and a heart of gold. He will be remembered for the love he had for his family, his willingness to help others, and the special place he held in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Visiting hours will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., followed by a funeral service from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at The Life Church, 839 Ashby State Road, Fitchburg, MA 01420.

Following the service, a celebration of Tevin's life will be held in the church lobby for family and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made through the family's GoFundMe page, accessible using the provided QR code. Contributions will help support funeral expenses, with additional funds going toward an educational fund for Tevin's children.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has offered prayers, love, support, and donations during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion mean more than words can express as we remember and honor our beloved Tevin Francis Haywood.
