Shane Peoples says
Big brother, you were a great friend. I’m glad we were able to grab a bite to eat, a few weeks ago. That last hug brother, was probably the best. We didn’t know that was going to be the last hug.
I remember meeting you at the video store. We always called jokes with each other. Then we started working together and that’s when our relationship started getting stronger. You were one of my best friends. I miss you so much.
I’m still waiting for you to send me a meme or a Facebook Reel, but nothing is coming through.
Love you big brother.
Deepest condolences for his family and friends.
Rest In Power

Just got word that my brother
passed on Thanksgiving. Hard to put into words the feeling of loss and missed chances to reconnect with him over the years. Reading the posts here it’s obvious he touched a lot of people’s lives. You are missed and loved big brother.
Tiffany Karnisky says
My dearest Brother. My heart is breaking. I will miss you more than you know. As kids you were my rock traveling to and from seeing mom and dad. I felt i had someone who understood. I will miss touching base with you and your silly, and at time inappropriate, FB messages. Rest well. Know that you were and are loved so much. I will never forget our bond. Tell Dad I said hey and give him a hug from me.
Pamela Bermudez says
What a great man he was! Always had a kind word to say. Always smiling and gave the best hugs! You will be missed my friend! Fly high!
Chris Armbrust says
I was just made aware of your passing, my friend. We’ve had several thousand miles between us for many years now. But, I ALWAYS knew that you were right there! I have such found memories of our friendship and your family. You will be missed, Henry…terribly!
Greg and Charlayne says
Rest easy my friend.
Jeanne Hermansen says
Henry, I don’t know what to say. Thankfully the last words we shared were “i love you!” You were sugar and spice in such a unique combination. You loved and protected with a ferocity that can never be forgotten. Who is going to compare me with a gremlin now? You will be missed and loved forever and never forgotten. USC is still the “University of Spoiled Children” even if your not here to hear it! Love you Henry
Troy Hasbrouck says
So sorry to hear about Henry. 2025 has been a rough year
Randal Rhodes says
just read that you passed Robert. I saw you time and again at the Monstore and their events when I lived in the area. You had such a great sense of humor and seemed deeper than most. A quiet giant with a good heart. So sorry for your friends and family’s loss. You were one of the good ones Ive come across in life. The world is a little less without you sir! RIP
