Changes

Twice divorced, Haynes left Baton Rouge in the mid-1990s and returned to his hometown of Minden to help with the care of his father, whose health began to decline. Having a degree in education, he also coached for a time in Webster Parish public schools. On the death of former Sheriff Haynes, Fred Haynes took care of his mother until his own health went into steep decline. After months of medical tests, hospitalizations, and nursing home care, Haynes died in Minden Medical Center of long-term esophageal and renal problems. Haynes lacked health insurance and was unable to qualify for [[Social Security]] disability. Friends established a health fund in his name at the Minden Building and Loan Association.​

Juanita Agan (1923-2008), a Haynes family friend and a columnist for the ''Minden Press-Herald,'' wrote in October 2006 that Haynes was probably the most successful all-round athlete to come from Minden, although the city also produced a star of the former Houston Oilers, Charles T. "Charlie" Hennigan (1935-2017). And David Lee, who grew up less than a mile from Haynes, played for the former Baltimore Colts from 1966 to 1978 and won the [[National Football League]] punting title on multiple occasions. There was also the basketball giant, Jackie Moreland.​
